Podcast with Raisins

Sheila Heti is in Denver to teach, and to interview Rachel for The Paris Review. Guest appearance from her husband Siemon. Recorded June 10, 2019.

It's been only two and a half years since the last episode! Last night I walked to my friend Margaux Williamson's house. We talked outside her studio in the rain, and then inside her studio where the walls were covered with nearly-finished and recently finished paintings. We discuss the catalogue essay that Ben Lerner wrote for her recent show at the McMichael Gallery outside Toronto, and we talk about each other's defence mechanisms a bit. (When Margaux says "married," she means "in a committed relationship.") Recorded April 2022

Sheila can’t sleep. Recorded December 7, 2020.

After a five-year hiatus, my brother David and I have recorded a new episode. Well worth the five-year wait!! We discuss emailing, friendships, and family members. Recorded October 26, 2020.
