S6E7: The Bridges of Madison County- Cayce Osborne
Season 6, Ep. 7
•
Hi, everyone!
Unfortunately, circumstances are way outside my control and this is the last episode of FBOL. I want to thank you all endlessly for being such an amazing community and audience. I had some fantastic books on the schedule, but because all of my equipment is toast and I don't know where I'll be living, when, and for how long, recording new episodes is off the table.
The person who finds me with the best Attic Wife joke gets my enduring love.
Please send some support to Cayce Osborne, who is an absolute gem and fantastic writer:

26:57||Season 7, Ep. 13Vera Caspary's LAURA was translated to screen for the first time in the heyday of the Hayes Code and classic film. So how does one capture the essence of a novel about a career girl coveted by three very different men, only to meet her grisly fate at the hand of one of her jealous suitors? By hiring Vincent Price, of course!Kristen is the main host of the podcast Ticklish Business ( http://ticklishbusiness.podbean.com ) , which I joined as a co-host a short time ago.
