Episode 14 - Christina and Theo

Episode 14 - Christina and Theo

I’m back! And joined by my friends Theo and Christina for a fun, lively conversation about friendship, culture, and the stories that bring us together. We’re three friends from different backgrounds sharing laughs, honest moments, and a great time behind the mic.

Episode 13 - Unpacking The Secret History with Marta

In this special episode, I am joined by my good friend Marta, who traveled all the way from Latvia to help me dissect the dark, obsessive world of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. We’re stepping onto the snowy, elite campus of Hampden College to explore the lives of six Ancient Greek students who took their studies a little too literally. From the 'divine madness' of a ritual gone wrong in the Vermont woods to the cold-blooded murder of one of their own, we’re breaking down the 'why-dunnit' of the century. Grab a glass of grappa (or just a coffee), put on your favorite wool coat, and join us as we explore why this 30-year-old 'Secret History' is still haunting us today.

Episode 12 - Don’t call it a comeback!

It’s been 3 weeks since I have spoken or recorded anything because of one reason (which I talk about in this episode), I talk about priorities and breaks and my future plans. I am excited to come back and record something and to get back to reading. Email - dmshah93@gmail.com Check out my profile on Goodreads! - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/118434941
