S6 Ep215: Kate and Katherine Catch Up + Featured Book A Boy and His Bear by Gregory Ladner

After last episode's recording fail, there's a lot to discuss! Kate's dipping her toe into TIKTOK, Katherine's reading a LOT of uplifting fiction/non-fiction, plus the hosts talk debut author experiences -- have things changed since their books came out?

This episode the featured book is brought to you by BFredericksPR and Gregory Ladner.

Gregory Ladner is one of Australia’s most enduring fashion designers, with a career spanning over four decades across Australia, Europe, and Asia.

From humble beginnings designing outfits and dressing his teddy, to studying fashion at university, Gregory has worked as an Australian couturier, for legendary Melbourne institute Le Louvre and as an international designer who once worked in Hong Kong. Gregory was the creator and designer of the hugely successful fashion accessory company, Gregory Ladner, which is still available in major department stores around the country.

We're delighted to talk to Gregory about his memoir A Boy and his Bear.
