    Brooke Bentley & Julia Whelan, SIDELINE CONFIDENTIAL

    Zibby welcomes author Brooke Bentley and audiobook narrator Julia Whelan to discuss SIDELINE CONFIDENTIAL, a powerful novel that explores the challenges women face in the male-dominated world of professional sports media, inspired by Brooke’s time as the first woman to travel with the Houston Texans. Julia, who narrates the audiobook, shares how they worked together to bring the story to life through her new company, Audiobrary, which champions fair compensation for narrators. The trio dives into the evolution of women’s roles in the NFL, the book’s unexpected connection to the Taylor Swift effect, and the importance of telling authentic stories that break free from traditional romance tropes.'

    Gina Yashere, CACK-HANDED: A Memoir

    Special re-release: In support of authors who have lost their homes in the tragic LA fires, we will be resharing their podcast episodes. Although Gina Yashere’s path to comedy wasn’t easy, writing her memoir, CACK-HANDED, in her own voice allowed her to work through some things she thought she had left behind. Now a legend in the comedy world, with a CBS sitcom that she created and stars in, Gina is reflecting on how she got to where she is. She shares what growing up as the daughter of two Nigerian immigrants in the U.K. was like in the 1980s, why she turned to comedy as a way to mitigate some of the racialized violence she experienced, and how writing this book helped her understand her mother in a brand-new way.
