As a writer, I’ve always tried to make art out of chaos.
'Family Secrets' and the Art of the Podcast
Setup
How do family secrets shape and distort us? Will exposing them liberate us? Dani Shapiro dared to tell a newly discovered family secret in her best-selling memoir, "Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love" and then created the wildly popular podcast “Family Secrets,” to provide others a forum to tell their life-altering experiences. Shapiro reflects on her journey thus far, the power of the podcast, and gives us an exclusive first listen at Season 2. Presented in partnership with Aspen Words.
