If you’re a Marginalia listener, you know that this podcast features interviews with authors of the newest releases in publishing. When I first learned about The Ex Talk, it was described as a novel set in public radio. My worlds collided and I believe my reaction was, “yes please.”
The Ex Talk is a romantic comedy set in the Pacific Northwest. A producer clashes with her fresh out of J-School colleague. A concept for a new show is approved—where two exes deliver relationship advice live, on air. Since these co-workers dislike each other so intensely, they are deemed the perfect co-hosts. As the show gets bigger, so does their deception.
I recently spoke with Rachel Lynn Solomon about The Ex Talk… both the fictional radio show and the novel. Here’s our conversation.
