    #113 - Luise Noring - Author, "Hidden"

    In this episode, Daron sits down with Danish author Luise Noring to discuss her political thriller Hidden — a story set in a New York City on the brink of civil war, following Saskia, a homeless mother who finds refuge in Grand Central Station as a hidden world of rebellion stirs beneath the city. Emotionally grounded and politically sharp, the novel explores poverty, injustice, and what ordinary people are willing to do when survival is at stake — and now, it's being brought to life on screen in collaboration with Malin Entertainment. Tune in for a conversation about the book, the film, and the real-world tensions that inspired it all.
