Hour 1 – Ed talks with former NBA Finals MVP and current Boston Celtics broadcaster Cedric Maxwell about his new book: “Banner Year: How Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Brad Stevens Persevered to Lead the Boston Celtics to a Record-Breaking Title.” Ed and Caryn talk about maintaining your memory and Ed ends up introducing Caryn to Wordle and ask: what drives you? Then, Caryn turns the tables on Ed to reveal a lingering desire. Plus, Ed and Caryn ask why food has such an important part in our lives. Should it?

Hour 2 – Ed talks with author and former Soviet-era arms control negotiator Suzanne Parry about her career and her new book: “The Communist’s Secret.” Plus, Ed talks with music artist and activist Sonita Alizada about her new memoir: “Sonita: My Fight Against Tyranny and My Escape to Freedom.” Sonita was sold not once, but twice, into marriage before deciding to build her own life. And Ed and Caryn found a published formula that guarantees you your best day ever. Can it be that easy?
