My first guest of 2026 is the author Emma Woodhouse. We talk about her novels on Mercy Newton and Mary Carr, and about her 2026 nonfiction book about Mary Carr.
I really was fascinated by Emma's book Mary Carr and the Forty Thieves gang. She brought these women alive in a way that goes beyond storytelling. Her empathy for them jumps off the pages.
