In this special episode I speak to Amy Greene and Joshua Greene . 
Amy was married to Milton Greene , Marilyn Monroes' business partner in Marilyn Monroe Productions. 
Marilyn lived with the Greenes at the height of her fame between 1954-1957 
It was Amy's  92nd birthday when we spoke.

If you're looking for something to read or a Netflix series to binge, we're talking about our recommendations for books, shows, and podcasts in this episode. What better way to spend some time as you're social distancing or quarantining, than to curl up with books by Lee Smith, Ron Rash, Silas House, Wiley Cash, Amy Greene, Rick Bragg, Anne Lamott, Katherine Howe, Francene Rivers and more? (We also talk about that bestselling "hillbilly" book and what you need to know if you're considering reading it.) Hear why Peaky Blinders is Amy's favorite Netflix series, and what Brittany thought after watching Tiger King.
Bonus: we begin with a little bit of mountain lore as we discuss Lee Smith. Have you heard the one about a bird in the house?
