Episode #49
Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Massie: Hey, Lisi and Ellen, do you work at air traffic control?
Lisi & Ellen: No, why?
Massie: Because you just landed a big one!
It’s true. They did!
Give a warm GLU welcome to author Daniel Kraus—the 2026 Pulitzer Prize winner for his novel, Angel Down.
(break for applause)
Sure, the episode touches on Daniel’s award-winning masterpiece, the film adaptation of his Bestselling novel Whalefall, starring Josh Brolin, and Graveyard Girls, the 5-book series he wrote with Lisi.
But they’re not going to dwell on the specifics. That’s what Google is for. This episode is about what happens when you finally get the thing you’ve been dreaming of. The date, the engagement, the job, the baby, the house, and, in Daniel’s case, the Pulitzer Prize. Is life really better? Can we actually “die happy”? Is achieving the dream a finish line or simply a new starting line?
Listen and learn.
They also discuss the surprising similarities between psychological horror and female friendship. And, most importantly, Daniel’s obsession with Sex and the City.
DK will also answer questions from the GLUs, make a Mean Girl Amends, and share his Current State of the Union (sort of).
This Guy Like Us is a true prize.
Enjoy!
Lisi & Ellen
