#439 - Justin Halpern's Story Behind Get Lost

Wife of the Party · Jul 9, 2026 · 1h 54m

Justin Halpern joins me to talk about his new mystery novel, Get Lost, and the winding path that led him to writing it. We discuss the inspiration behind the book, crafting a mystery, and why fiction gave him the freedom to tell a completely different kind of story. Justin also looks back on the viral success of Sh*t My Dad Says, how posting his dad's hilarious one-liners on Twitter changed his life, and the lasting impact his father has had on his writing and sense of humor.
