Episode 61: Robin "R.D." Kardon

Author, former pilot, and one-time lawyer Robin "R.D." Kardon has carved a writing path out of passion and a strong ability to adapt and change.

In this episode of The Written Scene, Robin talks about the mental health of pilots, what an angel flight is and why it's so important, how she's always been a writer in a family of storytellers, growing up with Walter Cronkite, what flying taught her about writing, the importance of getting the technical details right and interesting in a story, when sometimes an audience just isn't your audience, how what's popular and sells isn't always the best writing, why it's easier for her to write in multiple 3rd person, the joy of empowering readers, and much more.
