An interview that goes off the rails, reviews, our San Francisco branch checks in! Wow!

From her Wikipedia entry:

But that doesn’t begin to cover our knife wielding interview. Liz is the first guest to show up “heavy” to an interview. She was none-the-less delightful and wacky to talk to. Amanda and Liz have a battle royalle and end up pals! This interview is a non-stop action fest loaded withconfessional jaw dropping moments. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it will become a part of you. You’ll listen again and again. It’s downright worthy of Chicago Anti-Social.
