184 - The Joys of Self Publishing with Jo Firestone

What this episode covers

Now wait a minute. We've got a real "hot Krispy Kremes at the nuthouse" kind of episode this week. Ronna's on the floor with her feet in the air (for her back, excuse me), and (Bryan)'s been sneezing all day. But luckily we have a guest who delights us to no end. We're so happy to welcome to The Carriage House actor, comedian, and writer Jo Firestone! Her novel MURDER ON SEX ISLAND is being released on October 17th (allegedly), and you can hear excerpts of it wherever you get your podcasts. You can ALSO hear excerpts of her book TONIGHT, September 12, at the Bell House in Brooklyn. If you're in New York, go check it out! Jo helps us give advice on unrequited love and give some top tier tips for traveling around New York. The time has come!
