This Podcast Needs a Title Erica Davis & Ciara Duggan

In the long-overdue fourth episode of season three, the cohosts talk with literary agent Danielle Burby of Mad Woman Literary about her journey from interning into opening her own agency, hustling, holding space for relaxation, and risk-taking.

In a very special episode of This Podcast Needs a Title, Isabel and Erica rant, rave, complain, and scream into their hearts with none other than Bram Stoker Award Finalist Ally Malinenko.

After a longer than expected hiatus, the co-hosts are back and joined by a third co-host, Isabel Sterling! 

In this 2nd episode of season 3, Isabel and Erica (who miss Ciara a lot) are joined by their emotional support writing buddy author Vanessa Montalban to talk about her debut book A Tall Dark Trouble. Shenanigans 100% guaranteed.

Welcome to Season 3, Nerds.

We have a GREAT first episode but Erica lost the recording.  There's still some cool stuff though. Stay awesome. 

See you in April.
