Out of Curiosity with kt mather

This episode, Kekla Magoon! We discuss her path from activist educator to award winning movelist; what stories publishers want from Black authors; how the shape of a story effects its meaning; then deep dive into Roxane Gay's heartrending memoir, Hunger.

This episode, my former students, the Whalen sisters--you can't tell them apart...We talk about teenage drinking; how comedy, male relationships, and well-timed explosions make Die Hard the great movie it is; and we ask is rage just fear?

This episode you'll meet my former student Taylor Wallace! We talk tea & cats, blockchain, why the dinos died, how human suffering & evolution intersect, robot overlords, is money speech?, and how AA is like cryptocurrency.

This week, the delightful Bill Tanner! We discuss sports, aging, shitty jobs, bbqs, coffee roasting, vulnerability, the fate of bananas, the difference between abuse and manipulation in coaching, and one of our fave ice hockey movies, Miracle.

This week, the smart and funny Jenn Fiorini! We discuss cursing at job interviews, pathological liars for bosses, how if you thought jr. sucked in the 80s, 90s, or 00s, try it now, with social media...We also discuss the very good and anxiety-inducing movie 8th grade.

This episode is a little different in that we skip the book club and end after Professor Stewart's amazing story about his role in the dangerous and awe-inspiring mission to get supplies inside Wounded Knee.

Welcome to Out of Curiosity with kt mather, the podcast where I talk with people who are good at talking! Every week I talk with a guest about how we know each other, what the guest does that's cool, and then we'll take a deep dive into a book or movie.
