Over Yonder with Sean Dietrich

Oct 7, 2025 | The Professional Noticer

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy hosts Sean Dietrich—“Sean of the South”—author, musician, humorist, and frequent Grand Ole Opry guest.

Tune in to hear Sean share stories behind “Over Yonder”—a tender, funny tale of “found family” set on Alabama’s Gulf Coast. Listen as he and Andy talk about the unlikely duo at the heart of the story, why Sean writes about places as if they’re characters, and how his outline-free process keeps each book full of surprises. Hear him also share a few audiobook mishaps, uncanny Opry moments, and a peanut-butter-Kong lesson from his blind dog Marigold that remind him to keep humility—and joy—at the center of it all.

Sean’s brand-new novel “Over Yonder” is officially out today! This heartfelt Southern tale is filled with humor, redemption, and characters you won’t forget. Don’t wait—be among the very first to read it. Order your copy on Amazon right now and start the adventure! https://amzn.to/4h6COfO
