Books That Changed My Life: Mike Drucker & Convenience Store Woman

In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins sits down with Emmy-nominated writer, producer, and comedian Mike Drucker—whose eclectic resume includes naming the iconic Zelda character Groose and getting "killed by the Terminator." He's also the author of Good Game, No Rematch, a deeply personal and sharply funny collection that blends video games with life’s hardest lessons.

Today, Mike opens up about the book Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata, which profoundly shifted his perspective. Together, Chris and Mike explore how Murata’s quietly radical novel resonated with Mike’s own feelings about identity, societal expectations, and finding comfort in unconventional spaces. With humor, insight, and a touch of existential dread, this episode dives into what it means to live authentically—even if that life doesn't follow the usual script.
