Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast.

Moms don't have time to read books.

Today's episode has been sponsored by pediatrician in your pocket at doctor-dash-gen.com.

Dr. Jennifer Tractenberg is a mother of three and a 20 plus year

pediatrician board certified who has called all of her amazing advice and made a series of five-minute

videos on everything from feeding and sleeping to safety and all types of parenting issues,

which basically every parent out there can use,

especially in the middle of the night when you can't reach your pediatrician. So this is like a must

do, and she's offering a discount to everyone with code PIP20. PIP20 is the code to get 20%

off of all of her modules.

So definitely go to doctor-dash-gen.com and check it out. It's also on a link in my website to Zibby-O-Ns.com. I'm excited to be here today with Alyssa Freeland in-Person and Kermit Roosevelt III via Skype for a new project called First Street,

which has been released on an app called Serial Box, S-E-R-I-A-L, Serial Box, which is an app that allows you to both read and toggle between reading and audio on your app.

And it's super cool, and full disclosure, I actually invested in Serial Box a little while ago

and think it's just the coolest. And this new property came out and it's going to be a TV show.

And it's just super cool. So the authors, there are actually six authors who collaborated to do

the First Street novel on Serial Box, Alyssa Friedland and Kermit Roosevelt, the third,

who I'm interviewing. Also, Jasmine Guillory, Catherine, McKenzie, Randy Susan Myers, and Sean Clemperins. So today I'm with Alyssa Friedland, who's the author of three novels, Love and Miscommunication, The Intermission, and the Floating Feldman's. I actually already interviewed Alyssa for the intermission. A graduate of Yale University, where she was the managing editor of the Yale Daily News and Columbia Law School,

Alyssa started her career working at a law firm before moving to writing full-time after the birth of her second child.

She has contributed to many publications, including New York, Modern Bride, Real Simple, and The Washington Post.

She grew up in New Jersey and currently lives in New York City with her husband and three children.

Kermit Roosevelt III, who goes by the name Kim, is a writer, author, lawyer, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

His novels include in the shadow of the law and allegiance.
