Julia Gets Wise with Ruth Reichl

On this episode of Wiser Than Me, Julia gets enlightened by 75-year-old food writer, magazine editor, and author Ruth Reichl. From her infamous New York Times review of Le Cirque to greenlighting a controversial David Foster Wallace article in Gourmet, Ruth is as gutsy as they come. Ruth talks to Julia about living with a mom who has bipolar disorder, processing grief through food, and why you should always do things that scare you. Plus, Julia asks her mom Judith what to cook when Ruth accepts an invitation for dinner.

Rhea P. In conversation with JLD

So very entertaining. I love JLD podcasts. The interviews have many nuggets of information for those of us on our aging path. Thanks for doing these women’s podcasts.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a Godess

Just keeping’ it real, Folks! She is gutsy, witty, brilliant, beautiful, and authentic, or really good at projecting that she is being transparent and honest, and that’s all we really need, right? LOVE her, love her mother, love her guests!! Truly someone I admire. HOMERUN, Julia! Thank you for this, and for sharing part of you and all of these wonderful women with US! I turn 60 this August, and I am now embracing it rather than feeling defeated about it. No greater gift for “my 3rd act”. 🩷

Love these podcasts

Julia Louis Dreyfus is so fun to listen to. She has had some very interesting people on the podcasts. Very entertaining

My new favorite podcast!

Julia is magnificent in the way she interviews these brilliant trailblazers and invites them to share their deep wisdom with us. It’s about time older women’s voices were amplified in this way. Their insights, courage, vulnerability, compassion, and humor are gifts for the soul. I love Julia’s authentic, down to earth style. I can’t wait for more!
