In this eleventh full episode of Cabana Chats, writer Amy Shearn talks with Resort founder Catherine LaSota about how our life circumstances impact our writing, and the joy of finding writing that speaks to you and connecting with strangers via your own writing. Some possible podcast spinoff ideas are also discussed! Also -- is Amy alien or human? You'll have to listen to find out!
