Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey guys, Welcome into Lisa's book Club Bonus chapter edition
this Saturday edition. I'm Lisa Donovan. I'm here with producer Riley.
Hey guys, And a few weeks ago, we asked you
guys to dm us questions things that you were curious about.
So we are going to answer your question.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, just like a listener grab bag. Whatever you guys
asked us, we're going to try to answer. So somebody
wanted to know, Lisa, how you select books for Lisa's
Book Club.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's so funny because Andy Husbands, who we had on
the Billy and Lisa Show this morning, asked me the
same thing off air. I basically, I have been lucky
enough to be connected to all of our local authors
through personal relationships, whether it be someone that my kids
go to school with a mom who went to college
like with Lisa Genova, Ellen Hildebrand, my friend Remy is
(00:51):
good friends with her Ben Mesrich we've had on the
morning show for many, many.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Years, big big friend of the pod.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Right. So I think the way that I pick books
is obviously authors that have new releases coming out, which
makes the most sense, and sometimes they do, but sometimes
they don't, and maybe they had a book that came
out a year ago and it's coming out in paperback,
which has always been fun. We did that with Charlottage
The God and that was through our iHeart connection. So
it's really been through personal connections so far. And I
(01:22):
feel so lucky because we have so many amazing local
authors in this area that you don't even know about,
like Jodi Pico, she's from New Hampshire and Lisa Genova
is good friends with her, so we're trying to connect
with her. But yeah, so that's how it's happened. And
as we expand the book club, we'll obviously be looking
at more new releases and projects that are coming out
(01:44):
that we can tap into. But that's how it's been happening.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
And I feel like the fun thing about that is
that you're also spanning a lot of different genres because
it's people that you know. It's not necessarily just oh,
this is a book club for romance or whatever. It's like,
it's all these different genres.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, we're doing We're doing one with Debbie Brown, who
is a holistic healer. She does guided meditations. She has
a new book out right now, and she is friendly
with Charlotte and the God and he actually wrote the
forward to her book. So when he was here in Boston,
he said, you need to have Debbie Brown at your
book club. So she's coming June twelfth. So I just
(02:22):
thought that the circle just keeps getting bigger and bigger
and bigger.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, a lot of untapped potential that we're just trying
to get to, right. So somebody else wanted to know
if you'd ever do like a true crime book.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
At the Jeff Benedict book Club event, a woman came
up to me. She came with her husband and she said, Hey,
I'm really good friends with Casey Sherman and he is
a true crime author and he did Finest Hours. He
wrote the book Patriots Day that was made into the
film Oh My God, Yeah, which was really good with
(02:55):
Mark Wahlberg. But you know, he has a new book
out right now, so we're trying to connect with him
to see if he would do if he would do
my book club. So yeah, we're on it. We're going
to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That'll be a good one, yeah, And that's a big market.
Like people love true true crime, whether it's like books
or podcasts or like real stories whatever, like I feel
like a ton of people will turn out to that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
That'll be a big one.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Do you like true crime? Really?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I like it in theory, but it kind of freaks
me out a little bit because it's stuff that I'm like,
this could easily happen to me as like a young woman.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Well, Patricia Cornwell, we are in talks to have her
come to the book club this fall because she has
a new book coming out in October and she her
main character is case Scarpetta in all of her books,
like in all of her crime books. So that's going
to be a really really amazing book club event.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I feel like a lot of people, yeah, will want
because especially because we haven't done really one like that.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
We haven't. Yeah, so yeah, so we have a couple
in the works. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Somebody else wanted to know how we read our books,
like do we love She said that she loves paper copies.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Do we have kindles or audiobooks.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Or how do you read your book?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I'm very big on like physical copy or I am
a Kindle reader. I have a Kindle. I read on
the Kindle app on my phone. I have the physical Kindle,
but I mean reading it like hardback and like paperback
is always like feels the most satisfying.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
But sometimes books are expensive.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So you're right, you can get them at the library. True,
but the really popular ones, like the list is like
you know, the wait list is hundreds and huns and
hundreds of people. I remember when the Allen Hildebrand book
came out it was crazy, and the mel Robins book.
I like the hardcover. I like the paperback, like it
has to be a book. I don't think I've ever
read a book on a kindle ever, and I've never
(04:44):
listened to an audiobook either.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I've tried once.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I was reading some like or trying to listen to
like some like Romance, but I'm very I space out
if I'm not like physically following the words or something.
So I was like trying to play like Paint by
Numbers on my phone to just like focus on something
like focus on the words, but focus on something else.
