some kinda woman podcast
Stories help us make sense of our world. Across all cultures, the powerful exchange between the teller and the listener is something we are tuned into even as infants. Sharing my work through stories and giving women a voice – these are things that make my life meaningful.
With this podcast series, I share many of the stories I’ve gathered, written and performed onstage in my international touring. You can tune in to hear a new voice; a different story; another woman at a pivotal point in her life, as she shares a moment that changes her.
The series features a variety of first-person character stories in a number of episodes: Mother Love, Next of Kin, Six Palm Trees, The Trouble of Christmas, The Life We Lived, One Man’s Family, Kennedy Girl and Singing the Bones.
CAITLIN HICKS, AUTHOR / PLAYWRIGHT / ACTOR
“My life and work have been profoundly affected by the central circumstance of my existence: I was born into a very large military Catholic family in the United States of America. As a child surrounded by many others, I wrote, performed and directed family plays with my numerous brothers and sisters.”
Caitlin Hicks is an international playwright, acclaimed performer and prize-winning author in British Columbia, Canada. A natural talent, Hicks learned to be onstage entertaining her enormous Catholic family with home-made skits and dramas. Her passion to perform onstage was fueled by an early need to be heard above the din of so many other voices.
While A Theory of Expanded Love is her debut novel (2015) , Hicks has published several short stories and worked as a writer for CBS and NBC radio, and performed fiction and non-fiction for Canadian Broadcasting Company’s national radio. Her writing has been published in The San Francisco Chronicle, The Vancouver Sun, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Fiddlehead Magazine, Knight Literary Journal and other publications.
