On paper, Maureen Boland and Pat Cooper might seem like unlikely friends. They come from very different backgrounds and have had totally disparate life experiences. Maureen was Pat’s high school teacher years ago. But as deeply curious people, interested in complex matters of the heart and mind, they’ve found many threads of connection between them.
In our final episode of this season, Pat talks to Maureen about growing up in North Philadelphia, his spiritual awakenings, fatherhood and writing. The two also reflect on some of the podcast stories that resonated with him.
The Mighty Writers Podcast with Maureen Boland is produced by Mighty Writers in partnership with Rowhome Productions. The executive producer is Tim Whitaker. Lead producer is Sojourner Ahebee. Rowhome’s executive producers are Alex Lewis and John Myers.
Our theme song was composed by Jim Morgan.
This episode also includes music from Blue Dot Sessions.
