Season two of Elly McGuire’s Shaking the Bushes podcast has begun. Tune in at ellymcguire.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Enjoy episode one, Chutzpah!, and find out what a U.S. President’s slipper, Taylor Swift, and a splinter have in common.

You never know who’s going to turn up in the stories on Elly McGuire’s podcast, Shaking The Bushes—a former US President, a wife of a Beatle, a “Survivor”…to name just a few—as she shares humorous and often unpredictable autobiographical anecdotes and social commentary about living parallel lives in her “cozy” apartment in Manhattan and her childhood home in Rhode Island.

What you think might be so different from residing in both the biggest city in the world and in the smallest state in the union, can actually turn out to be very much the same.

Author and adventurist Elly McGuire has traveled the world, rubbed shoulders with celebrated people, and is now “shaking the bushes” of her colorful past.
