The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 104 | Kristen Arnett

This is Episode 104 and our guest is Kristen Arnett. Kristen is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Mostly Dead Things and her most recent book With Teeth. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Guernica, McSweeneys, and many more. 

Kristen has been on my dream guest list since the day I finished Mostly Dead Things and I am so honored to bring y’all this conversation. 

I asked Kristen if she had any Florida-related musicians in mind for this episode. She said she was a fan of Orlando-based Tierney Tough and The Pauses. The music you are hearing in this episode is the new single by Tierney Tough. The song is called “Apartment 54” and you can find it on Tierney’s new EP A Farce to Reckon With. Go get a physical copy at tierneytough.bandcamp.com.
