In her debut novel, Nightbitch, Rachel Yoder captures motherhood's extreme highs and lows, telling the story of a mother struggling to cope with the social isolation and loss of her independent identity. That book is now a major motion picture starring Amy Adams, and on this Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe speaks with Yoder and director of the film Marielle Heller.
Then, Wade Fowler gained a following as the Millennial Stone Cleaner — a name under which he posts videos of himself restoring gravestones and telling the stories of the often long-forgotten deceased. He speaks with Nebbe about why he's drawn to this area of restoration and the emotions his work often evokes in his followers.
Guests:
- Marielle Heller, director of Nightbitch, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and more, screenwriter and actress
- Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch
- Wade Fowler, known as the Millenial Stone Cleaner
