## Resource

Lori gears up to co-host with Jason Matheson on myTalk 107.1 as she and Julia break down the biggest celebrity news and pop culture stories of the week, from Kanye West’s ongoing controversies and reputation comeback to the buzzy premieres of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island and the reboot of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. They react to Savannah Guthrie’s return to the Today Show, recap the gripping Dark Winds finale, and share Easter highlights before diving into a stacked book roundup featuring Strangers by Belle Burden, Good People by Patmeena Sabit, Falling by T.J. Newman, April’s “Bookapalooza” picks, and a spotlight on The Book Witch. The episode also unpacks the latest developments in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni legal drama — and why Lively may face an uphill battle — while celebrating Brian Cox as the ultimate interview guest, including his unforgettable Wuthering Heights commentary.
