Live from Zibby Retreat: Tommy Tomlinson, DOGLAND: Passion, Glory, and Lots of Slobber at the Westminster Dog Show + THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: One Fat Man’s Quest to Get Smaller in a Growing America

In this special episode (a live recording at Zibby’s Asheville Retreat!!), Zibby interviews Pulitzer Prize-finalist Tommy Tomlinson about his new book, DOGLAND, and his previous memoir, THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. First, Tommy shares insights into the connection between humans and dogs (through the lens of the Westminster Dog Show) and discusses themes of bonding and companionship. Then, he talks about his memoir, which tells the story of his life as an overweight man in America. He offers raw and vulnerable reflections on his addiction and subsequent health problems, the broader societal factors contributing to this epidemic, and how it has impacted him and the people he loves.
