I Wanted to Write the Book: A Conversation with Ben Tanzer

Christine Eberle

Ben was the publicist for my first two books, so we’ve been chatting about writing, passion projects, evolving career paths, and life/work balance for more than seven years now. I’m delighted to call him a friend.

Every time one of my books enters the world, Ben celebrates by hosting me on “This Podcast Will Change Your Life.” In 2018 he titled our conversation The Power of Stories; in 2022, it was A Whole Life.

Dip into our latest delightfully meandering conversation—aptly titled I Wanted to Write the Book—and see if the third time really is the charm.

Pilgrim’s Progress

Christine Eberle

I’m grateful to my Jesuit Media Lab friend Alli Bobzien for pitching and writing this beautiful review of Finding God Along the Way, which just posted in Today’s American Catholic. I’ve never had a book reviewed before! Two others may be pending, but props to Alli for being first across the finish line.

You can read more of her wonderful writing at The Pondering Heart.

Join my Conversation with Leah Jones of Finding Favorites

Christine Eberle

This is my second time as a guest on Finding Favorites (here’s the first), and I must say that Leah Jones is a fabulous interviewer, for two reasons you’ll discover when you listen:

1) She walks me through the whole pilgrimage (no pun intended), asking great questions about the logistical and emotional aspects of our month-long adventure. I did not have any of those questions in advance, but quickly realized I could count on Leah to take the lead, allowing me to be fully present. (A very pilgrim-y experience!)

2) She brings her whole self to the conversation, from her Jewish faith to her cancer diagnosis. Even though I’ve only spoken with Leah twice in my life, recording the podcast felt like sliding into a diner booth with an old friend, skipping the superficial chit-chat and diving right into what really matters.

So, slide on into that booth with us and enjoy!

P.S., While you’re on Finding Favorites, see who else Leah Jones has interviewed; the conversation with her former rabbi was quite delightful.)
