Breaking Big: Hosted by Carlos Watson, this PBS series features in-depth profiles of leaders in media, politics, music, food, and more as they explain their path to success. They're all fascinating, but we're especially excited for the episode with Bad Feminist writer Roxane Gay. "It seemed like an interesting opportunity to share information about my work," Gay tells us about the show.
More importantly, though, it's another way to connect with her readers. "Oftentimes people tell me that even though they have different stories, they still feel seen or heard or understood because of my work," she adds. "That is incredibly gratifying because writing is something that happens individually. You know, you're alone with your laptop or the page and you write and you write and you write and you hope that you write something useful and interesting and good. But you don't know. So when readers respond, it's always gratifying." See a sneak peek, below. 8:30 P.M. ET on PBS
