Plug Your Sexy Ears With My Podcast: “Misbehaving In Maine”

Now you, like me, can have my voice in your head all day long

I just unleashed my first podcast episode, and my expectations are so high they qualify as a degenerative disease.

Since hitting “Publish,” whenever I feel my phone purring flirtatiously in my pocket, I assume it’s Penguin Random House, Tom Cruise, Mensa, and The Avengers saying, “You’re in!” It’s also my Failures Anonymous group saying, “You’re out!”

Here’s how I did it.

ONE: I lived. Historically speaking, most people my age are dead (my Grampa’s joke).

TWO: I mistakenly wrote a book that was overqualified for publication, a book called “Misbehaving In Maine.” Thirty or so chapters about a death-wish childhood in the Pine Tree State.

Here are a few of its chapters:

• Chapter 2: The First And Last Time I Saw My Mother Dance
• Chapter 11: You Never Forget Your First F-Bomb
• Chapter 25: There’s More Than Sound And Fury In A Homemade Bomb: Sometimes, There’s Love
• Chapter 30: Teachers Have Emotions Too, And Pasts, And Were Once Young, And Can Feel Pain
