“Bourdain” Author Laurie Woolever, The Best of 2021

It’s our number one show of 2021—our interview with Laurie Woolever, author of Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography, one of the year’s most anticipated books. Laurie joined host Kerry Diamond in July to talk about the book World Travel, a project they had started before his death that would share inside details on the places he had loved and visited over the years. As his longtime assistant (or lieutenant, as he called her) and his co-author, Laurie was enmeshed in the details of Anthony Bourdain’s life and work. When the beloved chef and journalist died in 2018, Laurie lost a boss, a friend, and a trusted collaborator. Today’s show is supported by Kerrygold.
