Broads And Books

This week, our picks are from formidable multi-talents. Whether they're lawyers, psychiatrists, economists, musicians, or actors in their day jobs, these over-achievers decided to add "author" or "director" to their accolades. The results are glorious. And also make us feel inadequate. Also in this episode, Amy and Erin reveal their side talents (and failings), wonder how they can get a pair of big scissors for ribbon-cutting (and Christmas gift unwrapping), and praise our listeners to all who will hear. One of our amazing listeners, Adam, is responsible for this wonderful episode. He wanted to hear about one-hit wonders. We took it further: these are the people we're confident are NOT one-hit wonders! _____________Our picks this week: Fiction Books:Amy: Gather the Daughters, Jennie MelamedErin:  Miracle Creek, Angie KimOther Books:Amy: Girl in a Band, Kim Gordon (Memoir)Erin: Freakonomics, Steven D.
