The Ex Talk
Author: Rachel Lynn Solomon
Since Shay Goldstein has been working as a producer at her local public radio station in Seattle for almost ten years, she is unable to picture doing anything else. But lately, she and Dominic Yun, her newest coworker who recently graduated from a journalism master's degree and is adamant that he is an expert on public radio, have been at odds constantly.
When the faltering station needs a fresh idea, Shay suggests a show that her boss enthusiastically approves. Two ex-partners will provide live, in-studio relationship counseling on The Ex Talk. Given how much Shay and Dominic already dislike one another, their employer deems they make the ideal co-hosts. It's either this or being unemployed, while neither like the concept of lying to listeners. The Ex Talk quickly establishes itself as a must-listen in Seattle and rises the podcast charts as their following quickly becomes involved.
Their lie becomes more obvious as the show grows, particularly when Shay and Dominic begin to develop feelings for one another. Being exposed may be the end of more than just their jobs in a field where the truth is valued.
