Sheila Heti joins the show! I still can't believe it. We talked about the interviewing process, autofiction and creating art from one's life, and writing novels as a "game," and much more, including Friends OFF with Sheila Heti, and a haphazard Penultimate segment feature Sheila the AI Bot.

Included as this month's bonus audio archive material is some "off-the-record" chatter that she and I kept up after the episode ended. It's less formal and doesn't fit the "vibes" of the actual episode, but there's some interesting stuff: more about interview, about my new glasses, and about some new projects I've got going on.

Anyone can access the Bonus Audio Archive if you become a listener supporter through my patreon: patreon.com/timblackett  Last month, Emily Austin submitted a reading of a poem from her forthcoming collection of poetry (not out until 2024!)
