Today as a special treat, we?re sharing an episode of Choice Words with Samantha Bee from Lemonada featuring our very own Alyssa Mastromonaco!

 

Each week on Choice Words, Samantha Bee sits down with people she admires to examine the biggest choices they?ve made in their lives and the ripple effects those decisions have had. Sam?s made a lot of choices, too. She may have to interview herself about starting this podcast.

In the episode you?re about to hear, Alyssa joins Sam Bee to reminisce on a time when she was Deputy Chief of Staff in the Obama Administration and was averaging two hours of sleep per night. Sam asks Alyssa what it was like to go from that high-stakes environment to watching HGTV all day, what made her decide that she?s never wearing Spanx again, and how she got deep into the world of jam making.

A sneak peek of the first book from Crooked Media Reads, Mobility, by Lydia Kiesling. Mobility is a gripping coming-of-age story about navigating a world of corporate greed that's both laugh-out-loud funny and politically incisive. The novel tracks themes of class, power, politics, and desire throughout the life of its compelling main character, Bunny Glenn. 

Vulture called Bunny Glenn ?a complicated heroine for the ages, a striver who values the comforts of her oil-industry job even as she must reckon with the fact that the world is quite literally on fire.? 

Order your copy of Mobility today at crooked.com/mobility or wherever books are sold.
