Liza Donnelly on Woodstock Writers Radio

liza on radioLast week, I was fortunate to be invited to talk on the radio with the author Martha Frankel for her radio show, Woodstock Writer’s Radio. We had a lot of laughs, but we also talked about serious issues like freedom of speech, humor, Hillary,  and Trevor Noah taking over the Daily Show.  She wanted to know what I was reading and who decides what I draw each week.  It was fun, and I plan to go back since she invited me!

Listen here:

“New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly talks about books that move her, and cartoons she’s glad she didn’t draw.”

Being On The Radio At WNYC

I love radio, particularly news radio.  The interviews, analysis, call-ins about issues in the news, local or national are all great, and what I listen to while I work. My favorite station is the New York City station WNYC, and in particular the afternoon show, The Leonard Lopate Show. I also like the Brian Lehrer Show in the mornings, too. The station loves New Yorker cartoonists, and have had them on the show numerous times over the years. I have done a lot of radio, usually connected to any new books I have. But I have never been invited to be on WNYC….until now. I was very lucky to be asked to be a guest on the Leonard Lopate Show to talk about my book, Women On Men, with guest host Anna Sale. It was great fun– Anna is a skilled interviewer with a devilish streak and great sense of humor.  One New York friend said to me when she heard that I was to be on WNYC, “You’re really famous now!”  Such is a true New York attitude.

Here is the interview:
