Lindsay McCrae is here to talk about his year with the penguins in My Penguin Year: Life Among the Emperors (William Morrow, 2019).

We talk a lot about his eleven months in Antarctica and the grind that was. We learn about how he got into this line of work, of being a freelancer, and helping the penguins when they were in peril.

I hope I’ve made something worth sharing. I’ll be taking an indefinite leave of social media starting in 2020, so feel free to follow @CNFPod, but if I don’t respond, you know why. I’m not being rude. In fact, I want to keep in touch via email or via the newsletter. The newsletter is where it’s at, so please subscribe to that and the podcast. Duh.

Lindsay always wanted to write a book and he wrote a fine one here.

Thanks for listening and thanks to Bay Path University’s MFA in Creative Nonfiction Writing for the support.
