Readerly Empathy with Fiona Conway | 025

(Extra) Ordinary People

About

Fiona Conway (she/her) is a reader, writer, and medical school student. We started chatting on Instagram (Fiona has the best book recommendations - I have read a lot based on her reviews, and she never misses), discovered we have a whole bunch of real life mutual friends, and now I'm stoked to have her on the podcast! 

In this episode: the Dear Canada books, bookstagram, writing reviews, growing up in a military family, medical anthropology, developing characters, and doctors who interrupt you.
