Podcasts about believe me a memoir

In January 2018, we were joined by world-renowned comedian, actor, writer, runner, and activist Eddie Izzard. In Paris developing a brand new stand-up show (in French!), for one afternoon only Eddie Izzard swapped the comedy club for the bookstore to discuss his brilliant, moving and hilarious new book, Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death and Jazz Chickens.

This week, we talk BOOK SHAME! Brea and Mallory talk about their own shameful book secrets, interview Daniel H Wilson about The Clockwork Dynasty and his own book shame, and Mallory finally gets to talk about her book brush.

Eddie Izzard once thought about playing piano for a living. He’s done one professional show. It was in front of tens of thousands of people. That’s because fans will watch the comedian do pretty much anything, from running marathons, to telling jokes in German. His new book is Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death and Jazz Chickens.  Also, we celebrate an unheralded date in history: July 3rd.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
