  • This week, we had the pleasure of chatting with Sarah Royal about her beautifully written biography of Lucille Ball: ‘AKA Lucy: The Dynamic and Determined Life of Lucille Ball’.
    Sarah truly captures Lucy’s life, character and grit in this colorful coffeetable book.
    There are images and easy to follow chapters to keep up with the aforementioned determined life of Lucy - the woman behind the successful redheaded character we’ve come to cherish and love all these years later.

    She tells us of how she came to love Lucy, how long it took to put it all together and how she was able to get Amy Poehler to write the forward! Such a great conversation.

    Sarah’s Book:

  • We are near the end of 2022 and we have had a ton of fun on Having A Ball Podcast this year! This week, we are throwing it back a year and Erika has chosen her favorite episode from December 2021 - interview with George Pennacchio of ABC7, Los Angeles.
    (Description from December 20, 2021):
    As the streaming premiere date on Amazon Prime of ‘Being The Ricardos’ approaches, Erika of Having A Ball Podcast chats with ABC7 News (Los Angeles) Entertainment reporter, George Pennacchio.

    Not only does George have an extensive career in Los Angeles covering and Interviewing Hollywood’s A-list celebrities, he is a huge Lucille Ball fan with an enviable collection of Lucy memorabilia.

    We chat about what how his love of Lucy began, some of the items he has collected for many years and his thoughts on the newly released ‘Being The Ricardos’,.

    He tells us about interviewing Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem and the extensive research they did to capture the essence of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

  • This week we had the pleasure of speaking with the authors of ‘Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography’, Carol M. Ford and Linda Groundwater. As a follow-up to our podcast episode last summer about Bob Crane, we finally connected with these fabulous ladies!
    To say this is an extensive look at the life, legacy and mysterious death of Bob Crane is an understatement.
    They tell us of the 12-year journey they were on to finally have the book published-
    which included: countless hours, extensive interviews (over 200!) and an obvious labor of love, this was a fun and educational conversation.

  • This week's episode recap is Season 2, Episode 9: 'Ricky Loses His Voice'.
    As we dive into the episode, we see Ricky unable to stage a show due to losing his voice from what seems like a cold or flu of some kind.
    Lucy sees this as an opportunity to put on a vaudevillian review using the same dancers from 1927 (it's now 1952).
    The episode focuses on the difference between men and women when bedridden with a cold or other ailments.
    We chat about the dancers, who are familiar 'I Love Lucy' background stand-ins.
    This is a fun Charleston-esque episode.
    How do you handle being sick?
