episode Through Their Eyes with Nancy Collander artwork

Through Their Eyes with Nancy Collander

Nancy Collander’s lifetime with animals frames the way she sees the world. Dogs are her teachers, providing her a unique outlook on life and amplifying her wry sense of humor. A lifetime of dog adoption and rescue provided the framework for Nancy’s first book, Through Their Eyes; Reflections on joy, loss, and learning. Twenty-seven years on a small farm in Central Ohio inspired Short Notes from a Small Farm, an as yet unpublished series of short stories about a city girl’s life in the country. Nancy's short story, Foal Watch, placed first in the Westerville, Ohio, “Celebrate the Arts Writing Contest” in 2021. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Nancy’s creative writing spark was kindled at Ohio Dominican College where she earned her Bachelor of Arts. Nancy now resides in Michigan. You can find Nancy's book through her website here [https://www.nancycollander.com/].  I’m Samantha Perkins and this is Why You Write That?!?!?  This podcast is for anyone who wonders what authors were thinking when they shared that really detailed secret or their most embarrassing moment.  For writers, future writers, readers, and those who love words Join me as I interview authors and writers to uncover the truth behind why they share all the of those cringey details and what it feels like to air it all!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
