literally show me a healthy person by darcie wilder is one of our favorite books this season, and today we’re talking to darcie all about it (and a whole lot more). after calling for ducks, newburyport in every port, we talk about darcie’s process to writing, how film school informed her structure, and how rad harmony korine is. darcie’s dog coco stops by as we talk about skunks and armadillos and then praise diners. darcie talks about separating truth from fiction in the writing and what it was like to record the audiobook before outing her self as a fan of the pod (and the books we cover). we talk about what she originally wanted the book to be called, celebrity book clubs, and kendall jenner. darcie recommends some books. we talk about dating profiles and how astrology is wack.
