We welcome back author and journalist Saul Austerlitz, who we first had on the show in 2019 when he was promoting his book Generation Friends: An Inside Look at the Show That Defined a Television Era. He talked to Daniel Ford recently about his latest Kind of a Big Deal: How Anchorman Stayed Classy and Became the Most Iconic Comedy of the Twenty-First Century, which is available wherever books are sold, preferably your local independent bookseller.
“We see a lot of Jessica Savitch in Veronica Corningstone. And in telling these stories about the overwhelming misogyny of television news in that era and how women are treated.”
