Author Charlie Sheen on Fail Better with David Duchovny
Charlie Sheen is an actor perhaps known just as well for his off-screen antics as his on-screen performances. In his new memoir, The Book of Sheen, Charlie is finally coming clean on what was going on during his years of hard drugs, public divorces, and on-set disputes that came to define his later career and reputation. These days, humility, gratitude, and sobriety have come to replace his meme-able bravado. Sitting on stage with him at the 92nd Street Y in NYC, he and David Duchovny shared jokes and jabs as David sought to discover why he chose to tell his story now — and why he took such a unique literary approach. Plus, they discuss the turning point that sent him on the road to recovery, and Charlie tells us what his one “do-over” in life would be — the answer might surprise you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Author Arundhati Roy on Talk Easy
“Sometimes I feel that I’m not going to write again,” says Arundhati Roy, “but then it becomes harder to keep quiet than to write it.” Few writers have bridged the personal and political as powerfully as Arundhati Roy. With her first memoir, fittingly titled Mother Mary Comes to Me, she turns to her turbulent relationship with her late mother, Mary Roy, a pioneering feminist who reshaped Indian law. This incredible conversation with Sam Fragoso on Talk Easy covers the book, and so much more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
