So, I’ve jumped on the bandwagon and started a podcast with my sister.
It’s interesting to tell stories in a different format than my usual writing —
and it’s sort of fun to work with someone else who sees things very differently than I do.
This is what I’ve written up for it:
”What happens when your mother is a brilliant, unstoppable con artist, and you spend your childhood moving from one wild scheme to the next?
In Forever Wild, sisters Meagan McGovern and Nora Gibbs share the unbelievable true story of growing up with Maureen—a woman who could charm anyone, outrun the law, and spin the world into her own creation. From a mafia-run bar to a house full of strangers, from the high-stakes lights of a game show to an escape across the world, their childhood was anything but ordinary.
But Forever Wild is more than just a wild ride. It’s a story of resilience, survival, and the bonds that hold us together when everything else falls apart. Told with dark humor, deep reflection, and the kind of sibling banter that only comes from surviving chaos together, this eight-episode podcast is a gripping, emotional journey through the past—and a reckoning with what remains.”
If you have the time, I’d love for you to listen to one or two of the episodes we’ve posted, and I want to hear what you think. I want to get this right, and I want to know what’s working and what’s not.
It’s here on Substack, but you can get it on Spotify as well:

Thank you, as always, for taking the time to listen to my stories.
I have just started the 1st podcast. So fun hearing you and your sister tell these fascinating stories. One thing I have noticed is that I having a been having trouble with Nora’s vocal parts. It seems to be cutting in and out, and or fading in and out. As for the story, going well so far… can’t wait for more.
