PINATA With Leopoldo Gout

In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the shadows with Dan Franklin, discussing his latest book, “THESE THINGS LINGER.”

Dan did not disappoint with his newest offering. "These Things Linger" explores the eerie tale of a small town gripped by ancient secrets and how past actions can haunt the present. I love how Dan weaved in the theme of "lingering"—how emotions, memories, and guilt can persist across generations, influencing lives in ways both subtle and profound.
