Moxie Press Podcast

Emergency Podcast

Today, Andrew and Jessie explain themselves (mainly why there isn't an Author Spotlight podcast, etc.) Don't worry, everything is great, we're just slowing things down a bit and re-calibrating because big things are ahead for both the business and our family.

Mark Salzwedel: Writer, Composer, Everything Else

We're kind of jealous of Mark Salzwedel. He's an incredible writer, a composer, an artist who grew up with an artistic childhood, and much more. As our first spotlight of 2025, he's the writer of a lovely little short sci-fi piece titled An Unexpected Cookie, of which you can hear him read an excerpt in this episode. Follow Mark in all the places and keep an eye out for his upcoming book, Time Bump.

Gina Tron: Journalist, Activist, Suspect

Gina Tron is a successful journalist, memoirist, and a suspected "would-be" school shooter in high school. She's seen it all, done it all, and shares so much and more with us on today's episode.

Aleksander Aleksander: Writer & Activist

Andrew sits down with writer Aleksander Aleksander to discuss their piece, "We're Fucking Hungry" and they run the gamut from food insecurity, to community-building, and beyond.  Note: This episode was recorded before the 2024 election, hence there being no mentioned of what happened, though this episode might accidentally allude to why.

EJ Ginger: Writer, Healthcare Provider

In this episode of the Moxie Press Podcast, Andrew speaks with writer EJ Ginger, whose piece, "Our Future," was selected as an October Spotlight. They dig into the serious nature of the piece, what inspired it, how writers need to love their own work, and why its so hard to have bedside manner as a doctor or healthcare provider these days.
