Brian’s guest is author and podcaster Mallory O’Meara. Mallory wrote the bestselling nonfiction book The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick. Her upcoming Girly Drinks, a feminist history of women and alcohol, is out just a week from broadcast of this episode. Mallory is also the co-host of the literary podcast Reading Glasses.

Mallory and Brian talk about how authors are bound to social media and the frustration that brings; how her career took a left turn into non-fiction; and the way Covid disrupted the fragile social lives of creative professionals. Enjoy Brian's conversation with Mallory O’Meara.
