Joel and I discuss the time he walked the red carpet and thought the paparazzi was going crazy taking his picture of him holding up his award and pumping his fist, only to find he wasn’t what they were going crazy over. But I know you will love this story and finding out what who, or what they were going crazy over. We also discuss his podcast ‘Meeting Tom Cruise’, what it’s like doing a table read with Jeff Daniels and working with Aaron Sorkin. We talk about what it’s like reading books for Audible, what a great guy Kevin Pollack is, and how if you book an appearance with Joel on Cameo, your money goes to benefit Covenant House. I had a lot of fun talking with Joel and I think you will love this episode. Be sure to check this one out, like it, give it a thumbs up, comment and subscribe!

Yvonne Strahovski has been working in film and TV, voiceover, and on Broadway, ever since what she thought was a temporary trip from her home in Australia to the U.S. This interview offers a glimpse at her creative process across multiple mediums, and offers specific tips on both craft and career. In her experience, not booking roles is such an integral part of being a working actor, “I don’t even know if rejection is a good word...it’s just part of the exercise.” After her breakout leading role in the hit show “Chuck,” Yvonne has starred on “Dexter,” “24: Live Another Day,” “The Astronaut Wives Club,” and now ABC’s drama “Stateless.” For three seasons she’s brought Margaret Atwood’s dystopia Gilead to life as Serena Joy on Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a role that has earned her nominations from the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Primetime Emmys.

SUMMARY In his book Fly Girls, author and journalist Keith O’Brien brings to life the almost-forgotten, inspiring true stories of female aviators. Danger and discrimination were only two of the many obstacles they faced as they fought for their right to compete in air races popular during the 1920s and ‘30s. By following a small thread in The Astronaut Wives Club, O’Brien now weaves together Fly Girls, the unique history of “Five Brave Women Who Defied the Odds and Made Aviation History.” KEY POINTS In 1928, just eight years after the women's suffrage amendment passed, 30 million women were registered to vote. That same year, less than a dozen American women held pilot licenses. Women learning to fly had to put up with catcalls, odd looks, and snide remarks repeatedly. Most flight instructors were men who complained or wrote openly about how much they disliked teaching women how to fly. Air races (not air shows) were a real sport with winners and losers, lots of money for the victors, and enormous crowds—like the Super Bowl of our time. Sexism revealed in the nicknames given to female pilots: “ladybirds,” “sweethearts of the air,” “petticoat pilots,” and “powder puff girls.” Department of Commerce (predating the FAA) created a regulation that women could not fly a plane within three days of menstruating. Sabotage of women’s planes, though unproven, presented yet another obstacle to those wanting to participate in the air races. Women exerting freedoms, such as wearing pants and cutting hair short, went against the norms for the times. Aviation was potentially a very lucrative hobby or career. Radio communication was spotty and weather reports unreliable in the 1920s and ‘30s, and people were making planes “in their backyards.” QUOTES FROM O'BRIEN “Before they even got in a plane, they had to weather discrimination on the ground.” “To be a woman walking across an airfield in 1928…would have put you into one of the rarest of categories.” “These women were true radicals, true renegades who were pushing the envelope of what society expected of a woman.” “These women had to be better pilots than the men…When the women crashed, they were questioned at every turn.” “They came from different backgrounds…but there was a commonality in how they were raised…At a time when parents—in particular, a father—could tell a teenage girl whom she would or would not date or marry…these parents either turned the other way and allowed their daughter to pursue this unusual interest in aviation, or they actively encourage it.” “Many died in the air races—sometimes right in front of the crowd—and still the races would go on! They had an appetite for death and disaster that we simply would not tolerate today.” BUY Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History BUY Fly Girls Young Readers’ Edition: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History RECOMMENDATIONS BUY The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story   Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Trade's trailer advertising Fly Girls (with live footage) Connect with us on social media!

This week, Libraries and Librarians! We talk ordering systems, the philosophy of trying to keep everything, how libraries can disappear and of course, how to look fabulous when becoming a librarian in 1990s New York. The movie was 1995's Party Girl and the book was Alberto Manguel's The Library At Night. Also discussed: The Witches Of East End, Obvious Child, The Astronaut Wives Club, From The Earth To The Moon, In The Shadow Of The Moon, Ex Libris, The To-Do List. For the next episode, Amy chose the theme; we'll be talking "The Summer That Changed Everything." We'll be watching 2013's Prince Avalanche (which is streaming on Netflix) and reading Stephen King's "The Body" (which is collected in Different Seasons). Show Notes: Amy refers to high heels for books so that they would be the same height on shelves; that was not Johnson but Samuel Pepys, whose library is still maintained at Magdalene College at Cambridge. I refer to Jorge Luis Borge's at one point and mention a story he wrote about an infinite library. That is "The Library Of Babel," which is available here. The essay that Amy references on actors and range & actors who have that one great groove is here. Intro music: "Swinging Long," by The Magnetic Fields Outro music: "Librarian", by Morning Jacket
