## Resource

A revealing look at the film and the book "Miss O'Dell" with the book's author, Chris O'Dell, and the director of the film, Simon Weitzman. In the first part of the show, we go one-to-one with "Miss O'Dell" as she talks candidly about her adventurous life working for the Beatles at Apple and what led to the book becoming a movie. Then, in part 2, we'll bring in the director of "Miss O'Dell," Simon Weitzman, for a revealing look at how the movie was made and stories from Chris and Simon on the production of the film. You'll also hear more tales from Chris on working for The Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Queen and others. We'll close out the show with a brief Beatles news roundup.
