The Shift is a podcast that aims to tell the truth about being a woman post-40, created and hosted by writer and broadcaster, Sam Baker.

Did you ever wonder why you stop hearing so many women’s voices once they pass 40? That’s where The Shift comes in – a frank, funny, sometimes heartbreaking, always honest look at what it means to be a woman in midlife and beyond. Work, life, love, health, sex, money, identity, body image… What does it all mean when everything around you (and inside you…) is changing? Each week, award-winning author and journalist Sam Baker asks a different woman how she got here, where she’s going – and how it feels to be where she is right now. Expect intimate conversation, big laughs, occasional tears and an awful lot of ripping up the rule book and stamping on it… Past guests have included Nicola Sturgeon, Marian Keyes, Guilty Feminist Deborah Frances-White, Minnie Driver, Philippa Perry, Anita Rani, Tracey Thorn, Isabel Allende, Bobbi Brown, Barbara Blake-Hannah and many more, talking everything from confidence to career reinvention, mental health, menopause and so much more.

My guest is Eric Nguyen, author of the novel, THINGS WE LOST TO THE WATER. With his debut novel, Nguyen tells the story of a Vietnamese immigrant family who struggle to adjust to their new lives after settling in New Orleans. THINGS WE LOST TO THE WATER Provides three points of view on their emotional journey: The mother, who still longs for the husband who chose to stay in Vietnam, the son who was five years old when they left and finds himself caught between the past and the present, and the youngest son who was born in a refugee camp after their escape, and is most at home in their adopted homeland. Covering over 25 years of their lives all the way to Hurricane Katrina, THINGS WE LOST TO THE WATER deftly portrays the challenges of a family staying emotionally tied as each member follows their own path in search of a new identity.

Eric Nguyen earned an MFA in Creative Writing from McNeese State University in Louisiana. He is the editor in chief of diaCRITICS.org. THINGS WE LOST TO THE WATERis his first novel.
