    Everything You’ve Been Told About Storytelling is Wrong
    Sep 3 2024

    Jade and David discuss the art of storytelling through writing and music. They talk about:

    • How stories can be made into a somatic experience
    • Understanding character motivation and creating ‘real’ people
    • The perfectly ambiguous ending of Twin Peaks: The Return
    • How we can make stories that will change the world for the better

    ‘The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.’ Read The Speed of Darkness by Muriel Rukeyser

  • Masking, Neurodivergence, and Posing Nude with Eva Aldea

    Masking, Neurodivergence, and Posing Nude with Eva Aldea
    Aug 13 2024

    Jade talks to writer Eva Aldea about living a creative life while managing the impacts of neurodivergence. They also discuss the ‘brand’ Eva has built on Instagram, where she is posing nude as a way of querying aging, masking, and perceptions of the female body.

    Eva Aldea is a writer, lecturer and editor. Her first novel Singapore (Holland House Books 2023), and her book in progress, Stockholm, explore migration and belonging.

    She is @to_write_like_a_dog on Instagram (and Substack for unredacted photos) and she is writing a pamphlet about the process and experience of taking nude selfies, forthcoming with Intergraphia Books. Eva is also working on a collection of essays on neurodivergence and mental health, forthcoming with Broken Sleep Books in 2025, and she edits writers’ reflections on diagnoses, psychological and physical, on the website Dx: Diagnosis and Writing.
