11: Girls from the Future (with Molly Lambert)

SUDDENLY: a Frank Sinatra podcast

The iconic Molly Lambert joins us from Los Angeles, ostensibly to discuss Sinatra's classic MGM musical ANCHORS AWEIGH (1945). In her unique & irrepressible style, Molly leads us on a freewheeling three-hour adventure through her inner universe of celebrity culture, film, music, sex, gender, capitalism and the secret history of the city she loves. Her podcast HeidiWorld: The Heidi Fleiss Story is now streaming everywhere. Recommended by Molly: In a Lonely Place by Dorothy B.
