Hello, wonderfuls. Welcome to episode 19 of the JV club with my guest Grace Bonnie.

I am very excited about this. This episode I actually recorded, the same weekend that I recorded Connie Chung in New York

Both of those amazing women were available to meet with me when I was shooting something in New York last year and I was so lucky to get the opportunity to sit down with them but just to put

it into context of a time frame that was a little bit ago so you'll note no new games again this week because it's an older

episode but I do want to encourage everyone to check out the Pinterest JV club

identity I don't know identity I'm using a word like I have never heard of Pinterest before I'm aware of it I appreciated Jules is running that for me and us, all of us.

And I obviously would encourage you to go to the Facebook page as well.

But speaking to the Maria Bamford episode, thank you so much for all the amazing feedback that you guys sent.

So many lovely comments via

Twitter and Facebook and iTunes. I really really really appreciate it and I know

Maria does too. It's it could be a little scary to put

yourself out there in that way and it was just so amazing to get so many lovely

Sometimes when I'm recording these intros it feels like my swallowing is so belabored

that it takes like five times the normal amount of time it takes to just swallow. Anyway, listen, I want to

thank Caroline from Facebook, Tammy for your Facebook message, Liz and Ali for your Facebook and Twitter messages, Sam, who also left some beautiful iTunes

feedback.

Damon on Facebook, Ashley sent me a great email, Chris N, a lovely email. I already gave Jules a shout

out, but she's, I'm calling her an associate producer of the show at this point because she's

been helping me a lot and that the same goes for Heather and
