In this special episode, we’re joined by author Evan Kidwell to explore the psychology behind his YA fantasy novel Timeaous Spark and the Luck Curse.

We talk about the inspiration behind the story, the world and its complex social system, and themes like bullying, resilience, ambition, and belonging. We also dive into the idea of found family and how meaningful connections can shape a character’s journey.

This episode is mostly spoiler-free — perfect whether you’ve read the book or are just curious.

We had such a great time recording this one — hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
