This aired a few weeks ago and I spoke about it on an upcoming Wildflowers Podcast: Books, Booze and Banter that will air soon, but meanwhile, I encourage you to try and catch "Stripped for Parts" about local journalism and why it's struggling:

Wildflowers Podcast: Books, Booze & Banter #113 Carol was excited to share a Malbec, but with a fascinating history—history being the key word; Peggy then reviewed "The Last Illusion of Paige White" by Vanessa McCausland, followed by Judy’s topic of International Seas. youtu.be/BQ-QTkD2mLc

Over the last year and some, I had a great time touring for "Before She Was A Finley" and decided to share some photos from my journey in no particular order, but each with a brief comment. Feel free to check them out here: www.carolhoenig.com/events

Sometimes it’s important to revisit the past, especially when one feels they dropped the ball along the way. I write about that here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Be on the lookout for the latest Wildflowers Podcast: Books, Booze and Banter when the gals dedicate most of the podcast discussing Kamala Harris’s recent book 107 Days. (How many dogs can you count that are in the photo?) Meanwhile, check out past episodes here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCZC...

Won’t swear in Arizona Attorney General. Says the ballroom the felon is illegally having built will be amazing. Says democrats are responsible for the shutdown. Mike Johnson, you are a little sniveling weasel. Wait. That’s not nice. My apologies…to the weasels.

I watched this last night and it was fascinating. The only frustration was how Ann Coulter threw in some of her snarky false narratives while every one else stayed on topic:

I'm looking forward to more episodes.

This memory just showed up, which is one of the positives about social media. It's been over a year since Nelson DeMille died, but the memories I had of interviewing him is very precious.

Judy’s topic in our latest Wildflowers Podcast is legal child marriage. That no longer exists in America, right? Find out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzfW...
(If you want to skip right to it, it’s about 27 minutes into the podcast.)

What a nice memory to have interviewing Nelson DeMille, not once but twice. He'd told me how much he liked the questions I asked. So sorry he's no longer with us.

Because I love America and value democracy I will be peacefully, and even joyfully, protesting on October 18th. I’d prefer to be safely in my home writing, but there’s no time to remain silent.

Hey ICE,
What a joke you are hiding behind masks because a felon illegally sends you to peaceful cities when those of us legally protesting aren’t hiding who we are. It’s manufactured chaos by tRump. AKA the felon.

In our latest Wildflowers Podcast, Peggy discusses Gene Sharp’s book “From Dictatorship to Democracy” before ending with something lighter: horoscopes!
