Delia Ephron is a courageous woman. Not only did she lose her husband Jerry, she then faced death in the form of leukemia and a very risky bone marrow transplant all while falling in love with her husband Peter. As if all of this weren't enough, she wrote an amazing memoir about it, Left on Tenth, and THEN she turned it into a major play on Broadway where hundreds of people could react to her story, live. How did she do it and why? We find out on this week's Book Case. We also talk to the bookstore Francie and French, and tell you where they got that name.

Welcome to the first episode of November for the Video Store Podcast! For this week's show, I've picked four films that are the definition of a cozy sweater or favorite blanket. These are comfort films for the fall season that are easy to watch and fun for just about everyone. First up is the always fun film from 1987, The Princess Bride, directed by Rob Reiner and written by William Goldman. Full of action, adventure, humor, and romance, there's truly something for everyone in The Princess Bride. Cozy up with the whole family for this one. Next is one of the best rom-coms ever made, 1998's You've Got Mail. Directed by rom-com great Nora Ephron and written by Nora and her sister, Delia Ephron, You've Got Mail is an icon of the genre. Starring the ever-charming Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, this film's setting of New York City in the fall will make you want to put on a scarf, sip your coffee, and listen to some nice piano jazz. Keeping in the romance genre, we've got 2005's adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. This is a gorgeous film with beautiful sets and cinematography, an enchanting score, and swoon-worthy dialogue. With an entire host of phenomenal actors, Pride & Prejudice is a cozy film best enjoyed with a cup of tea and some “most excellent potatoes.” Grab your blanket and your bestie and enjoy this beautiful film. Finally, one of the best fall films, and really one of the best films ever made is Peter Jackson's first film in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring from 2001. Set during the fall, lush with autumn trees, feasting, beautiful music, and sets that are the definition of the golden hour, The Fellowship of the Ring is a majestic feast for the eyes, ears, and heart. Pull on your favorite sweater, grab a plate of snacks worthy of a hobbit, pour a pot of tea, or maybe a pint of your favorite brew, and enjoy The Fellowship of the Ring. I hope these films will serve as a nice palate cleanser from the spooky days of October and help you enjoy the beauty of the fall season of November while we wait for Thanksgiving.

Actor Peter Gallagher (Sex, Lies, & Videotape and The O.C.) met his wife, Paula Harwood, over forty years ago in college in a stairwell meet-cute. Since then, they've maintained a loving marriage and managed to raise a family while navigating the world of show business.We talked to Peter on his 41st wedding anniversary, and he read us the Modern Love essay “Failing in Marriage Does Not Mean Failing at Marriage” by Joe Blair. Despite the essayist being kicked out of the house by his wife five times, the couple managed to remain married and learn that a relationship can mean trying together and failing together. Reflecting on the essay, Peter gave us his advice for staying the course.Peter Gallagher will be performing on Broadway this fall in Delia Ephron's play ‘Left on Tenth.'
For the last of our January archive episodes, we're revisiting an emotional and uplifting chat with screenwriter Delia Ephron. Next week, we're back with a brand new season of The Shift with Sam Baker.---My final guest of the season is the acclaimed screenwriter and bestselling author, Delia Ephron. Unfailingly wise, warm and witty, Delia is perhaps best known as co-writer of the Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks smash hit You've Got Mail, with her sister, the writer and director Nora Ephron,.Delia's new memoir, Left On Tenth, is the kind of story that would out-rom if not out-com - anything Nora could have come up with. Except… every word is true.At 72, Delia found herself quite literally left on Tenth street in Manhattan, when her husband of 37 years, Jerry, died of cancer, just three years after the death of her beloved big sister Nora. A year later Delia reconnected with Peter, a man she didn't even remember dating in college. It was love at second sight. But that was only the start of the story. Because just four months later, Delia was diagnosed with the same cancer that killed her sister.Now 77, and recovering from a successful bone marrow transplant, Delia joined me from California to talk about getting a second chance at life and love in your 70s, the imperfection of sisterhood, being a lifelong worrier, why friendship is her superpower and shy she's addicted to blow dries (and pastries!). Oh, and, “if someone wants to crush your dreams with their big fat foot get out!”.