It just didn't work for me personally. But yeah, my
brother's big on that. Oh okay, so I know it
(05:07):
works for people. I just think we do so much
audio in our job that for me to then listen
to a book, I just it's too much. It's i
need to give my years a break.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's actually I've never thought of it that way. That's
so true.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Kind I kind of get that now that you're saying that,
and I'm thinking of it from that perspective.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
That's real.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
But I also think like when you sit and you're
like wherever you are in your couch, a nice comfy chair,
you're laying in bed, like just that sort of feeling
of just what am I trying to say? Like it
it calms me down, Like I'm sitting, I'm focusing on
reading a book. It does a lot for me personally,
(05:48):
just like take myself out of my head.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And yeah, you know, I also feel like reading like
physical copies, it almost makes you feel accomplished. Ye Like
you're like you can see the effort and the work
you're doing. Like you're halfway through, You're like, wow, I've
like really, I'm really like doing something here.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I always like do it with like the book, Like
if it's like a five or six hundred page book,
I always look like, oh, wow, I got through like
seventy five pages today. Yeah, look at how I've gotten.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah You're like, oh, I've been reading for like two
hours now, Like I'm halfway through this book or like whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You like, that's crazy. Yeah, it's a sense of definitely
a sense of accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, I understand. Especially when I read like an entire
book in one day. I'm like, i did nothing today,
but I read this book, So I'm accomplished.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That is an accomplishment, it really is.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, Okay, So to pivot a little bit from the
book club, people were also talking about, like your outfit
from the from the posts.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, we do you know how they do that thing?
I forget on what show where they like text dms
like negative dms? Someone DM me why do I wear
so much black? I wear so much black because I
get up at three thirty in the morning, literally, and
it's usually pretty cold in Boston most months. And I
have to just tell you it's easy and that's why.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And it matches.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It matches, And I'm telling you when you consistently get
up at three thirty in the morning, like I have
for twenty two years, that's your go to.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Honestly, as somebody who sees you every single day, I
don't feel like you wear that much black.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, I just I try and mix it up a
little bit. But anyway, so to the DM or that's why,
And yeah, I think I'm going to change it. I
really am not. Yeah, I mean in the summer, I
think I wear brighter colors just because it's the summer
and I'm tan right, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It feels more like authentic when you were in colors
in the spring, spring and summer exactly like in Boston
when it's cold, like it's it's time.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
For black January. I'm not wearing bright pink, right, It's
just not in my wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I completely get that.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, but somebody wanted to know where you got the
red dress, and like, do you have a place that
you shop a lot?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh? Wow, the red dress I bought it is Zara
like ten years ago. Yeah, literally, And I love Zara.
I love H and M. And then I like, you know,
Veronica Beard, They've hosted a couple of our book club events.
They want to host another one. They're amazing for like
more professional women's clothing or just you know, fun stuff
(08:10):
you could wear to like a luncheon or something like
that for work. And then I like Revolve, you know,
and I love Reformation and I love shopping on the
real reel.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I was literally going to say.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I was waiting to see if you would say it,
and if you didn't, I was going to be like
all the time you come in and you're wearing something
so cute and I'm like, where'd you get this?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And you're like, oh, it's only forty dollars on the
real reel. Every time we're.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
At the Jeff Benedick book Club event, it was like
a four hundred dollars dress that I literally got for
forty dollars on the reeal reel. Yeah, so I die.
That was big. And if you don't know what the
real reel is, it's authenticated luxury consignment. So I buy
and sell on there. So but you can you know,
it's nice. It's a nice thing because it's very green.
So if you think about something that you have in
(08:53):
your closet, either something like clothing wise or handbag wise
or shoes, even jewelry, they sell and if you're done
with it, like it's had, you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Life with you.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, you can put it up for resale, make a
little bit of money, and then someone else gets to
enjoy it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's why I think like thrifting and stuff is really
big right now because people really like the idea of
like A, it's good for the environment, but like B,
it's like some of these things don't need to just
like die in somebody's closet.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Great, and it's like you said, it's good for the environment.
It's just like you know, and everything is such high
quality too. So yeah, so give the real real shot
of I've actually never shopped on it. I only know
about it really because of you. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I have to take a peek.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You can get some good deals.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, I'm big on Abercrombie. That's like, oh, that's where
I shop a lot. Somebody wanted to know what kind
of skincare you use? Any specific brands that you're really
big on.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, I think I use like all of this stuff
that you're supposed to use for someone my age, like
retinals and you know the TNS serums and you know
the underreesed serums, and but I have to give a
shout out to my friend Emma. She's an esthetician and
she's going to actually love that I'm doing this. She
(10:08):
came in here the other day, right, Yeah, she is
an esthetician that I've literally known for twenty five years.
She's from Ukraine and she came up with this with
this cream and it's it's she makes it herself and
it's called a Live for real Alive and then the
(10:29):
number four real and I use the cream that she
infuses tumeric in, but she has different formulations and tumoric
helps with inflammation. It's literally it's probiotics. So it's literally
you could eat the cream if you wanted to. And
she makes it in small batches. But again, it's alive
(10:50):
for real, and I want to give her a shout
out because it's her own business, her own company. She
created it herself, and you're absolutely going to love it.
