Okay well I am THRILLED to read this today because I do not know Jason Isbell and fell in love with him, his wife and his music just by watching that trailer. Also thank you for the spoiler alert on Succession because holy shit I watched ONE episode of this season last night and it was so intense I felt like I needed a shower after and I am so glad I didn't spoil the end for myself. And also I am super excited about new fiction audible recs for the weekend. Thank you Laura and love you all!! <3
Oh my gosh, YES! This past Tuesday I was listening to the You Can Do Hard Things podcast (love it!) interview with Cheryl, as I drove from NH to OH, and that is how I found you. I immediately pulled over and downloaded your new book on audible....Made the decision to continue NOT drinking (I was on day one at the time), and wound up as of yesterday on TLC. What an amazing group of people. THANK YOU! (And Succession - OMG!)
I think these kinds of lists are so fun and it started to occur to me when I spent my first 3mo of sobriety sharing what I was learning about myself and sharing various resources with a group of friends, that so many people just aren’t seekers. I love looking at different outlet’s for creativity, what’s out there, what moves and helps people, from books to shows to products to places - helps you sift through the crap and learn about things you haven’t come across yet. Thanks for doing this!

My husband is a faithful listener of Kara Swisher's pod and spoiled it for himself yesterday ;) And also I am super excited about new fiction audible recs for the weekend.

I love, love, love JI. He was so good on the SXSW panel. So humble, honest and he so good articulating his thoughts and his feelings. I saw a 60 minute interview with him awhile back, but this went much more in depth. He is one of the best songwriters, and yes, Amanda was the VIP! She's a badass. And Mercy!...mercy, mercy she's a treasure! BTW, I'm going to photo shop the pic of you and JI and put my head where yours is so I can be in the pic with him. Hope you don't mind. ;)
I may get some flack for this but I find this entire podcast series to be incredibly well done and have found myself in tears several times throughout listening. So wanted to throw it out here on the dig list - you have to stay at the beginning if you are going to listen
This is SOOO freakin fascinating!!! Laura- I hold you, your work and your recommendations in such high regard and I HATED the last few episodes of Succession! Basically, for the same exact reasons you hated Pineapple Street (which I have not read). Nothing ever happens in Succession. It's a bunch of privileged fu*ks constantly scheming to take over their dad's company and it feels like the same plot over and over. Plus, I cannot handle how they speak to one another with the constant choppy, passive aggressive, incomplete sentences. My partner and I have been lamenting over how terrible the writing has gotten! Haha. In other news, I had no interest in reading Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow (video games? no thanks!) but caved because of your plug and it was phenomenal! Just goes to show how subjective art truly is. Thanks!
Have you posted about your experience with the Matthew Perry memoir? I read it and really would love to hear.
I got to see Jason and Amanda perform together pre covid. I also LOVE her as a member of The Highwomen. I still remember their interview together years back on Death, Sex and Money. Can’t wait to watch the doc.
