🎙️ Episode 26, Part 1: So, You Want to Write a Book? Here’s What Nobody Tells You.
Everybody has a great idea for a book.
Then you actually have to write it.
This week, we’re taking you behind the scenes of what it really takes to turn an idea into an actual novel.
First person or third? How long should a chapter be? How much research is enough? And what happens when the characters YOU created start telling YOU what they would and wouldn’t do?

Lisa shares how The Brooklyn Witch: The Battle for Brooklyn went from an idea to a finished novel, what she’s learning while writing Book Two, and Jim joins in with what he’s discovering as he works on his own first book.

Eventually, after all the writing, rewriting, researching, and second-guessing, you finally type:
THE END.
You’re finished!
Right?
Not even close.

🎙️ Episode 26, Part 1 is available now on Spotify and YouTube

Next Week: Part 2 — You Wrote the Book. Now What?

Scroll. Skip. Swipe. Repeat. 📱📺
We skip the intro. Fast-forward the commercials. Scroll past anything that doesn’t grab us immediately. And waiting a whole WEEK for the next episode? Forget it.
But if our attention spans are really getting shorter, how can we binge six episodes in one night?
This week, we’re talking about cliffhangers, boredom, TV theme songs, whole albums, slow-burn movies, TikTok, Reels, and the endless fight for our attention.
Maybe our attention spans aren’t broken.
Maybe we’re just more selective about what deserves them.

Remember when you could just DO something without downloading an app first? 📱
Dinner? App. Banking? App. Parking? App. Dating? App. Directions? App.
This week, we’re asking: Do all of these things REALLY need an app?
We’re talking about the apps that made life easier, the ones we can’t live without, and the ones that somehow made simple things more complicated.

🚨 THE INTERNET IS DOWN.
Not for an hour. Not until you reboot the router.
FOR SEVEN DAYS. 😳
No Google. No GPS. No Amazon. No streaming. No social media.
Now what?!
We’re breaking out the phone book, unfolding the road map and trying to remember how the hell we did ANYTHING before the internet. 😂
And then there’s the bigger question...
What would we actually get BACK?

Before there was a “Skip Intro” button, there were television openings we couldn’t wait to watch. 📺🎶
This week, we’re talking about the theme songs, opening credits, narrations, and movie openings that became part of pop culture.
From The Brady Bunch, Gilligan’s Island, and Cheers to The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, James Bond, and more...

Which theme can you STILL sing by heart?
And which opening would you NEVER skip?

Remember when the opening credits were part of the fun? When you knew every word to the theme song and wouldn’t DREAM of skipping it?

This week, we’re going back to the TV themes, opening credits and movie openings we still remember decades later.

Thank you for being a friend. ❤️
Some friends grow up together. Some meet at work. Some start as neighbors, or even rivals. And some become the family we choose.
🎙️ Episode 21: Thank You for Being a Friend
This week on Life According to Lisa (and Jim too!), we’re celebrating friendship and some of TV’s most unforgettable duos and groups, from The Golden Girls and Friends to Seinfeld, Cheers, Star Trek and more.
Why do some TV friendships feel so real? And why do we actually miss them when the show ends?
Because friendships aren’t measured by how they begin. They’re measured by how long they stay in our hearts. ❤️

Sometimes the best ideas don’t come from a business plan...

They begin with a simple conversation.
Jim and I are incredibly honored to be featured in this week’s Herald for our podcast, Life According to Lisa (and Jim too!).

What started as everyday conversations about books, storytelling, television, pop culture, Brooklyn, food, creativity, and the memories that shape us has grown into a weekly podcast that continues to surprise us with every episode.

If you’ve followed me through the years from Lee Lee’s Valise to writing The Brooklyn Witch to speaking at libraries and now podcasting, you’ve been part of this journey. I truly appreciate every person who has supported my creative adventures along the way.

A heartfelt thank you to Abigail Grieco and the Oceanside/Island Park Herald for sharing our story.
We’re excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to keep the conversations going.

🎙️ Life According to Lisa (and Jim too!) is available on Spotify and YouTube or just visit theBrooklynWitch.com

🍕 In Pizza We Crust 🍕
Pizza isn’t just food...
It’s Friday nights. It’s birthday parties. It’s Little League. It’s first dates. It’s family movie nights. It’s the neighborhood pizzeria where everyone knew your order.
This week on Life According to Lisa (and Jim too!), we’re celebrating the slices, the memories, and the legendary pizzerias that shaped our lives. We also settle a few great pizza debates...
🍍 Does pineapple belong on pizza?
🍕 Fold it... or use a knife and fork?
🏆 Which pizzeria belongs in the Pizza Hall of Fame?
Because in the end...
Every slice tells a story.
🎙️ Listen now on Spotify and YouTube.