An unseemly split over tanks risks the ironclad unity the NATO alliance has demonstrated in support of Ukraine. Among some allies – led by Britain, Poland, Finland, and the Baltic nations – there is a sense of striking while the iron is hot, before Russia regroups for an expected spring offensive. At the heart of the drama is the German Leopard 2 tank, which is top of Ukraine's wish list. But the German chancellor is dragging his feet. More than a dozen countries own those tanks, including Poland, which says it will send its Leopards to Ukraine. But it would need Berlin's sign-off. U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby joins the show from the White House to discuss what military support Ukraine is getting – and what more the alliance can deliver. Also on today's show: Marcin Przydacz, Foreign Policy Adviser to Polish president; Delia Ephron, author, Left on Tenth. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
The 17th century. The English Civil War. Whitehead, a man of letters, maker of lace, and self-described coward, is tasked with finding and arresting the colleague and rival alchemist who stole his master's papers. He enlists the aid of Cutler, a soldier who claims he can take them to a nearby alehouse, and two deserters, the wily Jacob and dull-minded Friend. Upon arriving at Cutler's destination – not the alehouse, but a wide open field strewn with hallucinogenic mushrooms, the group locates the alchemist, O'Neil. But instead of taking in his man, Whitehead, along with Jacob and Friend, find themselves O'Neil's prisoners. And as Whitehead becomes a literal tool in O'Neil's plot to seek out a deposit of gold in the field, this one-time familiar place quickly turns strange and otherworldly.

(This episode originally aired in March 2020.) The 1998 romantic comedy You've Got Mail, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, is about the brutal fight between a beloved indie bookstore, the Shop Around the Corner, and Fox Books, an obvious Barnes & Noble stand-in. On this episode of Decoder Ring we revisit the real-life conflict that inspired the movie and displaced independent booksellers on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. This conflict illustrates how, for a brief time, Barnes & Noble was a symbol of predatory capitalism, only to be usurped by the uniting force at the heart of the film: the internet. Some of the voices in this episode include Delia Ephron, the co-screenwriter of You've Got Mail, the illustrator Brian Selznick, Laura J. Miller, author of Reluctant Capitalists: Bookselling and the Culture of Consumption, Joel Fram, founder of Eeyore's Books for Children, and Boris Kachka, book editor for the Los Angeles Times.

