Let's just face that dragon head-on: one is obligated to buy our books.Not our friends. Not our families. Not random internet strangers. Not even that one person who “said they would.”And while that truth can sting a little… it can also set us free.Because now the question isn't “How do I convince people to care?”It's “How can I have the most fun & satisfaction creating something so good they'll want to say yes?”This is your encouragement in the trenches, friends. Yes, it's hard. But it's also so worth it. Go forth and be awesome.Author Culture is a reader-supported podcast that I create to help scifi and fantasy authors just like you.

Fourteen years ago, Amy Chua published Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. It was received less like a book and more like a nuclear bomb. Here are some headlines from the time: “Why I Will Never Be a Tiger Mom.” “Why Amy Chua Is Wrong About Parenting.” “Amy Chua Is a Circus Trainer, Not a Tiger Mother.” “The Human Race Needs Elephant Mothers, Not Tiger Mothers.” “Amy Chua's Recipe for Disaster and the Externalized Cost of Book Sales.” Then, just as the publicity around Tiger Mother died down, Amy came out with The Triple Package, about why some ethnic groups succeed. People called her racist. Then she came out in support of Brett Kavanaugh's court nomination in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal (before he was accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford). Afterward, people accused her of misogyny and grooming. And she was almost forced out of Yale for it.  Then, in 2021, she was accused of hosting boozy dinner parties during COVID lockdowns and “dinner party-gate” was born. Yale punished her by barring her from teaching her “small group” first-year student contingency.  Fast-forward to 2025. And the tables have turned. Being a strict “tiger mom”? In. Free speech? In. Wokeness and hypersensitivity? Out. Covid lockdowns? Definitely out. Vicious character assassinations at Senate confirmations? Out. As Free Press reporter Peter Savodnik just wrote: “The ideas that Chua was pilloried for are suddenly back in fashion.”  Just a few weeks ago, she attended the inauguration of the incoming president and vice president—one of whom happens to be her former student and mentee.  It's easy to be a weather vane—to go where the wind blows. It's hard to be Amy Chua—to stand up for your beliefs even when they are not popular, even when it means personal consequences. On today's episode, live in D.C. during inauguration weekend, Chua explains how and why she won—and what it feels like to be vindicated.  If you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to TheFP.com and become a Free Press subscriber today.

We begin Hour 1 with another installment of "Behind the Bit" taking a look at the time Greg Cote scooped Dan's engagement ahead of Dan or Valerie being able to let their loved ones know the news. Then, as we continue to celebrate Greg's birthday, we learn more details about his "Back In My Day" book, but Stugotz ALSO has news regarding his "Personal Record Book" despite clearly not knowing what's in it. Plus, the ACC's new commemorative coin looks like...something. Also, Ron Magill is here! He chats with the crew about Greg's Birthday and Jai Alai before he answers a Mystery Crate question about Siegfried and Roy's Tiger and explains why animals don't know how big they are, why bringing wooly mammoths out of extinction is dangerous, and why Chimp Crazy is, well, crazy.
