Exploding Hushpuppies with Leslie Anne Tarabella

Dec 7, 2021 | The Professional Noticer

This week, Andy hosts Leslie Anne Tarabella—Award Winning Columnist and Author

Tune in to hear Leslie Anne and Andy reflect on their oddly similar lives while growing up in Alabama.

Leslie Anne also discusses what it’s like working on weekly deadlines for her column in the newspaper—including coming up with ideas, writing, editing, and occasionally using her husband’s wrong doings at home for a laugh!

You’ll also hear a story from her book Exploding Hushpuppies: More Stories from Home detailing an incident where she let her husband, Bob, cut a few inches of her hair… of course, he cut a little more than she bargained for that day.

Find more from Leslie Anne at her website LeslieAnneTarabella.com, and pick up a copy of her books Exploding Hushpuppies and The Majorettes Are Back in Town!

Then be sure to connect with her on all things social:
