    Fake Memoir? What's going on with The Salt Path? Plus: Author deals and AI comes for translators
    Jul 14 2025

    Watch as a full video episode on YouTube


    We discuss the scandal surrounding The Salt Path, the bestselling book that was turned into a movie - but was it all too good to be true? Plus, as Sarah J. Maas pens a huge rights deal, we ask whether normal authors can ever dream of things like that, and we also discuss the launch of Globescribe.ai and whether AI translation could ever match humans. Plus, Nadine offers a grisly answer to the question "where do you get your ideas?"
