Women Beyond a Certain Age Podcast

Second Chances with Alison Tucker

Alison Tucker started off with a $50 PX store guitar. From there she got kicked out of the Baptist church for drinking, cussing, smoking and dancing. Then she became a grownup for about 20 years (a highly overrated state to be in), married, kids, and working in corporate America. When that life fell apart, Alison realized she needed to become the person she was always meant to be.
Alison’s music reflects her magical gift for storytelling and her voracious curiosity about life. Her multifaceted style crosses genres, reflecting her creative heart and soul. Alison’s country and folk roots blend storytelling into the poetic sound of Americana.
Alison’s Second Chance Tour begins June 19th. Her music can be purchased on and streamed from her website or on Bandcamp.
Alison lives in Austin, Texas.

The Pelican Tide with Sharon Wishnow

Author Sharon Wishnow is with us to talk about her new novel, The Pelican Tide, and to talk about the writing process. Says she writes “stores about flawed, educated women with plots that have environmental themes, but not dystopian doom. I’m drawn to stores that show how changes in the environment change people.” 
Sharon is the former Vice President of Communications for the Women’s Fiction Writers Association (WFWA), the founder of Women’s Fiction Day, and is the Executive Editor of the WFWA magazine, WriteOn! Her newsletter, Research for Writers and Other Curious People, is incredible! Her book is available for preorder at the link below.

I Saw Them Standing There with Debbie Gendler

Debbie Gendler Supnik is with us to chat about her new book, I Saw Them Standing There: Adventures of an Original Fan During Beatlemania and Beyond. Debbie received an album by an unknown (in the US) British band named the Beatles and nothing was the same ever again! She said, “Yes!” to the opportunities that presented themselves, ending up in the audience of The Ed Sullivan Show, meeting Brian Epstein, attending the 1965 press conference welcoming the Beatles to America, visiting the Abbey Road Studios, staying with George’s parents in Liverpool, becoming friends with Paul’s brother Mike McCartney, and ending up working for the Ed Sullivan Show as an adult.
Debbie is a four-time Emmy-nominated television executive and producer with CBS and ABC. She served as Women in Film’s first Los Angeles-based Executive Director and was VP of Development for Weller/Grossman Productions. She currently works as a co-producer at SOFA Entertainment, owner of The Ed Sullivan Show.

The Punk Rock Queen of the Jews

Join us for a conversation with Chef Rossi about her memoir, The Punk Rock Queen of the Jews! It's a rollercoaster that whisks you through a world bursting with rich characters, uproarious dialogue, vivid snapshots of the Orthodox community and the gritty, pulsating 1980s New York City scene -- raw, on the edge, but gloriously alive. Rossi was raised in a conservative Jewish family, expected to toe the line, marry right, and play by the kosher rulebook. But at 16, she flipped the script, blossoming into a rebellious renegade, craving adventure over conformity. And just as she tasted freedom, her parents swooped in, yanked her away, and dropped her off with a Chasidic rabbi in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
Rossi has been published in outlets including The Daily News, The New York Post, Time Out New York, and McSweeney’s, to name a few. She has been the food writer of the “Eat Me” column for Bust magazine since 1998, hosts her own hit radio show on WOMR and WFMR in Cape Cod called Bite This, now in its nineteenth season, has been featured on The Food Network and NPR and has been a popular blogger for The Huffington Post. Her first memoir, “The Raging Skillet: The True Life Story of Chef Rossi” was published by The Feminist Press to rave reviews. In addition to memoir, Rossi has written two full-length plays, a number of one-act comedies, a one-woman stage adaptation of Queen of the Jews, and launched the Raging and Eating podcast.
