On this episode, Benjamin Gorman gabs with Sarena Ulibarri, author of ANOTHER LIFE, about pro-wrestling (WWE and AEW), the swimmer Benoît Lecomte braving the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, protecting a nature preserve in Albuquerque, and participating in psychology experiments. So, totally normal writer stuff. 

Today’s secret phrase is: Garbage Patch
