Podcasts about Memoir

Today, we're re-airing one of our favorite Radio Cherry Bombe episodes. Ina Garten joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her memoir, “Be Ready When The Luck Happens.” Ina shares what she learned about herself while writing the memoir, why she included stories about her unhappy childhood, overcoming hardships with her husband Jeffrey, and their decision not to have children. She also talks about her “leap before you look” philosophy, how Oprah Winfrey inspired the title of the book, the early Barefoot Contessa days in the Hamptons, and why she's “the worst kind of childless cat lady.”Pre-order our new Mom's the Bombe issueJubilee NYC 2026 tickets hereSubscribe to our SubstackCheck out Cherry Bombe on ShopMyVisit cherrybombe.com for subscriptions, tickets to upcoming events, and more.More on Ina: Instagram, website, “Be Ready When The Luck Happens” memoirMore on Kerry: Instagram, “So You Want To Open A Restaurant” essay

Essayist and fiction writer Erica Stern on writing hybrid nonfiction, weaving memoir with research and a ghost-story thread, and finding a publishing home for genre-defying work.   You'll learn:What “hybrid nonfiction” can look like when memoir, research, and a fictional thread are all working toward one emotional truth.Ways to make a genre-bending draft feel cohesive, even when it's built from multiple modes and timelines.How reverse outlining can help you figure out what each section is really doing, and tighten the book's throughline in revision.Why “moving the pieces around” for a long time can be part of the process when the structure has to be discovered, not imposed.A mindset shift for writers making unconventional work: follow what the project needs first, before you worry about outcome or category.How to treat “weirdness” as an asset (not a liability) when the form is doing meaning, not just style.Practical publishing encouragement for genre-defying books: small presses can be a strong fit, and there's a growing audience for hybrid forms.What it can look like to publish without chasing “bestseller” logic, and instead focus on reaching the right readers with the best version of the book.Why writing “for the market” isn't the only path to publication—and how commitment to the story can be what ultimately helps it find a home.  Resources & Links:

This episode is for the writer who is overwhelmed whenever you look at the publishing pipeline. There are so many thresholds to cross, gates to enter, and milestones to reach that what you thought would be a marathon is more akin to a super marathon, or multiple marathons run back to back. “Published author” may feel far in the future, but I want to offer you a reframe in this episode that will revolutionize how you approach not just the publishing process but the entire drafting and editing process as well.

The Business of Memoir with Jeffrey MangusMost memoirs never reach their potential.They're written for therapy… not for strategy.For catharsis… not for clarity.For memory… not for momentum.In this episode, Jeffrey Mangus breaks down the truth most writers — and most leaders — don't talk about:Memoir is a business.If you're a founder, healthcare executive, physician, or industry leader, your story isn't just personal. It's positioning. It's intellectual property. It's authority architecture.Jeffrey explores:   •   Why vulnerability must be strategic, not performative   •   How voice becomes enterprise value   •   The economics behind serious memoir work   •   Why most books fail before they're even written   •   How to turn a memoir into a publishing platform — not just a productThis is not about writing for ego.It's about writing for alignment.If you've ever felt the weight of your story — and wondered how to shape it into something meaningful and market-defining — this episode is for you.If This ResonatedSubscribe to the podcast so you don't miss future episodes on authorship, authority, publishing strategy, and building legacy through narrative.If this conversation sparked something for you, share it with a founder, physician, or executive who needs to hear it.And if you're ready to explore your own memoir — not casually, but intentionally — you can book a strategic voice and positioning conversation using the Calendly link inside our GPT.Not a discovery call.A real conversation about building something that lasts.— Jeffrey Mangus

Karen Bermann grew up in the mad orbit of her father, Fritz, the rebellious child of a Viennese Orthodox Jewish family who fled Europe alone as an adolescent in the late 1930s. An irreverent, comic, rageful man with three names, who spoke three languages, lived on three continents, and always kept his papers in order, Fritz lived a life shaped by survival. In this memoir, told in alternating voices in brief, lyrical episodes, Bermann explores not only the mystery of her father but also the inheritance he passed on: intergenerational trauma, fragile familial bonds, and a fraught sense of belonging. The Art of Being a Stranger: A Family Memoir (New Jewish Press, 2025) is a darkly funny narrative told in poetry, prose, and mixed-media drawings. While her father taught her how to save herself, Bermann realized early on that what she truly needed was to be saved from him. Set against the backdrop of 1960s and 1970s New York City, The Art of Being a Stranger is a poignant comic-drama that offers an intimate, layered exploration of parents and children in the shadow of history.

Part One- Investigative Reporter Rico Moore talks about allegations of inhumane conditions in ICE detention facilities. Part Two- from 2019, best-selling author Reyna Grande talks about her book "A Dream Called Home: a Memoir," which explores her own immigrant experience.

