IHEARTRADIO: AUTHOR JESS GIBSON + ACTOR & MUSICIAN NICK FRADIANI
On the Saturday May 16, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Jess Gibson. She is a Canadian-born writer (daughter of Margaret Atwood and the late Graeme Gibson), art historian with a Yale PhD, who has lived all over the world. Her first book “The Good Eye” is already generating buzz as a sharp, original, and “bewitching” debut. The stories explore themes like perception vs. reality, the limits of what we “see,” betrayal, revenge, and everyday life tilting into the strange or magical.
Then, we get to know Nick Fradiani. He rose to national fame in 2015 as the winner of Season 14 of American Idol. His debut album Hurricane featured the hit single “Beautiful Life,” and he has since built a thriving independent career with albums like Past My Past, multiple tours, and heartfelt original music. He is currently bringing Neil Diamond to life in A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical, now playing at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto until June 7. See Mirvish.com for more details.
