BACKFENCE Unhinged: Brianna Wheeler

EPISODE 25: Brianna Wheeler

Buckle in tight and let your legs dangle, you’re about to hear a true story from author Brianna Wheeler. She’ll drop you in the middle of a sweaty August night toppling with more of the funny, tender messiness of being human than a notebook of an 80 year old therapist. 

Brianna is an author, illustrator, arts and culture journalist and live storyteller in Portland, Oregon. Her debut book, Altogether Different: A memoir about identity, inheritance, and the raid that started the civil war is available in bookstores nationwide. 

BACKFENCE Unhinged is a unique and delightful twist on the storytelling podcast where hosts Andrew and Frayn invite a storyteller on to share an unhinged true story. Then comes the second unhinged part—they dig in and ask questions to get into the behind-the-scenes dirt—finding intersections with some of their own personal anecdotes.

This episode was edited and produced by Julia Oppenheimer. With music created by musician and frontman for Lost Lander, Matt Sheehy. Frayn Masters is executive producer. Frayn Masters & Andrew Dickson are co-hosts and co-creators. The show was recorded at XRAY.fm—find them online or 91.1 or 107.1.
