Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
In this episode of Hear Tell, Diana Keough talks with University of Georgia law professor and 2023 UGA MFA graduate Elizabeth Chamblee Burch about her new book, The Pain Brokers: How Con Men, Call Centers, and Rogue Doctors Fuel America’s Lawsuit Factory. Part investigative journalism and part legal exposé, The Pain Brokers takes readers inside the hidden world surrounding transvaginal mesh litigation — a sprawling system of telemarketers, mass tort lawyers, questionable medical practices, and billion-dollar settlements built around women searching for relief from chronic pain. Kirkus Reviews described Beth’s book as “a clarion call for reform and change.” In their conversation, Diana and Beth discuss how Beth organized such a large and complicated story, how she approached writing fairly about deeply flawed characters, and the care she took to preserve the dignity of the women at the center of the book — women whose suffering had already been exploited for profit. They also talk about the challenge of translating dense legal and medical material into narrative nonfiction that remains deeply human at its core. The Pain Brokers is available wherever books are sold. For more information about Elizabeth and her work, visit her website: https://www.elizabethchambleeburch.com/

John T. Edge
In this episode of Hear Tell, Diana Keough talks with author and University of Georgia MFA Distinguished Professor of Practice John T. Edge about his new memoir, House of Smoke. Known for helping shape the national conversation around Southern food and culture, Edge turns inward in this deeply personal book, examining the complicated inheritance of family, race, violence, memory, and Southern identity. Edge explains how he turned his house, hometown — and the South itself — into characters in his book: living, complicated presences that shape identity, memory, and the stories people tell themselves about who they are. He also reflects on reckoning with the stories we inherit, and the complicated work of loving a place enough to tell the truth about it. House of Smoke is available wherever books are sold.

Ann Hull and Laurie Hertzel

After nearly two decades as a national reporter for The Washington Post, Hull shifts from observer to subject, exploring her coming-of-age in rural central Florida—where her father worked in the citrus groves—and her journey toward understanding identity, family, and belonging.Together, Hertzel and Hull talk about the challenges of writing a memoir after a career in journalism, the tension between reporting and remembering, and what it means to tell the truth when the story is your own. They also explore how place shapes narrative, how silence can shape a life, and why some stories take decades to tell.This conversation offers a thoughtful look at craft, courage, and the complicated work of turning lived experience into story.Here is a link to purchase Ann Hull’s memoir, Through the Groves.
