Adapt Me Podcast

Grab your money and passports and search for your missing loved one because guest Alex Aaron from the 180 Rule podcast and I talk about how we would adapt "The Riders" by Tim Winton into a feature length film. We ponder if it could've been made in the 1990s or the 2000s as well as how to streamline it without sacrificing its wandering and dream-like spirit.

Grab your semaa and study up on chemistry and Ojibwe culture because guest Alyson Wick and I discuss how we would adapt "Firekeeper's Daughter" by Angeline Boulley! We talk about how to honor its spirit both with tone and representation. I even reveal the latest developments of the Netflix adaptation. Also, I kept mixing up the Hulu show "Reservation Dogs" with "Reservoir Dogs." I blame Quentin Tarentino, but in all do seriousness, go watch "Reservation Dogs!" It's great!

Grab your microphones and set the facts straight because guest Collette McLafferty and I discuss about adapting her memoir "Confessions of a Bad, Ugly Singer." We talk about the sheer insanity that she went through when she got sued for $10 million by a stranger while singing for a P!NK tribute band and how she wanted that absurdity to be reflected in the adaptation. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
