Cheryl Strayed is launching a new podcast in collaboration with The New York Times. The Wild author has reteamed with The Times to release Sugar Calling.
In the show, which premieres Friday evening, Strayed will share her wisdom (and that of her writer friends) with listeners. Each episode will feature Strayed on a call with one of her friends, talking about their worlds at this moment.
Her first guest is Lincoln in the Bardo author George Saunders. Strayed began offering advice in 2010 when she took over the "Dear Sugar" column for literary website The Rumpus.
She and "Dear Sugar’s" creator, Steve Almond, later teamed up to write a column, "The Sweet Spot," for NYT. It was accompanied by the Dear Sugars podcast, which was produced in.
