Greetings from Florida! Sunshine state native Kristen Arnett shares her personal stories about growing up in Orlando, being a queer writer, her family dynamics and…the art of taxidermy. “Mostly Dead Things” has been described as “Arnett's vision of Florida as a creative swamp of well-meaning misfits and the sweet hopefulness of finding your way back to yourself through family.” Kristen joins Mitchell for a candid, humorous and moving conversation. And a delicious brunch from the Books & Books Café, where this episode was recorded.
