Real People/Fake Stories
INTO THE ABISCUIT
Today we are joined by author LA Fields to discuss how she puts real people from history into her fictionalized books. From Oscar Wilde to Abe Lincoln and many more in between, Fields is an expert at mining the historical record for real examples of anecdotes that lend themselves to homoerotica and romance. So do you wanna know how Honest Abe really felt about Walt Whitman, at least from LA's perspective? You know you do. Give us a listen and find L.A. Fields wherever you get books (GoodReads, Lethe Press, Rebel Satori Press) and on socials: author_lafields on Twitter, and la_fields on...

Today we are joined by longtime friend of the pod Jennifer Smith as she regals us with not one but two family stories - one of which is about a vacation trip when she was a little girl. She learned a lot about the country, herself, her father, and Waffle House. Come on in and join us.

Buddha Biscuits: Culture, Story, Religion, and Eastern Traditions.
INTO THE ABISCUIT
We are joined this week by the hosts of Bright on Buddhism Nick Bright and friend of the pod Proven Paradox to discuss storytelling in the Eastern tradition. Stories shape culture, and vice versa. There is no clearer indicator of this reality than the look at the differences in the ways cultures engage with their stories. Check out Bright On Buddhism on spotify. Proven Paradox's RPG Story Shaper System is here - and the INTO THE ABISCUIT discord is here: https://discord.com/invite/5BdM9BUdmm

A Story of Dying
INTO THE ABISCUIT
Today Nurse Rosie talks with us about working in the medical profession and the profound effect death has on a person - whether you ascribe to the after life or not. I don't wanna give anything away, but this is a dark and special episode. It's full of hope and a great example of storytelling as catharsis.
info_outlineToday we are joined by writer, director, and reluctant actor Wyatt Scott. Wyatt speaks with us about their upcoming play "Machine Yourself." The play is based on a short story ("The Girl Who Was Plugged In" by James Tiptree Jr.) that moved Scott to tears the first time they read it. We cover what it means to adapt a story into a play, how you take a story that is both so much your own but also literally someone else's and do both artists justice, and how one tells a story as a writer, playwright, director, and actor. This episode covers identity (non-binary and otherwise), sci-fi, the struggle to create, and even the financial industry. You can catch "Machine Yourself" April 2 at 2:00 and 5:00 pm online at wyattscott.org and in person at the Barber Shop Theater in Nashville, TN. All tickets are donation-based and proceeds go to Appalachian OUTreach, a non-profit that helps LGBTQ+ youth in East Tennessee.
