Personal YEEZUS

I have known Zulekha Nathoo since journalism school. She is a TV and radio journalist who has interviewed a wide range of people from politicians like Stephen Harper to superstars like Gwyneth Paltrow. She's also one of the most equally humble and quietly ambitious people I've ever known.

Zulekha talks about the roots of her humility, living in L.A. with a journalist husband and a 3 year old, and is deeply honest about her struggle living as a Muslim in the United States.

WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID 
Michelle Parise, radio producer and creator of the CBC podcast Alone: A Love Story, never has nothing to say. Except for that one time when she didn't speak up for a friend at work who was being sexually harassed.

Zulekha Nathoo stays humble in L.A.

A recent article by Lareign Ward examined how romance novels could save straight sex.  Who knew it needed saving? Kath and Renee do love their romance novels and Diane never got into them. The three of us discuss the pros and cons of romance novels, make a few recommendations and Kath tells the story of what her uncle did to a Penny Jordan book.

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass and turn up the volume as three Toronto-based friends chat, grouch and cackle over a variety of topics -- paired, of course, with generous servings of alcohol.
