Julia Gets Wise with Amy Tan

On this episode of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down with 71-year-old author Amy Tan. Amy tells Julia how she’s learned to deal with the expectations following her successful debut novel The Joy Luck Club, the power of an apology, and the practical ways she’s preparing for getting older. And Julia and her mom Judith recall the disastrous first time Judith met Julia’s future husband Brad.

If you want to laugh out loud, listen to Julia!

I enjoy how she begins the podcast by telling her own stories, which are fascinating. And they lead right into the next guest and they’re topics.

Love!

This is a wonderful podcast. And I have so many ideas of women for her to interview: the owner of the New Orleans Saints, a female astronaut or someone in NASA, a former prima ballerina, Anne Tyler…so many women, so little time.
