    Are you a travel lover? How much do you think about the impact your travel has on the place you’re visiting while you’re visiting it? My guest this week is Paige McClanahan. Paige is an American journalist based in France, who can now add “author” to her list of accolades with the publication of “The New Tourist: Waking Up to the Power and Perils of Travel” just last month.

    Brilliantly researched, “The New Tourist” is part travel book, part memoir, and explores the impact that travel has had on the world, how our relationship to it has evolved, and what we can do to move ourselves from the old way of touristing to the new one.

    What surprised her during her research and what advice would Paige have for those encountering the Old Tourist? Listen now to find out!

    Ep 75 - Lily Samson, “The Switch”
    May 15 2024
    What would happen if you and your bestie decided to secretly crawl into each other’s beds and seduce each other’s husbands without them knowing? That’s the premise behind author Lily Samson’s debut thriller “The Switch” and, of course, there’s something more sinister afoot. “The Switch” is a fast-paced, wild ride that I could not put down.

    In this Season Seven finale, Lily shares how she knew what to reveal and when, the allure of social status, and what inspired this tantalizing story in the first place.

  • Ep 74 - Diane Richards, “Ella”

    Ep 74 - Diane Richards, “Ella”
    May 8 2024
    You’ve undoubtedly heard of American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, but you likely don’t know much about her early life. My guest this week aims to change all that. Diane Richards is an author, playwright, singer, producer, and the Executive Director of the Harlem Writers Guild, which launched and supported Dr. Maya Angelou’s writing career, Diane’s novel “Ella” is a fictionalized biography spanning two years of Ella’s life, from her mother’s death in 1932 to her breakout performance at the Apollo Theater in 1934.

    Diane, herself, is a talented dancer and singer, performing at Carnegie Hall and singing backup for Whitney Houston. Her lyricism pours through the pages, as Ella falls from one unbelievable tragedy to another, an ode to the tenacity, resilience, and talent of Ella Fitzgerald as powerful as any gospel.
