Can you BELIEVE we found Cher in the thrift shop this week?!  Cher has been super-famous for a staggering SEVEN decades! She's an omnipresent icon! Hard to imagine that once upon a time nobody knew who she was.  Her pre-fame existence and subsequent rise to fame are as interesting and colourful as her enduring career.  This was someone destined and determined to make a mark on the world and that's exactly what she went and did ( with a little help from Sonny).This is a brand new podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops.

This week we found Mommie Dearest languishing on the shelves at the thrift shop. An iconic book both of us were aware of but had never read! We were appalled and enthralled by Christina Crawford's account of life with her mother, Joan, one of the defining stars of Hollywood's Golden Era.Be warned: This podcast episode includes child abuse. Lots of it and it's really horrible. There are also a couple of reactionary F bombs so perhaps not a great episode to listen to with your kids. Unless you want them to understand how lucky they are to have you as a parent (in comparison to Joan Crawford anyway)This is a brand new podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops.

We found Mariah Carey's Autobiography in the thrift shop this week. We never would have normally read this book but are SO glad we did. What a life! Who knew?!  Little Mariah could have so easily grown up to be someone VERY different.  Yet even when she succeeded beyond all odds, her life was beset with drama and difficulties.  What a woman! What a voice! What a book!Be warned: This podcast episode includes childhood trauma, coercive relationships and Christmas!