So I use that morning and night, you know, over
everything else that I just said.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yes, skin's care is very important.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah it is, but you're so yeah skin Riley.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, I'm using like Sarah Bay.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
But that's but honestly, I used Saraba and I use
you know, all the new Regena products. Uh, definitely, I
definitely use Sarah Bay as my like skinwash.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Can wash me too.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I love it. Can I selfishly ask the question that
somebody asked they wanted to know a little bit about me?
Can I selfishly answer?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No, I'm gonna ask it, So, okay, how did you
get your start in radio? And where did you go
to college?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Okay, so I went to UNH University of New Hampshire.
I'm from Salem, New Hampshire, so local. And I kind
of got this job by accident, slash by begging, because
I worked for the Street Team, which is like our
part of our marketing department. And then there was a
girl who worked here before me, who I knew from
the Street Team. I think she was only here for
(11:55):
like genuinely, like a couple of months, and she just
wasn't working out.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So I knew that the position was opened to be
the phone.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Screener, and I went to Adam, our director of marketing,
and said, how do I get that job? Because I
wanted I had met you guys once at the Taylor
Swift concert, and.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I feel like we met another time you were on
the Street Team at at.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh Yes, me and you we were on I remember
that one too, but the entire show, I'd only met
like Billy once, and I was like, I would like
that job. I know how to answer the phone. And
so I met up with mccab and with Dylan, our big,
big boss, and you know it went okay. It wasn't
even like an interview. They were kind of just like, sure,
you can have it. And now i'm producer Riley like
(12:39):
I don't even I answer the phone, of course, but
now I'm Justin's right hand man.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So that's great.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Well, you're a hard worker and you have a good nature.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
And you guys saw something in me.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No, you're just you're just a good person and you
want to work hard and you have an interest in learning,
so that's what you need.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's hard. It's hard to make it in radio. Yeah,
you would know it is.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I came in through the side door. I wasn't a
radio person. I was in PR for ten years, right,
and then I started as the executive producer and then
they threw me on the air.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
So you never know, truly.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I always believe like things were meant to be.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, I think, yes, I agree, And this is kind
of business where you like work from the ground up
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, which sucks, but you know.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I think most things, if they're going to be lasting
in your life, you're gonna have to learn how to
do everything and go from the ground up.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And just work hard for it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Just keep working hard, which.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Is what you're doing exactly. Yeah, that's why we do this,
just what.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We're all doing exactly. Yea, the whole team. So well,
this was fun.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yes, if you guys ever want us to answer questions
like this again, always DM Lisa, DM me, DM the
kiss account whatever, we're We're open to doing a podcast.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Like this again.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Well, this was fun.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
This was fun. So we have on the podcast right now.
Wendy Francis. She's a local author from Quincy. She lives
in Squanham. Actually, she had a really good book called
Betting on the Good that is based at the Kentucky
Derby Churchill Downs and it's this is weekend, so.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Grab your hats.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, grab the book and look for her. She's going
to be doing some fun book signing events around the
Boston area the next couple of weeks and she was delightful,

Speaker 1 (06:31):
That is an accomplishment, it really is.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, Okay, So to pivot a little bit from the
book club, people were also talking about, like your outfit
from the from the posts.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, we do you know how they do that thing?
I forget on what show where they like text dms
like negative dms? Someone DM me why do I wear
so much black? I wear so much black because I
get up at three thirty in the morning, literally, and
it's usually pretty cold in Boston most months. And I
have to just tell you it's easy and that's why.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And it matches.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It matches, And I'm telling you when you consistently get
up at three thirty in the morning, like I have
for twenty two years, that's your go to.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Honestly, as somebody who sees you every single day, I
don't feel like you wear that much black.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, I just I try and mix it up a
little bit. But anyway, so to the DM or that's why,
And yeah, I think I'm going to change it. I
really am not. Yeah, I mean in the summer, I
think I wear brighter colors just because it's the summer
and I'm tan right, Yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It feels more like authentic when you were in colors
in the spring, spring and summer exactly like in Boston
when it's cold, like it's it's time.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
For black January. I'm not wearing bright pink, right, It's
just not in my wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I completely get that.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, but somebody wanted to know where you got the
red dress, and like, do you have a place that
you shop a lot?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh? Wow, the red dress I bought it is Zara
like ten years ago. Yeah, literally, And I love Zara.
I love H and M. And then I like, you know,
Veronica Beard, They've hosted a couple of our book club events.
