Happy Pub Day to Allison Winn Scotch! Her new book, Take Two, Birdie Maxwell is out now. In case you missed Part One of our interview with her, you can watch it here.

In addition to finally remembering who dined with us at Hugo’s that one night ten years ago (It was Julie Buxbaum!), in Part Two we discuss:

  • What Allison has going on in the film and TV world

  • What we’re all reading right now (Allison just finished a book where someone morphs into a shark!)

  • If you criticize a book online, please don’t tag the author! (“If someone doesn’t like the job Fletch does at work, they don’t go up to him and say, ‘I hate you and hope you die in a tire fire.’” — Jen)

  • Karyn’s panic attacks over fake nails and too much Botox (WHY IS AGING SO EXHAUSTING?)

  • TV show and podcast recommendations

Plus, we’re always obsessed with something over here at “It’s Always Something” — find out what Allison is obsessed with at the moment!

Please enjoy Part Two:
