If you know one thing about the country musician Orville Peck, it's probably that he wears a mask. Peck has long kept himself shrouded in mystery, shielding his face from the public and revealing few details about his past. His music, however, is full of emotional honesty and vulnerability — he told the Modern Love podcast that most of his lyrics are about his life — and his songs are imbued with a deep sense of longing.In this episode, Peck talks about why country music uniquely captures our complicated feelings about love, and why love and pain are so often intertwined. He reads a Modern Love essay, “Strung Out on Love and Checked In for Treatment” by Rachel Yoder, about love addiction, and discusses what it takes to pull yourself from its distressing grip.Here's how to submit a Modern Love essay to The New York TimesHere's how to submit a Tiny Love Story Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Rachel Yoder's darkly comedic and wildly original novel Nightbitch. The story follows an unnamed mother grappling with the exhaustion of stay-at-home parenthood, feeling isolated and unfulfilled while her husband is constantly away for work. Overwhelmed by the mundane and relentless routine of toddler care, she begins to notice alarming changes—sharper teeth, patches of fur, and primal urges—that suggest she might be transforming into something entirely other: a dog.

Motherhood is a doggone nightmare in the new film from Marielle Heller. This week, the writer director of movies like The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Can You Ever Forgive Me? and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood returns to cinemas with one of the more surreal-sounding offerings of the year – Nightbitch, a drama in which Amy Adams plays a parent by day and a dog by night. If you weren't already familiar with the 2021 Rachel Yoder novel on which it's based, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this film is a frantic comedy, or possibly the mad fever dream of Charlie Kelly from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia – a character with his fair share of hound-based ideas for movies. But no, Nightbitch is something else – an affecting, magical realist tale of a woman pushed over a feral brink by the physical and societal demands placed on women, that needs to be seen to be believed.On today's episode, Marielle joins Al Horner to break down in spoiler-filled detail this remarkable film. We get into why the realities of birth – the body horror of it all – are so under-acknowledged in pop culture. We talk about why, after the gentleness of films like A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood, Marielle fled in the opposite direction, towards this anarchic scream of a story. And you'll also discover the truth behind some of the movie's more ambiguous, unresolved questions: such as, are the women that Adams character befriends also secretly dogs?Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Christmas is almost upon us, and before we ring in the New Year with our GOTY picks, it's time for us here at the Indieventure podcast to pour ourselves a generous glug of mulled wine and reflect on the year as a whole as it pertains to indie games. Has it been a good year for indies? How did it stack up against previous years – especially the wall-to-wall hit machine that was 2023? And, putting personal preferences aside (because we'll be digging into that in-depth in our next episode, don't worry) what have been the biggest indie games of the year? Naturally expect Balatro, 1000xRESIST, Hades 2, and Pacific Drive to get a lot of airtime in this one, as well as Silksong (still conspicuous in its absence as we head into 2025). We also look back over our most-anticipated games from the start of the year, checking in with what came out, what got delayed, and what landed unexpectedly (or not) from a list that included Anger Foot, Creepshow, Crow Country, Demonschool, Europa, Loco Motive, Lost Records, The Mermaid Mask (née The Mermaid's Tongue), Rise of the Golden Idol, Sucker for Love 2, Synergy, Thank Goodness You're Here!, and Tiny Bookshop. And then – just in case you thought we were going to be if anything a bit too sensible in this one – an old friend returns to deliver a self-indulgent quiz! There's really no point in outlining the premise here, just trust us when we say that it has to be heard to be believed. We end, as always, with our current hyperfixations! Rebecca has been defying gravity thanks to the Wicked movie, Rachel has been reading a stack of queer fiction (specifically Julia Armfield's Salt Slow, Eliza Clark's She's Always Hungry and Rachel Yoder's Nightbitch), while Liam has turned his attention to the skies - and the places it leads - with Mark Vanhoenacker's Imagine A City.

Starring Daniel Craig as William Lee (a Burroughs stand-in), this movie left both Megan and Dave a little bewildered, as there were things they liked (the shooting-up scene, the color palette), and things they didn't like (Drew Starkey's performance as Lee's love interest). Then Evan joins in for FLOW (22:38) an excellent animated film featuring a very cat-like cat and other animals as they survive a catastrophic flood. Finally there's NIGHTBITCH (39:53).

In addition to looking at the creative processes of a number of authors - examining their first and final drafts, the changes they made, and their thinking behind the process—we'll go over the basics of line editing. At the end of the lecture, you'll have some revision techniques to try out with your own writing as well as a better understanding of what works for your own creative process.

And if I wasn't going to write it, I was going to scream it or I was gonna dig it, or something. I mean seriously, that's where I was when I was writing this” - Rachel Yoder.An ode to the all-consuming and sometimes feral experience of motherhood, Rachel Yoder's debut novel Nightbitch tells the story of a new mother who begins turning into a dog at night. Chronicling the joy, mundanity and instability of modern motherhood, Nightbitch drew international acclaim, cementing Yoder as one of America's most exciting contemporary novelists and luring the attention of Hollywood, with a film adaption starring Amy Adams currently in production. For her first ever conversation event in Australia, Yoder joined Australian author Kate Mildenhall (The Mother Fault) to discuss the strangeness of motherhood, the challenges new parents often confront to retain a sense of self, and the many complexities involved in depicting the fullness of the mothering experience in fiction.This event was recorded on Friday, 3 March 2023 at the Wheeler Centre as part of M/OTHER: a weekend of fearless conversation about the ways ‘motherhood' is experienced, portrayed and labelled by those who mother, have been mothered, wish they were mothers, do not identify as mothers, cannot or do not want to mother, and by society at-large.

My first guest for this series is Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch- a novel published last year in 2021. Although it's categorized as fiction, I would argue it's more a cross-genre piece that is part auto-fiction, part science-fiction. The protagonist in the book is an artist and stay-at-home mom who turns into a dog (yes, you read it right). This is one of the most bizarre and imaginative books I've read in a long time. It's dark, funny, weird and wild. It's magical. It's provocative. It's an easy read to devour yet a difficult read to digest. This is a very special episode- not only because it's the first of this series, but also because I'm joined by a co-host for the first time. Her name is Elizabeth Polanco, a writer, editor based in Toronto. When Elizabeth isn't writing or editing, she works at one of the most beloved vintage shops- Mama Loves You. Elizabeth was the one introduced me to Nightbitch. So I thought it would be interesting to invite her to join me on this conversation as I was curious to hear about her reading experience considering she isn't a mother herself.

Chaired by Tali Lavi. Rachel Yoder's Nightbitch is one of the wildest debuts of the year, a feral, often hilarious take on the impact of new motherhood, as a resentful, flailing woman finds herself transforming into a dog. The monstrousness of mothers takes a more sombre form in Briohny Doyle's Echolalia, in which a young mother's alienation from her family and the shrinking world she inhabits lead to a psychological disintegration that matches that of the scorching world outside.

The sisters attempt to reframe sleepless nights — a problem which comes from a listener. They both agree it's a hard one especially given that Nat hasn't had a full night's sleep in eight years. Bec asks if sleeplessness could be reframed for new mothers as doing hard things? Like the cold plunge from the spa — a good shock to the body's system?They discuss how the constraints imposed through sleepless nights could lead to generating…something! For Nat it led to the writing of a PhD! Why not write down the wild and awesome thoughts that come in the middle of the night?Bec reads an excerpt from Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder. They discuss finding some companions who are experiencing the same thing. They ponder the transformations that mothers go through; maybe “nightbitch” is one such iteration.They discuss the need to stay open to wherever community comes, and painfully for Bec it might not be another soulmate mother.