They want to host another one. They're amazing for like
more professional women's clothing or just you know, fun stuff
(08:10):
you could wear to like a luncheon or something like
that for work. And then I like Revolve, you know,
and I love Reformation and I love shopping on the
real reel.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I was literally going to say.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I was waiting to see if you would say it,
and if you didn't, I was going to be like
all the time you come in and you're wearing something
so cute and I'm like, where'd you get this?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And you're like, oh, it's only forty dollars on the
real reel. Every time we're.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
At the Jeff Benedick book Club event, it was like
a four hundred dollars dress that I literally got for
forty dollars on the reeal reel. Yeah, so I die.
That was big. And if you don't know what the
real reel is, it's authenticated luxury consignment. So I buy
and sell on there. So but you can you know,
it's nice. It's a nice thing because it's very green.
So if you think about something that you have in
(08:53):
your closet, either something like clothing wise or handbag wise
or shoes, even jewelry, they sell and if you're done
with it, like it's had, you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Life with you.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, you can put it up for resale, make a
little bit of money, and then someone else gets to
enjoy it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's why I think like thrifting and stuff is really
big right now because people really like the idea of
like A, it's good for the environment, but like B,
it's like some of these things don't need to just
like die in somebody's closet.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Great, and it's like you said, it's good for the environment.
It's just like you know, and everything is such high
quality too. So yeah, so give the real real shot
of I've actually never shopped on it. I only know
about it really because of you. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I have to take a peek.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You can get some good deals.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, I'm big on Abercrombie. That's like, oh, that's where
I shop a lot. Somebody wanted to know what kind
of skincare you use? Any specific brands that you're really
big on.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, I think I use like all of this stuff
that you're supposed to use for someone my age, like
retinals and you know the TNS serums and you know
the underreesed serums, and but I have to give a
shout out to my friend Emma. She's an esthetician and
she's going to actually love that I'm doing this. She
(10:08):
came in here the other day, right, Yeah, she is
an esthetician that I've literally known for twenty five years.
She's from Ukraine and she came up with this with
this cream and it's it's she makes it herself and
it's called a Live for real Alive and then the
(10:29):
number four real and I use the cream that she
infuses tumeric in, but she has different formulations and tumoric
helps with inflammation. It's literally it's probiotics. So it's literally
you could eat the cream if you wanted to. And
she makes it in small batches. But again, it's alive
(10:50):
for real, and I want to give her a shout
out because it's her own business, her own company. She
created it herself, and you're absolutely going to love it.
So I use that morning and night, you know, over
everything else that I just said.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yes, skin's care is very important.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah it is, but you're so yeah skin Riley.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, I'm using like Sarah Bay.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
But that's but honestly, I used Saraba and I use
you know, all the new Regena products. Uh, definitely, I
definitely use Sarah Bay as my like skinwash.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Can wash me too.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I love it. Can I selfishly ask the question that
somebody asked they wanted to know a little bit about me?
Can I selfishly answer?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No, I'm gonna ask it, So, okay, how did you
get your start in radio? And where did you go
to college?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Okay, so I went to UNH University of New Hampshire.
I'm from Salem, New Hampshire, so local. And I kind
of got this job by accident, slash by begging, because
I worked for the Street Team, which is like our
part of our marketing department. And then there was a
girl who worked here before me, who I knew from
the Street Team. I think she was only here for
(11:55):
like genuinely, like a couple of months, and she just
wasn't working out.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So I knew that the position was opened to be
the phone.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Screener, and I went to Adam, our director of marketing,
and said, how do I get that job? Because I
wanted I had met you guys once at the Taylor
Swift concert, and.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I feel like we met another time you were on
the Street Team at at.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh Yes, me and you we were on I remember
that one too, but the entire show, I'd only met
like Billy once, and I was like, I would like
that job. I know how to answer the phone. And
so I met up with mccab and with Dylan, our big,
big boss, and you know it went okay. It wasn't
even like an interview. They were kind of just like, sure,
you can have it. And now i'm producer Riley like
(12:39):
I don't even I answer the phone, of course, but
now I'm Justin's right hand man.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So that's great.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Well, you're a hard worker and you have a good nature.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
And you guys saw something in me.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No, you're just you're just a good person and you
want to work hard and you have an interest in learning,
so that's what you need.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's hard. It's hard to make it in radio. Yeah,
you would know it is.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I know.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I came in through the side door. I wasn't a
radio person. I was in PR for ten years, right,
and then I started as the executive producer and then
they threw me on the air.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
So you never know, truly.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I always believe like things were meant to be.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, I think, yes, I agree, And this is kind
of business where you like work from the ground up
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, which sucks, but you know.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I think most things, if they're going to be lasting
in your life, you're gonna have to learn how to
do everything and go from the ground up.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And just work hard for it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Just keep working hard, which.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Is what you're doing exactly. Yeah, that's why we do this,
just what.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We're all doing exactly. Yea, the whole team. So well,
this was fun.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yes, if you guys ever want us to answer questions
like this again, always DM Lisa, DM me, DM the
kiss account whatever, we're We're open to doing a podcast.
