 Some mornings you grapple with the alarm, and after a few unfocused moments you ask yourself: What’s going on today? Who will I see? What decisions will I make? And as you roll out of bed that adds up to: Who am I today? Multiply all that by the billions of people who lurched awake and asked themselves the same things and you’ll have a bigger question: Who the hell are we? Authors Melanie Benjamin and Edward Kelsey Moore take on the bigger questions (in tasty, bite-sized episodes) with their recently launched podcast, Who The Hell Are We? And they liven up the conversation with entertaining stories, references to good books (plus frequent cocktails).

Melanie and Ed discuss these most-often-repeated words of advice for authors. PLUS Ed's dramatic bus ride to the Great Wall of China! (51 minutes) In Indianapolis Death Tour Ed and Melanie discuss an excellent book by an AIDS epidemic survivor and talk about their experiences, including some blast-from-the-past details of the wild 1980s in Indianapolis (ever heard of strip club star “Chesty” Morgan?).
