Satellite Sisters "You're the Best" Interview with Nick Hornby

To celebrate the publication of our Satellite Sisters book "You're the Best", we are releasing a series of our favorite Satellite Sisters interviews over the years. Today we bring you novelist and Academy Award nominee Nick Hornby. Hornby's been nominated for adapting the screenplays for An Education (2009) and this year's acclaimed Brooklyn from the novel by Colm Toibin (2015). He also adapted Cheryl Strayed's novel Wild for Reese Witherspoon. His new novel at the time Lian and Sheila interviewed him was A Long Way Down. Lian discusses Nick's autistic son Danny and how that impacts his feelings about fatherhood. They also talk about the movies made from his books including High Fidelity About A Boy and Fever Pitch. Sheila jumps and asks Nick if he has any single friends in Los Angeles that she could date. Sadly, he says his pals are undateable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're your hosts, Marcus and Jessa Myer - a husband-and-wife team passionate about pursuing and telling the Truth. The more we study Scripture, the more we experience the ever-growing joy and pleasure found only in Jesus. We’ve been doing ministry together for the past 15 years, and one thing we’ve seen over and over again is that so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are desperately hungry for a deeper teaching of God’s Word. In each episode, we explore theology, doctrine, and practical wisdom that every believer should have the confidence to pursue. Join us as we uncover essential truths from Scripture and tackle difficult, sometimes controversial questions to provide you with biblical answers. Where the Enemy wants to keep the Church in a place of shallow faith and theological insecurity, our hope is that these conversations will equip you with boldness and assurance!
