Venture back to September 2023 where we talked to our friend Geraldine DeRuiter about the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel. This episode was joy.
We've wanted to do this episode for The Longest Time: we talk about Billy Joel!! WE LOVE HIM, and so does our guest, culture writer Geraldine DeRuiter. We talk about the relatability, joy, and thoughtfulness of his music, and why it holds up. Such fun.
Geraldine DeRuiter is the James Beard Award-winning food and culture writer behind Everywhereist.com and the author of All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft and If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury (which Lynne listened to on Audible and was sad when it was over). Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The New Yorker’s “Daily Shouts,” Marie Claire, and Refinery 29, and a few other places.
You can find Geraldine at her website, The Everywherist, on Facebook, and Instagram.
