About the episode

Ashley C. Ford is a writer and podcast host. Her memoir, Somebody's Daughter, is forthcoming from Flatiron Books. “For the first time I felt like I had so many more choices in my life than I originally thought I had. That was my first realization that I did not just have to react to the world, that I could be intentional in the world, and just curious about what came back to me.” Thanks to Mailchimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode. @iSmashFizzle ashleycford.net Fortune Favors the Bold [5:00] "Roger Loves Chaz" (Roger Ebert • Sep 2012) [11:34] The Giver (Lois Lowry • Houghton Mifflin • 1993) [17:47] Ford's commencement speech at Ball State [26:09] Ford's archive at Buzzfeed [41:00] "Ashley C.
