In this episode, we’re joined by Carla Malden—accomplished screenwriter, memoirist, and novelist—to discuss her latest work, Playback, a gripping psychological noir set against the shadows of modern-day Los Angeles.

Carla, daughter of the legendary Oscar-winning actor Carl Malden, brings a cinematic edge and emotional depth to her storytelling. In Playback, she explores the blurry lines between memory and truth, perception and reality, and how our pasts haunt our present.

Join us as we talk inspiration, family legacy, the writing life, and what happens when the all converge.
