Episode 280 - "American Fantasy" Author Emma Straub

What this episode covers

New York Times bestselling author Emma Straub and I have a light hearted conversation about her latest novel, "American Fantasy". Inspired by her experience on the 2023 New Kids On The Block cruise, a trip the two of us both went on. Her focus was not only on the boyband, but the fans that adore them, and all the unique personalities that make up a fandom. The costumes, group photo day, Joey McIntyre's support, and how the book is centered around a fictional boyband. It's a very special story, and how have the fans reacted to the book so far?
