Chelsea and Karen Chee (Late Night with Seth Meyers, Pachinko) waltz through Ginger Rogers’ 1991 memoir, My Story. From being stolen on a train as a baby, to power playing Fred Astaire with a blue feathered dress, to a truly wild lack of awareness about world events, this book had some gems!

Chelsea and Molly Quinn (Castle, Guardians of the Galaxy) dive into an oldie but a goodie, Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann’s 1977 memoir Changing. From her marriage to Ingmar Bergman, to struggling with Hollywood networking, to possibly the earliest Henry Kissinger appearance yet, this episode delivers a surprisingly poetic twist to inspire us all for the new year.

Chelsea and Elizabeth Day (How to Fail) take a hard look at two often compared memoirs: Tara Westover’s 2018 memoir Educated, and Jeannette Wall’s 2005 memoir The Glass Castle. The Glass Castle was accepted as a true recounting of a dysfunctional childhood, while Tara Westover was accused of making up or exaggerating her accounts of her family in Educated. Why would one be believed unquestioningly, and one be controversial? Is it the internet’s fault? Backlash to the #MeToo movement in 2018? Or does our culture have a problem with women who cut ties with their families?

Show Notes:

• Jeannette Walls’ The Glass Castle 

• Tara Westover’s Educated

• LaRee Westover’s Educating

• Elizabeth's interview with Tara Westover on How To Fail with Elizabeth Day

• Elizabeth's book Friendaholic

• GTT: Best Friend Breakups episode

• Tara Westover's brother Tyler's full Amazon review copy-pasted into this Goodreads thread
