Constance Wu on MAKING A SCENE

from Poured Over

"I was always in a play, always in rehearsals. And if I wasn't in a play, I was counting the hours 'til I could be in a play. Because it was the first time I felt a sense of belonging, a sense of community." In Making a Scene, actress Constance Wu (Lyle, Lyle Crocodile) takes readers backstage in her own life in often hilarious — and always real and relatable — essays. She joins us on the show to talk about authenticity and big emotions, love, her big break (and what happened next), her literary inspirations including Elena Ferrante and Lily King, and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Becky. Featured Books (Episode): Making a Scene by Constance Wu Writers & Lovers by Lily King Five Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante Featured Books (TBR Topoff) Hello, Molly! by Molly Shannon All the Women in My Brain by Betty Gilpin Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
