    "Like, what happened? Just drop us in there. So there's a context. For me, I always love to understand sort of transition points in a person's career, person's life that really helped them pivot. So I'm psyched about hearing your voice here. Thanks."

  • @DBPardes | ERIN LOUIS | fiction versus non-fiction

    "I'm just wondering if you could talk about your relationship to fiction and nonfiction, both as a writer of your own work, because you have a ton of it, and also as a reader. Like, what do you love to do more?"

  • @DBPardes | ERIN LOUIS | representing the misrepresented

    "Aaron, when you think about your advocacy work, I wanted to ask you about the role you play as a writer to help misrepresented people feel seen and feel advocated for, and maybe even giving them a platform that they don't feel like they have. But based on your exposure to all of that misrepresentation, you're inviting them to be a part of this world and talk with their own voice."

  • @authors | PAUL BRUNETTA | why is nicotine so addictive?

    "Why what is nicotine, I guess, and what does our body think it is? And what does the body do when we smoke it? I really appreciate this answer because it's kind of a baseline for me."

  • @authors | PAUL BRUNETTA | basic ways to stop addiction to nicotine

    "But can you talk about it from the perspective of when the body starts to get nicotine out of its system? What is happening? A really nice thing, probably, right? What's the body experience when it's no longer addicted to nicotine? And how should somebody think about it from that perspective?"

  • @authors | PAUL BRUNETTA | stuff we don’t know about smoking

    "Hey, Paul. I feel like a lot of people think that they know what smoking does to the body in terms of, like, the lungs and the heart. But I feel like I want to understand what I don't know about this. What are the things that you want us to know about smoking in connection to what it is or what it does? Or maybe I'm even curious about why there are people out there that want us to smoke."
