Anna Konkle: On PEN15 and Her New Memoir 'The Sane One'

It's a long overdue reunion this week as Becky is joined by her wildly talented friend Anna Konkle — Emmy-nominated writer, actor, and co-creator of the critically acclaimed and beloved series PEN15, for which Becky was lucky enough to be one of the producers.Anna looks back at the magical and complex experience of making PEN15, the behind-the-scenes reality of bringing such a singular show to life, and the wonderfully unexpected response to the show. Anna also shares what it was like connecting with PEN15 fans on her recent book tour for her debut memoir, The Sane One — a beautiful and deeply personal exploration of family dysfunction, deep connection, estrangement, and reconciliation — and how her mantra "no pressure, just purpose" informs her work and creative life (a phrase Becky would like sewn onto a pillow immediately, please and thank you).
