Show Notes
Zibby speaks to author, screenwriter, and repeat MDHTTRB guest Laura Hankin about The Daydreams, a deliciously entertaining novel about the stars of an early 2000s TV show who implode spectacularly on live TV–and the reunion special, thirteen years later, that could destroy or redeem them. Laura shares her sources of inspiration: nostalgia for early 2000s pop culture, the rise of the #FreeBritney movement, and an interest in how damaging fame can be for child stars and young women. She also talks about her own brush with fame, nepo babies, the topic of her next book, and her best advice for aspiring writers.
