Summary
Trish & Lorraine talk to Jodi Picoult - one of the most read living authors with 40 million books sold worldwide - about her new novel, in which she suggests it was a woman who wrote most of Shakespeare’s plays. And the 58-year old mum of three and grandma of two reveals why she’s compelled to tackle the most pressing political and social issues of the day, including reproductive rights, school shootings, death row inmates, race relations and gay rights in her groundbreaking novels. She also tells the duo about the best present she’s ever been given and the song that always gets her on the dancefloor. Plus: Must watch TV shows, happy hibernating habits & why air fryers are a teen’s best friend
