TeensleuthTo the Best of Our Knowledge is a show on Wisconsin Public Radio in the US and is described as "two hours of smart, entertaining radio for people with curious minds." I've subsribed to the podcast and yesterday listened to the show Brazen Women which I think will appeal to Trashionista readers. (You don't have to subscribe, you can listen online.)

There's a discussion of the Nancy Drew phenomenon including an interview with Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her author Melanie Rehak and also Chelsea Cain talks about her book Confessions of A Teen Sleuth: A Parody.

The show also features an interview with Ariel Levy, author of Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture. Nuala O'Faolain talks about her book, The Story of Chicago May, the true story of a 19th century Irish immigrant who became a con-woman and crook and Ann Blackman discusses Wild Rose: Rose O'Neale Greenhow, Civil War Spy: A True Story, about a woman who became a social power in Washington and ran a successful spy ring for the Confederacy.

But it's not just this one episode, authors are frequently featured. Lions, Witches and Wizards features Geraldine McCaughrean and Eoin Colfer, Fictional Fun features Jennifer Weiner, in The Book Business, Zadie Smith talks about the authors she admires and YA author Lauren Myracle appears on Speech Rules!
