  • Elizabeth Day is Super Smart

    Elizabeth Day is Super Smart
    Feb 26 2026

    I’m hooked. Somehow, I’d never read Elizabeth Day’s books until her latest, One of Us, a smart look at relationships, cancel culture, and more. I enjoyed her writing so much that I ordered her backlist. Elizabeth hosts the popular podcast “How to Fail.” In this book, she absolutely hasn’t. We connected as writers named Elizabeth who started podcasts on a whim post-divorce and grew a following. It was a really fun conversation.

  • Norah O’Donnell Writes The Ultimate Guide to American Women in U.S. History

    Norah O’Donnell Writes The Ultimate Guide to American Women in U.S. History
    Feb 25 2026

    Who knew?!! Well, apparently, senior correspondent for CBS News Norah O’Donnell did. In her book, We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America, the stories of many unknown — and some well-known — are brought to the surface. The story of the U.S. is reshaped through what she uncovered. Written with Kate Anderson Brower, who joined us for the episode, Norah and WE THE WOMEN will change the way you think about the past — and the future. P.S. Norah is good friends with my college fave, Sarah (Ogilvie) Saint-Amand. Hi Sarah!

  • Art, Family, Escape and Reinvention in Saoirse with Charleen Hurtubise

    Art, Family, Escape and Reinvention in Saoirse with Charleen Hurtubise
    Feb 24 2026

    Author Charleen Hurtubise paints a picture of a woman reinvented. We meet Saoirse on an airplane, faking her identity with a friend’s passport, on her way to start over entirely overseas. Why? You’ll find out. Art plays a central role in Saoirse’s new life — and in her unraveling. Does her husband know? You’ll find out. (Note: We had some technical issues during this episode, but we’ve edited them so you’ll never know. It is a bit shorter than usual as a result.)
