Happy New Year, Readers!
I trust that for you, like me, the late December break feels like it was months, not days ago. The 60-degree weather here in NYC contributes to that, as does the fun yet always surprising and sometimes overwhelming re-entry into the long winter stretch called January.
To make the weeks pass 'til whatever it is you're looking forward to (my birthday? Black History Month? Spring Break?) or other festive and celebratory event, here is some of the media I've consumed on various plane rides, nurse-a-cold early bedtime sessions, the endless meal prep/dishwasher loading/unloading in the kitchen, and the car:
Film:
Little Women: yes, I have a screener so I didn't see it in the theater, but you should.
TV:
Cheer: the best docu-series--story, cast, arc-- I have seen in a long while and one, a rare event, that I'm jealous I had nothing to do with!
The Politician: it's taken me quite a while to understand that this Ryan Murphy show isn't his version of House of Cards which the name and marketing made me think, but is a delicious high school soap: 'Glee' meets 'Election.'
Audio:
The Dream: Season 2: I loved season 1 which was about good old fashioned "MLM's," or pyramid selling schemes, but the first couple of episodes about the wellness industry are relatable and made me think. I thought Episode 2 was one of the best podcast episodes of any series. If you are stuck in the all-politics or mostly-crime (blech) loop, just listen to this one ep and see.
For a quick re-visit to something you may have missed over the Holidays, I really enjoyed this episode of This American Life. Ira Glass' intro was for me the best part, so just listen to that if you don't have time for another hour. It struck home, so to speak, as both a child and a parent.
Book:
'Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead,' by Olga Tokarczuk. Cheery title, I know! She won the Nobel Prize so I'm not exactly uncovering undiscovered territory, but I just loved this book. It's Olive Kittredge-esque, but even more poetic, with a little 'Fargo' thrown in.
Hopefully you are excited that the Newsletter is back after my holiday / new year break. Put it back into your Sunday routine as you peruse today’s most important, thought-provoking news about women in politics, news, business, media, health, the arts, and pop culture. Hand-picked by me, for you.

The LZ Sunday Paperâ„¢ launched at the dawn of 2014. We expose and recirculate interesting content that is about, and frequently by, women in business, with a dose of ultra-relevant culture. We think that culture comes high and low, not much in between. Our audience is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect to deliver at least one good laugh. Send suggestions, clips, or names of people you think might enjoy this to LZSundayPaper@gmail.com.
