Existential Family Secrets

Join Tim and LeeAnna for Alchemy... the podcast from Effigy Press where we fully lean into the glorious chaos of life. Whether you’re a fiction writer trying to make sense of your mess of a manuscript, or just someone who enjoys watching the world burn from a safe distance and needs some fresh material for your next cocktail party disaster, we’ve got you covered. Today, our podcasters dive headfirst into the delightful mess that is Existential Family Secrets—because nothing says 'fun' like realizing your relatives are full of surprises (none of them good). Writers, prepare to think way outside the box. Non-writers, buckle up anyway—it’s bound to be pure madness. Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve shielded you from the delightful experience of ads for some bizarre, made-up disease that sounds like it’s straight out of a sci-fi novel. You’re welcome—because we care about your well-being (and not sending you spiraling into hypochondria). And if one of those ads slips through, I swear we didn’t greenlight it. Just blame it on the algorithm’s questionable medical degree. Links Read The Snark’s review of this podcast here. Writers’ prompts for this podcast are here. Submission page for Effigy Press here.