A memoir has been written by shamed business titan Ron Brierley who was imprisoned and lost his knighthood after his conviction for possession of child sex abuse material in 2021. The book, titled The History of Brierley Investments Ltd - Not As Boring As You Think, is being published by Henry Newrick. Newrick defended his decision to publish the book saying, "he's perfectly entitled, anybody's entitled to, write about whatever they want to write about." He told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "I did it on a matter of principle, and also because I found the subject interesting." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gov. Josh Shapiro has plenty of dark experiences that he could recount in his new memoir, Where We Keep the Light. In his first term as Pennsylvania's governor, he investigated abuse within the Catholic Church and was the victim of an arson attack in his own home. But as Shapiro eyes a second term in Pennsylvania, he says he's choosing to focus on the light. In today's episode Shapiro sits down with NPR's Scott Detrow, and the two discuss the power of local civic engagement — including how small communities can produce big change. To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week's episode touches upon so many interesting topics for memoirists—from catalyst moments that create the foundational stories of our memoirs; to the ways we can prism experience through “before” and “after”; to the journey of titling and subtitling; to the wild and unpredictable individual journeys that lead to published books. Author Karen Palmer is an insightful guest whose memoir and journey to publication will inspire and propel you along, and remind you to stay the course. Your story matters! Karen Palmer's memoir She's Under Here grew out of her award-winning essay The Reader Is the Protagonist, first published in VQR and selected by Leslie Jamison for inclusion in Best American Essays 2017. She has received a Pushcart Prize and grants from the NEA and the Colorado Council on the Arts, and is the author of the novels All Saints and Border Dogs. Other work has appeared in the Kenyon Review, Arts & Letters, The Rumpus, and Kalliope. She teaches at Lighthouse Writers Workshop in Denver, and lives with her husband in California.

In her posthumously published memoir, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre alleges that while she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates she was sent to a “well-known Prime Minister” who raped her “more savagely than anyone had before”. She describes being choked until unconscious, bleeding from multiple wounds, and begging Epstein not to return her to that person — only to be told coldly “You'll get that sometimes.”The identity of the prime minister remains undisclosed in the memoir, but the revelation has stirred renewed scrutiny of the power networks and political complicity surrounding Epstein's trafficking operations. According to media coverage, Giuffre's ghostwriter claims to know all the “names in Epstein's files” and the book has reignited debates about immunity, accountability and how high the cover-up goes.Virginia Roberts Giuffre's allegations against her father, Sky Roberts, form one of the most painful elements of her memoir Nobody's Girl. In it, she writes that the abuse began when she was a young child and continued for years, leaving her emotionally broken and distrustful of the people who were supposed to protect her. She describes her father as someone who manipulated her sense of love and loyalty, creating confusion and fear. This betrayal, she explains, destroyed the foundation of safety that every child should have, and it became the earliest chapter of the exploitation that would later consume her life. Her account frames the abuse as the beginning of a long cycle of predation — one that made her susceptible to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's manipulation as a teenager.Sky Roberts has categorically denied the accusations, calling them false and saying he is devastated by the claims. Despite his denials, Virginia maintains that her father's actions were a key part of the trauma that defined her adolescence and adulthood. She says that being violated by someone within her own family conditioned her to accept mistreatment from others, because she no longer believed she deserved safety or respect. Her allegations have reignited painful conversations about generational abuse and how early trauma can make victims easier targets for predators later in life. For Giuffre, confronting this chapter publicly appears to be both an act of truth-telling and a step toward reclaiming power after years of silence and exploitation.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

If you've listened to the previous two reset episodes from January, 2022, you know that I have issues with the expectations that American corporate leadership culture has placed upon pastors. Some fit easily within the roles defined for them, they become growth visionaries and ministry strategists. As my dad, a carpenter used to say, “they fit like they growed there.” But many of us don't fit. Not in the way we are supposed to. And that is okay. I want to free us from those expectations. But once freed, what then? In this episode I invite pastors to dream. Freed from the cultural expectations what might your vision, your real, deep, heartfelt vision for ministry be? That will be what will make your heart flourish in ministry. Let's consider that.

Mark Haddon might be best known for his 2003 breakout novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. But it's only the tip of a body of work that stretches across genres and artforms. He's the author of three other adult novels, including The Porpoise and two collections of short stories. Dogs and Monsters came out last year. He's also written poetry and plays. Before The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark wrote over a dozen children's books. He's also an illustrator and visual artist. Out this month is Leaving Home: A Memoir in Full Colour, which gives us access to his amazing mind and provides one roadmap into the creative process (recognizing there are an infinite number of roads). He joins Marrie Stone to talk about his insights into the craft including using constraints to enhance creativity, why he no longer uses flowcharts to map his work, how the flow state in writing differs from visual art, how writers' childhoods are different, and how he leaned into his writing weaknesses to produce The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. He also talks about mental illness and creativity, points of view he won't touch, and so much more. For more information on Writers on Writing and to become a supporter, visit our Patreon page.

