Erica came on the show back in 2017 (I shudder to think of the audio) and it’s worth revisiting, and it’s nice that nearly six years later her work has evolved so greatly that we now get to talk about her magnificent book.
She’s so damn cool and her style of drawing and writing is so fun and whimsical. I think you’re gonna dig her.
We talk about:
Her childhood growing up in Columbia
Fear and anxiety
Ira Glass and the creative gap (video below)
Developing along with her audience
And how drawing can alleviate your anxieties

Eva Holland returns to the show after a long, long absence.
In this episode, you’ll hear some of the advanced advice she knows and wants to know regarding freelancing, the nexus of memoir and deep reportage, participatory antics, and overcoming the imposter syndrome of stepping out of her comfort zone.
I’m hesitant to include or first interview because it is a rough production. Eva was great. Me on the other hand …
“I knew right away I would be writing about my mom’s death. I knew that immediately,” Eva told me, and that was what triggered a years’ long journey into fear and her relationship to it.
