NEWSTALK 1010: IN DEPTH WITH Rachel Yoder + Terry Fallis + Ali Liebert!

This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast we meet Rachel Yoder, author of a new novel called “Nightbitch,” the story of a stay-at-home mom who becomes convinced she’s turning into a dog. The book is a best seller and has been optioned by Amy Adams to be turned into a film.

Then bestselling author Terry Fallis stops by to talk about the long-awaited follow-up to his chart-topping books “The Best Laid Plans” and “The High Road.” It’s called “Operation Angus,” and it’s a comic spy story that heralds the return of Angus McLintock.

And finally in the show we’ll meet Ali Liebert. She is a Canadian Screen Award winner for her work on “Bomb Girls” and can now be seen in “They Who Surround Us,” a poignant drama about a Ukrainian farmer living in Alberta who loses his wife in a tragic accident. It is getting great reviews and we’ll tell you all about it in just a few minutes.
