About this listen

On this episode of Imposter Hour, Liz and Greg welcome novelist Rob Hart, author of The Medusa Protocol, for a conversation that spans action thrillers, fatherhood, recovery, and the emotional backbone of storytelling.

Rob opens up about his journey from journalism and politics to fiction, revealing how cinema, empathy, and vulnerability shape his work. They dig into the evolving portrayal of masculinity, what it means to write responsibly about addiction and recovery, and the fine line between commercial success and creative integrity.

Whether he’s building breakneck plots or teaching craft, Rob brings sharp insight, deep feeling, and surprising tenderness to everything he does. This episode is for anyone who believes great thrillers should break your heart as much as they break the rules.
