so you're a tina fey fan sean? you might like this hour long compilation of an npr and kitchen sisters project called 'the hidden world of girls - girls and the women they become.'
they have a very succinct and enticing description: "stories of coming of age, rituals and rites of passage, secret identities - of women who crossed a line, blazed a trail, changed the tide."
I'm sorry to say that tina fey really bugged me in this compilation - and I normally love her! for me, she popped up a little too much saying the same thing. there are some really funny and surprising stories in this mix, and you can listen and explore the stories individually on the project's website.
in this compilation, I particularly enjoyed 'girls who hunt', russia's singing babushkas (a clever insight into the lives of elderly russian village women that also made me smile), this story about a woman who takes photographic portraits of american inmates and finally, 'in the west bank, women with a need for speed'.
I've been watching a bit of louis c.k's show louis lately, and his take on parenting always makes me laugh. here, he tries to teach his daughter about the importance of apologising.
I love the episode where louis c.k. on a whim wants to buy a beautiful Manhattan mansion 'cause his daughters would love it, has a meeting with his bank manager who says "you've only got $50 in your account". Endearingly, but utterly deluded, louis argues that $50 is all he needs to get the ball rolling!
