About this episode

Award-winning content creators, husband and wife team & hosts of the podcast 'Lifewriting: Write for Your Life!' Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due chop it up with the team. In the JOB FAIR, they discuss their individual journeys and how to separate love from work and the art of collaboration. Steven, a New York Times bestselling, Hugo Award-nominated author, shares an outstanding SCAM OF THE WEEK on how he sought revenge on a TV producer by sneaking a line about oral sex onto network TV. In WORST & FIRST, Tananarive takes us through her humble beginnings as a teenage journalist before ascending to an award-winning author who teaches Black horror and Afrofuturism at UCLA to executive producer on Shudder's groundbreaking documentary 'Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror.' @ROD4SHORT explains wolves in northern MN aren't doing their jobs and which alcohol is "Family Court Liquor?"
