"You know what? I'm 61. I'm not going to put up with a lot of shit anymore." - Heidi Mastrogiovanni   This episode is brought to you in collaboration with  Beer Choir Twin Cities' Galentine's Day fundraiser for Voices of Hope.   Today's interview features Heidi Mastrogiovanni, the author of Lala Pettibone: Standing Room Only. Her two Lala Pettibone books have been called rebirth stories for their comedic approaches to life and dating after widowhood. A dedicated animal welfare advocate and staunch supporter of feminist politics, Heidi resides in Los Angeles with her husband and rescued senior dogs. Our conversation covers the political climate, the power and value of intergenerational feminist conversations, how comedy and feminism go hand-in-hand, and the process of writing fiction, especially when that fiction mirrors your own reality.  Get your copy of Heidi's books, Lala Pettibone's Act Two and Lala Pettibone: Standing Room Only. Connect with Heidi and learn more about her work on her website, Twitter, and Facebook.
