BROKEN HORIZONS
MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 178
Originally aired Wednesday October 16,2024
Featuring UK author JUAN VENEGAS
ABOUT JUAN: Juan obtained his PhD in physics from Edinburgh University in 2013. But don’t worry — he soon realized his mistake and started writing film scripts. He went on to create short films like Elle, Blind Justice, and Siguiente Nivel, which won multiple awards and were screened at international festivals. He also wrote others that won no awards and were utterly embarrassing. These things happen. He turned to prose in 2017 and published numerous short stories in prominent blogs such as The Creative Cafe, The Junction, and Data Driven Investor. In 2022, his first Spanish novel, Segunda Juventud, came out. You should totally read it if you speak Spanish. If you don’t, well, you might still like the cover art.
Broken Horizons is Juan’s second book. He’s currently working on a novel in which a controlling software engineer tries to restore order after everyone in the world swaps bodies with someone else. He’s also working on an Argentine tango novel in which everyone swaps partners all the time, but that’s a bit less dramatic.
Juan currently works as a technical writer. He’s very much in touch with AI and data science, from which he gathers inspiration for his next stories.

MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 176
Originally aired Wednesday October 2,2024 
Featuring Author JOSEPH CARRABIS 
ABOUT JOSEPH: Joseph Carrabis is the author of over a dozen novels and hundreds of short stories, including the Nebula-recommended Cymodoce and the Pushcart nominated The Weight. Raised by his maternal grandfather John, Joseph developed a thirst for knowledge that would motivate him to seek immersion within indigenous societies all over the world. These experiences compelled Joseph to help others and have inspired his writing. In addition to writing fiction, Joseph is the author of internationally best-selling non-fiction. Prior to becoming a full-time author, Joseph sat on several advisory boards including the Center for Multicultural Science and the Journal of Cultural Marketing Strategy. He was a Senior Research Fellow at the Society for New Communications Research, an Annenberg Fellow at the University of Southern California, and served with the UN/NYAS Scientists Without Borders program. Joseph was born in Melrose, MA, and currently lives in Nashua, New Hampshire with his wife, Susan, and their four-legged child, Boo. Blah blah blah... Personally, I think I'm rather boring and dull. I figured that wouldn't make good copy so I asked a bunch of friends how they'd describe me. Everybody said I was "intriguing". That's a nice double-edged word, don't you think? Kind of like something you want to stare at from a distance or with a good, solid, thick piece of steel reinforced glass between you and whatever you're looking at. Me, if I think something's intriguing, I want to know more about it but I don't want to get too close while getting to know more about it. Know what I mean?...

EXPLOSIVE EMOTIONS
MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 172
Originally aired Wednesday September 4,2024
Featuring Author KALE SUDHOFF
ABOUT KALE: My name is Kale Sudhoff, and I am currently 19 years old. I am busy attending college to become an Elementary School Teacher and am working as an Enrichment teacher at a local Preschool. I am a typical teenager hanging out with friends, but in my free time I love to write and illustrate children’s books. I have written and illustrated three children’s books. In the Fall of 2020, when I was a Sophomore in High School, I released my first book, "Danny the Duck Heads South," and in the Spring of 2022, when I was a Junior in High School, I released my second book, "Danny and Kevin Conquer Camping." Throughout my school years, I have seen kids being excluded for being different or having a disability, so I wanted "Danny and Kevin Conquer Camping" to raise awareness for Limb Loss and Limb Difference. My latest book, "Stewart H. Quills and His Explosive Emotions" was released in the Fall of 2023. I am on a mission to inspire children to thrive, regardless of their challenges. I am currently working on my next book, "Born to Stand Out," to raise awareness for Hearing Loss. A portion of every book sale is donated to The Aktion Club, a local organization for people with disabilities. I have recently connected with Allie Gray, Miss Ohio's Teen 2024 and together we have founded Silent Opportunities, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and support for the hearing loss and deaf community. Our mission is to raise funds for the Ohio School for the Deaf and to award a scholarship to a local high school graduate impacted by hearing loss or disability.
