Journalist and pocaster Oriana Schwindt on the Spice Girls, Dispatch, Radical Face, Stephen Sondheim, and Billy Bragg and Wilco.
Oriana Schwindt is one of those former
journalists-turned-screenwriters. She lives in Los Angeles now, but is pretty
sure it’s just a phase. She’s a co-host on Megaphonic’s own By-the-Bywater Tolkien podcast and is
considering reviving her old podcast about grift in America, called, uh…
American Grift.
Oriana and Michael talk about imagination, the persistence of trauma, learning
to be vulnerable, giant trees, and visiting the geographical centre of all
fifty American states.
