I had a super fun time talking with Alexandrine. Also, finally did an episode with someone in the US on this podcast and only had to manage a 2 hour time zone difference!! Topics include: The impact life transitions have on creative work, Defining the ever-changing label of “transgressive” writing, Thoughts on writing autofiction, Publishing indie vs. big 5, Academia and day jobs, Neon Genesis Evangelion plus other influences — Among many many other thoughts and tangents. Beats in this episode are produced by G.V.A. ********************************************************Alexandrine Ogundimu is a Nigerian-American transgender writer from Indiana.
