Sonja D. Williams Nonfiction, Nonfiction Writing, Podcast, Podcasting, Politics

With all of the constantly shifting, confusing and even frustrating machinations in America’s political world, you might wonder what drives the men and women behind the headlines and news stories.  Perhaps no one is more fascinating a personality than Nancy Pelosi – the first woman to serve as Congress’ Speaker of the House.

In her bestselling biography, simply titled Pelosi, journalist Molly Ball explores the life of this experienced and polarizing politician. Fellow biography and former journalist John A. Farrell interviews Molly Ball, and their revelatory discussion is available on the Biographers International Organization podcast – on which I serve as a producer.

Juneteenth – America’s Newest National Holiday – June 19th

Looking to hear something that could, perhaps, cool you down while providing insights into this country’s most recent, hot weather-based holiday?

If so, click on the book cover image on the right.

Last month for BIO (the Biographers International Organization), I had the pleasure of conducting a ZOOM interview with Harvard University Professor Annette Gordon-Reed, the Pulitzer Prize and multiple award-winning author and historian, best known for her compelling studies of such 19thcentury figures as Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemmings and Andrew Johnson.

Gordon-Reed’s latest book, On Juneteenth  (published in May of this year), is an insightful, personalized view of the history and legacy of the mid-June celebration that marks the end of slavery in Texas.

So treat yourself to a pleasurable and hopefully an enlightening summertime podcast.

And enjoy!
