Today’s episode is brought to you by: coincidence.

It’s how I met both of these great writers. Last year, I covered Bob Brody’s essay panel at the American Society of Journalists and Authors for The Writer Magazine. His book Playing Catch with Strangers: A Family Guy (Reluctantly) Comes of Age came out on Father’s Day this June on Heliotrope Books.

This year, I interviewed Mandy Len Catron for my book proposal on Modern Love essays. Her new book How to Fall in With Anyone comes out on June 27 on Simon and Schuster.

Mandy’s also got a NEW Modern Love that was published on Sunday, June 25, 2017: “To Stay in Love, Sign on the Dotted Line.”
