Trisha Blanchet is Smarter Than Us
the lovely Trisha Blanchet....
We were honored to have Trisha Blanchet as our first guest on Smarter Than Us! In our inaugural episode we talk about success, failure, friendship, never giving up and the most perfect cracker of them all ……the Triscuit.
Below is Trisha’s official bio, but I have some things to add. Trisha is the most loyal friend a person could have. She laughs easily, agrees often and shows up for you anytime, anywhere. I am so grateful that I was not mature enough to pass kindergarten the first go around or I would not have met this wonderful human.
T.M. Blanchet is the author of The Neath Trilogy: Herrick's End, Herrick's Lie, and Herrick's Key. She's also a former reporter, magazine editor, and award-winning humor columnist. In 2013, she founded the nonprofit organization Operation Delta Dog: Service Dogs for Veterans.
T.M. works as a producer at A Mighty Blaze, an initiative created in 2020 to help authors and indie bookstores reach readers during the Covid-19 crisis, and as the producer and host of A Mighty Blaze Podcast. A graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, she's also a proud member of the Tall Poppy Writers, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), and GrubStreet in Boston.
Here are links to Trisha’s work as an author and to the non profit she founded, Operation Delta Dog.
Fact Check - The size of a Triscuit was changed in 1935 not due to taste but to packaging requirements. Listen to the episode and this fact check will make more sense.
At the time of our recording we spoke about Ryder, Trisha’s beloved dog. As a postscript, we want to acknowldge his passing and wish Trisha and her family peace.
