I hope she writes better than she talks

Sorry, but I had to turn this segment off. I realize I'm not in your demographic (well-educated but too old and black) but I was stunned by the level of self-reference and 20-something narcissism in this conversation.

This is still public radio: no excuse for not having something to say that's not entirely dependent on watching the exact same television shows.

But I moved to the off switch because this woman simply can't speak. Way, way too many "you knows" and "like"s that make every other period-lacking sentence literally pointless.
No way to sell a book!
