Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week’s entertainment news, including stories about Netflix, Jimmy Carter, and James Patterson. Then, stick around for a chat with Wendy Dale!
Wendy Dale: In spite of the title of her first book, Wendy Dale has not been very good at avoiding prisons, especially the ones located in Costa Rica. A world traveler known for heading to some of the strangest places on the planet, she has also competed for jogging space in Colombia with guerrillas intent on overthrowing the government, learned to dance salsa in Cuba with the aid of a 60-year-old woman intent on starting each morning with a healthy dose of rum, and dodged bombs in Lebanon. (The good news, as she would learn later, was that they were small bombs. “Very small bombs” her optimistic guide in Beirut would helpfully point out.)
She studied film in Cochabamba, Bolivia, the city she currently calls home, where she writes and directs comedic shorts in Spanish. Long ago she lived in Los Angeles, where she wrote a humorous TV special that was nominated for an Emmy (“The New Adventures of Mother Goose.”)
She is currently at work on a new memoir.
