Maile and Shawn talk about the fine line between hope and discouragement, whether or not it’s possible to choose genuine hope, and when giving up is the right thing to do. Also, Maile’s crush on Daniel Day-Lewis is explored (actually, we talk about his retirement from acting at age 60 and what it would be like to completely change what you do).

Winn Collier talks with us about what it was like to write the biography of Eugene Peterson, how he got the gig in the first place, and what it’s like, trying to capture the essence of a complex person’s life in a 300-page book. He also turns the tables on us, asking Maile if she prefers Shawn with a beard or without. It’s a hard-hitting interview.
