Divided and Caged: An evening with CC Robinson (Ep. 177)

In this lively Thursday night episode from Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I sit down with CC Robinson—physician, public health leader, nonprofit founder, pastor, and author of the Divided dystopian series. We dig into her decade of medical and leadership work in post–civil war Sierra Leone, the grit it took to bring care to remote regions, and how those experiences shaped her storytelling. CC walks us through the Divided universe: a future America fractured along racial lines, young heroes fighting for freedom, and how real history and Cincinnati’s underground threads weave into her plots. We also explore her writing process—from a vivid 2012 dream to years of research—plus the upcoming Texas arc featuring an Independent Republic of Texas. Along the way, we swap stories on voice care, grounding in faith, preaching dynamics, and the push-pull between national unity and self-determination. CC offers listeners a free ebook of Upheaval, teases novellas (including a cartel-linked villain origin), and promises two new releases next year.
