The Andy Warhol Diaries with Anne-Marie Guarnieri

02/10/25 • 62 min

Beauty editor and creative director Anne-Marie Guarnieri shares the book that made her want to move to New York City as a teenager - The Andy Warhol Diaries. She and host Rebecca Thandi Norman dive into the format of the diary (it's written by someone else), the tone of the entries, and how reading the diary can change one's perspective on Andy Warhol as both an artist and a human being. It's a nearly-thousand page tome that's just weird and propulsive enough to make you want to read the whole thing!

Playing for Keeps with Michael V. Pina

Senior Staff Writer at "The Ringer" Michael V. Pina share the book that showed him what he could do one day, if he worked hard - write about basketball. Playing for Keeps by David Halberstam is the seminal 1999 sports biography that's not exactly a biography - it's about basketball, it's about the NBA, and it's about how sports brings people together. Michael talks through what he loves about the game, if he really thinks Michael Jordan is the GOAT, and the exact moment this book changed his life (it was on an airplane!).

And what is a book about Michael Jordan, if we never hear the voice of Michael Jordan? His absence is a question mark that lingers throughout the book....
