LIFE | 2024 Summer Edition | Couldn't Wouldn't Didn't Willy (Wilamina) Russo

LIFE | My name is Willy Russo and chances are, you’re tuned in here for art content. As much as I love art and talking with creatives, over the summer I’ve worked on a couple of side episodes that I thought I would bring to you as a little holiday listening.
These are not specifically art related. They are life related.
I am going to start to label the podcast with ART or LIFE straight up so you know if it’s an episode you want to tune in to.
This first one is a celebration of a project I launched 10 years ago. I recently had three separate enquiries about it which made me think, maybe I need to revisit it.
It’s a pretty personal project and most of you would know if you follow me here or on my socials, I don’t really talk about me. So it feels a little strange bringing this out.
Ten years ago I wrote a nonfiction book, a collection of stories about women who never gave birth to children of their own. The book’s called Couldn’t Wouldn’t Didn’t, insights into the lives of women who never gave birth. It's under my maiden name, Falkenhagen.
In this summer episode of the podcast, I thought I would read you the introduction. I am the 11th chapter in the book. Which can I tell you, re-reading it recently made me nauseous! And I wonder if for you, when you see some of your early creative projects you’re like, what was I thinking?!
You can grab the book now, it’s available on Amazon, that’s the cheapest place to find it.
Podcast production and hosting by Willy Russo.
