Every book has a soundtrack—and every writer has a story behind the songs. On Plot Twist Radio, host Erin Egnatz sits down with authors, agents, actors, and musicians to explore the creative rhythms behind the writing process. From the playlists that fueled late-night chapters to the unexpected voices that inspired unforgettable characters, this podcast dives into the intersection of storytelling and music.

Whether it’s uncovering the songs that shaped a novel, the struggles (and hilarities) of the writing life, or the behind-the-scenes moments of publishing, each episode offers a candid, creative conversation. Think of it as pulling up a chair at the world’s most eclectic writer’s table—where prose meets playlists, and every guest has their own verse to share.

If you’re a writer, reader, or simply curious about how stories (and soundtracks) come to life, this podcast is for you.
