“Lissa Soep is an audio producer, editor and author whose latest book is Other People’s Words: Friendship, Loss, and the Conversations That Never End.

“In Other People’s Words: Friendship, Loss, and the Conversations that Never End, Lissa Soep considers the ghosts in our language. Her intimate and emotional memoir details her experiences with grief following the deaths of two close friends. One friend, Jonnie, died suddenly and accidentally, leaving a family behind, whereas the other, Christine, passed after a long battle with illness and a messy breakup. Using writings and concepts from Mikhail Bakhtin, a Russian philosopher and critic, as well as anecdotes from his interactions with others in his academic circle, Soep considers the ways our loved ones stick around after they die, and the way our words never truly belong to us.”

 

A friend recommended the podcast. It’s not fitness related, but it’s friendship and well being related. We’ve both been dealing with loss and thinking about fit,  feminist Catherine Hundleby, who we’ve been missing.
