Book Me, Please!

Comedy


In our fourth episode we have our first graphic novel, our first author, and a book about an amazing group of women who broke down gender barriers in WWII. Joining us this week is comedian Miles K, (Babe Island) who brings us one of his, and my, favorites by writer/artist Daniel Clowes, the inimitable, incomparable, and sometimes infuriating ‘Wilson’. Next, we talk to the hilarious Brandie Posey, (‘Lady to Lady’ podcast, ‘Picture This’ ) about ‘Amelia Earhart's Daughters: The Wild And Glorious Story Of American Women Aviators From World War II To The Dawn Of The Space Age’, a fascinating book that uncovers the long ignored contribution of female aviators. We wrap things up by speaking with author/comedian Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show on KPFK, The Young Turks Network) about his funny and insightful book of political humor, ‘Your Country Is Just Not That Into You: How the Media, Wall Street, and Both Political Parties Keep on Screwing You—Even After You’ve Moved On’. It’s a fun and informative hour that flies by, and as usual, it’s full of recommendations for other stuff, such as books by Charles Burns, Walter Isaacson, and more!
