The show notes are as follows:

 

I tell how I came up with the idea for my book, "Blue Whiskey". I talk about novelty songs, people from the East Coast with diverse and well-educated siblings, and folk musicians who can't escape Bob Dylan's long shadow.

 

I talk about the loneliest whale in the ocean. Have a box of Kleenex. I explain anthropomorphization as it relates to Blue Whales and terriers.

 

I read an excerpt from "Blue Whiskey" and explain how an author goes about using real people in a fictional work.

 

I talk about Tori Amos's song, "Promise", which she does with her thirteen-year-old daughter and the reaction of YouTube idiots.