In You've Got Mail, two people fall in love over email. Decades after writing that screenplay, Delia Ephron found herself in the middle of a very similar story. “I really did think I'd fallen into my own romantic comedy.” Say hello on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Well, we've already done Sleepless in Seattle, so it's time for Paul and Erika to take a gander and the third movie in the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan oeuvre…1998's You've Got Mail! How does Nora & Delia Ephron's rom-com about capitalism hold up? You'll have to listen to find out…and we've gotta go watch Joe Vs. The Volcano.
Writer Delia Ephron ran into a rough patch that lasted for years. First, her sister Nora died. After Delia's husband passed away, Delia was diagnosed with the same type of leukemia that killed Nora. Doctors told Delia her own chances of surviving were not good. She tells that gripping story in a memoir called Left on Tenth. But not all is doom and gloom. Something unexpected happened to Delia in the midst of all the loss; she fell in love. “Now What?” is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Alex Wolfe and Annika Hoiem. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
Delia Ephron went through hell. Her leukemia almost killed her - so did the treatments to cure it. In “Left on Tenth”, her new book that is on many best seller lists, she writes about wanting to die - pleading with the doctors to let her die. However a doctor, who perhaps knew Delia better than she knew herself, wouldn't let her. And a late in life, second love, sustained her through the most difficult of times. Delia's book is inspiring and is testament to the strength of the human spirit and the healing power of love. Now, remarkably recovered, she talks about her ordeal. Listen to her answer of what she wants the rest of her life to be. It will make you smile.
Along with her sister, Nora Ephron, Delia Ephron wrote the hit film, "You've Got Mail." She found her life imitating art when at 72, she fell in love via email. But soon after, she was diagnosed with a severe leukemia. She joins to discuss these extreme up and down experiences as detailed in her new memoir, Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life.
My guest today is Delia Ephron: bestselling author, screenwriter and playwright. Her movies include You've Got Mail (starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks) and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, she has written novels and non-fiction, and her journalism has appeared in the New York Times, Oprah magazine and Vogue. She collaborated with her sister, Nora Ephron, on a play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, which ran for two years off-Broadway, and today we are chatting about her brilliant new memoir called Left on Tenth, A Second Chance at Life - a beautiful book about many things: Delia's second chance at love, her wonderful friendships and a heartfelt account of life after cancer. It's a book about hope and I really really recommend a read and curling up with Delias words and shutting the world off for a moment. Hope you enjoy the conversation :)LINKS:Join my Substack community and come and say hi! https://thehyphen.substack.com/Buy DISCONNECTED here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9781529373127Buy Left On Tenth here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9780857528834My books: https://uk.bookshop.org/contributors/emma-gannonMy favourite 2022 reads: https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/best-reads-of-2022Social media:Twitter: Twitter.com/emmagannonInstagram: Instagram.com/emmagannonuk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We all know the vow: “In sickness and in health.” But in reality, when serious illness enters a relationship, everything changes. A powerful mix of conflicting emotions can tug on people — love, devotion, grief, guilt, and even resentment. Illness can be a test — a trial by fire — but also an opportunity for growth. On this episode, we hear from couples and families whose lives have been touched by illness and find out how they made it through. How were their relationships transformed? How did they not only survive — but thrive? And what helps people cope, and even appreciate the good moments? We hear stories about how cancer changed the trajectory of writer Delia Ephron's life, the hidden struggles of family caregivers, and how one mother's illness transformed her family's life. ALSO HEARD: When writer Delia Ephron lost her husband of more than 30 years to prostate cancer, she thought she'd never love again. But then an acquaintance from her past, psychiatrist Peter Rutter, came along, and everything changed. Ephron's new memoir is called “Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life.” In the U.S., more than 50 million people serve as caregivers for a family member or loved one — and that number is on the rise. We talk with psychologist Julia Mayer and her husband, therapist Barry Jacobs, about the challenges caregivers face. They are the authors of “AARP Meditations for Caregivers: Practical, Emotional, and Spiritual Support for You and Your Family.” Mothers are often the glue that holds the family together — and when they get sick, it upsets the entire system. Reporter Diana Opong tells the story of what happened to one family in the aftermath of a new baby, a cancer diagnosis, and multiple surgeries. Writer Justin Kramon brings us this story of a romantic vacation gone wrong. Elaine Allard was enjoying a trip to Paris to visit her partner, Josh Evans — but a suspicious package, mysterious illness, and Josh's increasingly erratic behavior started to make her wonder if Josh was really the right partner for her.
Famed screenplay writer and author Delia Ephron got a second chance at life and love, both later in life. After suffering back-to-back losses, she coped by putting her pen to paper, offering perspective and lessons of hope and resilience. Equal parts insightful and entertaining, Delia connects with Hoda on everything from finding joy after 50 to the frustrations we all feel when taking the first steps on a new path.

My final guest of the season is the acclaimed screenwriter and bestselling author, Delia Ephron. Unfailingly wise, warm and witty, Delia is perhaps best known as co-writer of the Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks smash hit You've Got Mail, with her sister, the writer and director Nora Ephron,.Delia's new memoir, Left On Tenth, is the kind of story that would out-rom if not out-com - anything Nora could have come up with. Except… every word is true.At 72, Delia found herself quite literally left on Tenth street in Manhattan, when her husband of 37 years, Jerry, died of cancer, just three years after the death of her beloved big sister Nora. A year later Delia reconnected with Peter, a man she didn't even remember dating in college. It was love at second sight. But that was only the start of the story. Because just four months later, Delia was diagnosed with the same cancer that killed her sister.Now 77, and recovering from a successful bone marrow transplant, Delia joined me from California to talk about getting a second chance at life and love in your 70s, the imperfection of sisterhood, being a lifelong worrier, why friendship is her superpower and shy she's addicted to blow dries (and pastries!). Oh, and, “if someone wants to crush your dreams with their big fat foot get out!”. • You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including Left On Tenth by Delia Ephron and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me!• The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.