It offers exquisite period details of immigrant life in the U.S. and village life in China.One woman's epic odyssey, one family's story of striving in a foreign country, one generation's unique memory. An amazing memoir where the “strength of water,” the power of resilience and adapting to any circumstance, is the common thread that flows through the whole family, connecting everyone's lives. Touching, inspiring, and brilliantly written.Shen Yang, Author of More Than One ChildThroughout my childhood, my mother told stories of growing up in her father's Detroit laundry business during the infancy of the automobile industry and later in a Cantonese village on the eve of the Sino-Japanese war. She also spoke of what it was like to survive as a live-in domestic worker and teen waitress in mid-century California.The Strength of Water is a daughter's careful excavation of her mother's story; it is a mother's disclosure of history, of trauma, of realities that mark not only her life but the legacy of her daughters'. This is a book written with tremendous love and authenticity. It is an important document of the Asian American experience.Kao Kalia Yang, Award winning author of The Song Poet and The LatehomecomerThese stories felt like mythology, far removed from my experiences growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, yet vital to preserve as history. When I decided to set them down, I could hear my mother's voice so clearly that I wrote in the first person.

This Monday February 9th on KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine Kate Raphael talks with Arlene Eisen about her new memoir In the Worldwide Family of Militant Women. Arlene has been a militant in the struggle against imperialism and white supremacy since the 1960s—first as a protester facing tear gas and later as a teacher and writer. She edited the newspaper called The Movement, and was a leading voice in the anti-imperialist women's movement of the 1970s. At various times as she raised her two sons mostly as a single parent, she was a lecturer in sociology and women's studies, a machinist, a journalist and public health expert. During the first ten years of her children's lives, she was on welfare. In 2012 Arlene Eisen authored the groundbreaking study, Operation Ghetto Storm, published by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, which revealed that an unarmed Black person is killed by an agent of the state every 28 hours in the united states. In the Worldwide Family of Militant Women traces Arlene's journey from New York to Berkeley to Vietnam, China, Cuba, and back to San Francisco. She narrates her deep involvement in the Black Freedom struggle, the sixties counterculture, the movements to stop the Vietnam War, to support anti-imperialist struggles from Iran to Puerto Rico people, and the growing importance of feminism in helping her make sense of her own life. In the Worldwide Family of Militant Women is available from Iskra Books. And in the second half of the show Lisa Dettmer talks to composer and Musician Adrienne Torf. Adrienne Torf and her collaborator Raymond O Caldwell have produced an intimate portrait of well known local legendary black feminist and activist scholar, teacher and poet June Jordan by combining her words of fierce commitment to justice and self determination for all people with music and movement. The show, “Poetry for the People: The June Jordan Experience” is being performed in Berkeley for one night only on February 24th at the Freight and Salvage. This show is performed by six actors from the Fountain Theatre, Los Angeles production and Jordan's collaborator and partner, composer/pianist Adrienne Torf. the show features Jordan's poetry, interviews, and other writing, along with her work set to music by Torf, John Adams, and Bernice Johnson Reagon. “Poetry for the People: The June Jordan Experience” was honored with the Theater Washington Helen Hayes Charles MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play in 2023.

In her posthumously published memoir, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre alleges that while she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates she was sent to a “well-known Prime Minister” who raped her “more savagely than anyone had before”. She describes being choked until unconscious, bleeding from multiple wounds, and begging Epstein not to return her to that person — only to be told coldly “You'll get that sometimes.”The identity of the prime minister remains undisclosed in the memoir, but the revelation has stirred renewed scrutiny of the power networks and political complicity surrounding Epstein's trafficking operations. According to media coverage, Giuffre's ghostwriter claims to know all the “names in Epstein's files” and the book has reignited debates about immunity, accountability and how high the cover-up goes.Virginia Roberts Giuffre's allegations against her father, Sky Roberts, form one of the most painful elements of her memoir Nobody's Girl. In it, she writes that the abuse began when she was a young child and continued for years, leaving her emotionally broken and distrustful of the people who were supposed to protect her. She describes her father as someone who manipulated her sense of love and loyalty, creating confusion and fear. This betrayal, she explains, destroyed the foundation of safety that every child should have, and it became the earliest chapter of the exploitation that would later consume her life. Her account frames the abuse as the beginning of a long cycle of predation — one that made her susceptible to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's manipulation as a teenager.Sky Roberts has categorically denied the accusations, calling them false and saying he is devastated by the claims. Despite his denials, Virginia maintains that her father's actions were a key part of the trauma that defined her adolescence and adulthood. She says that being violated by someone within her own family conditioned her to accept mistreatment from others, because she no longer believed she deserved safety or respect. Her allegations have reignited painful conversations about generational abuse and how early trauma can make victims easier targets for predators later in life. For Giuffre, confronting this chapter publicly appears to be both an act of truth-telling and a step toward reclaiming power after years of silence and exploitation.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

"To be a good writer, you have to really get into the visceral parts of the experience, right?
