Where Did Rachel Deloache Williams Discuss Her Memoir Interviews?

I got sucked into this one the way I do with any juicy memoir backstory—two mugs of coffee, YouTube on in the background, and a tab open for every podcast app I could think of. From what I’ve followed, Rachel DeLoache Williams first put the Anna Sorokin episode front and center through her reporting and pieces with 'Vanity Fair', and after that the memoir-related interviews surfaced across a handful of familiar places: print outlets, big-name podcast shows, and morning TV segments. If you’re trying to pin down where she talked specifically about the interviews she conducted for her memoir, the places I usually check first are the big magazines and the longform interview pods, since that’s where writers unpack process and sources in depth.

As someone who compulsively bookmarks conversation pieces, I’ll give you a checklist that’s worked for me when tracking author interviews. Start with 'Vanity Fair' because that outlet was the origin point for the public drama she was involved in, and authors often do follow-up features or Q&As there. Then look for audio conversations on 'Fresh Air' (NPR) and on 'The New York Times' Book Review podcast—those platforms love to dig into how memoirs were assembled, who was interviewed, and how authors decided what to put in or leave out. Morning shows like 'Today' or 'CBS This Morning' sometimes run shorter, promotional interviews where an author will mention the biggest interviews they did for a book. For longer, candid chats, search podcast feeds like 'The Cut' podcast and independent interviewers on YouTube who post full-length sit-downs; those videos often have timestamps so you can jump right to the part about the memoir interviews.

If you want a practical route: type Rachel DeLoache Williams + "memoir interview" into a search engine, then filter by video or podcast for recorded conversations. Her social media profiles are another direct line—authors often post links to their recent interviews or embed clips from their appearances. Library and bookstore event listings can also help; sometimes writers read excerpts and then do a Q&A where they spell out who they interviewed and why. I’ve had luck finding transcripts on publication websites or via the podcast show notes—those notes frequently list the interview topics and links to full transcripts.

I’m still that person who saves the timestamped clips to rewatch the parts where writers talk about their research methods, so if you want, tell me whether you prefer longform audio or short TV clips and I’ll point you toward the best places to look first. Either way, there’s usually a neat little moment in these interviews where the author explains why a particular conversation made it into the book, and those are my favorite bits to re-listen to on lazy afternoons.
