The Outcome

What your audience leaves with

Not a lecture they'll forget by the parking lot.

01

A new way to look at ordinary assumptions

Ideas like freedom, safety, success, and belonging, seen from a side they hadn't considered.

02

Questions they keep discussing afterward

The conversation follows them out of the room, into class, the office, and the car ride home.

03

Permission to disagree without ending the conversation

A room that practices hearing each other out, even when people see it differently.

04

An experience, not a lecture

Story, poetry, humor, and participation. The audience is part of what happens.

Olga Foreign, author, poet, and podcast host
About Olga Foreign™

The voice behind the question

Olga Foreign™ is an Albuquerque-based author, poet, and host of Who Yelling Now? Her work examines the assumptions hidden inside ordinary language and everyday life, and her catalog spans poetry, fiction, children's books, and social satire.

On stage, her strength isn't delivering a fixed answer. It's creating the kind of question an audience keeps discussing after the event ends.

Three Bookable Programs

Choose an experience, or ask Olga to build one around your theme

Every program can be adapted to your audience and your time slot.

01

The Olga Foreign™ Experiment

Give Me Something You Believe

Your audience hands Olga a belief everyone accepts: a phrase, a rule, an assumption. She turns it over live, using questions, story, humor, and poetry, until the room sees a side nobody walked in with. No two Experiments are the same, because the audience writes the material.

Best for
Universities and colleges, conferences, corporate retreats, leadership and team sessions
Format
60–90 minutes, interactive throughout. A 45-minute version is available for class and conference slots.
★ Your audience can submit beliefs before Olga arrives.

02

Who Yelling Now? LIVE

Bring the podcast to your city

Your venue becomes the stage for a live episode. Olga opens with one provocative question, follows it with an original short story and poetry, then hands the floor to your audience. Their voices become part of the conversation.

Best for
Literary festivals, cultural centers, universities, libraries, spoken-word and evening events
Format
90 minutes: a 60-minute live episode plus 30 minutes of audience conversation. Can be tailored to your organization's theme.
Host a Live Episode
03

From One Book to a Literary Universe

Independent creativity in motion

A candid look at writing, publishing, and creative discipline from an author who started publishing later in life and kept going. Olga covers what worked, what failed, and what it takes to build a body of work on your own terms.

Best for
Libraries, writers' groups, schools, book festivals, creative and entrepreneurship programs
Format
A 60-minute talk with Q&A, or 90 minutes with a hands-on writing and publishing workshop.
