Writers Bloc presents Alyssa Mastromonaco with Jon Favreau, Tommy Vietor and Erin RyanFormer Obama Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonoco talks about women in politics and other matters with Pod Save America founders Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor, and "Hysteria" podcast host Erin Ryan
After leaving the Obama White House as the youngest Deputy Chief of Staff, Alyssa Mastromonaco’sgoal was to encourage more women to run for office and to work for those who serve. Flash forward to the 2018 midterms, and it’s clear she accomplished her goal. In her new book, So Heres The Thing: Notes on Growing Up, Growing Older, and Trusting Your Gut, Mastromonaco tackles the thorny issues of working women, politics, pop culture and more. She is known not only for her savvy at helping to run the White House in the Obama years, but also for her quick humor and keen insight on issues facing us today. Alyssa’s first book, Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? jumped to the bestseller lists because you cant beat her stories. She serves on the board of NARAL, and is now an integral part of Crooked Media, the company behind Pod Save America and other wildly popular podcasts.
In conversation with Erin Gloria Ryan, Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor. Erin Gloria Ryan is a comedian and hosts the podcast Hysteria on Crooked Media. Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor are two of the four founders of Crooked Media and two of the four leading voices of Pod Save America. What a night.

Writers Bloc presents former U.S. Attorney Preet BhararaFormer U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, asks how we can exercise truth and justice in the courts and in our daily lives. Receive MCLE credit from the State Bar of California if you'd like.
Shortly after his inauguration in 2017, President Trump fired Preet Bharara, former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, after Bharara refused former Attorney Jeff Sessions’ request that he and 45 other US Attorneys resign. Bharara was widely known as one of the most aggressive prosecutors in the country, going after public corruption, terrorism, drug lords, financial industry crimes, organized crime and more. He was also party-blind in his prosecutions: once Chief Legal Counsel to Senator Chuck Schumer, Bharara played no political favorites; he dogged Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office for financial improprieties. Bharara’s new book, Doing Justice, examines our legal system through case histories and personal stories, how and why it really works, and asks critical ethical questions in prosecuting crimes and in dealing with daily life. Preet Bharara’s podcast, Stay Tuned with Preet, is hugely popular, attracting hundreds of thousands of listeners per episode.
Moderator to be announced shortly.
