The bestselling author, restaurateur, television personality and food activist appears in a live conversation with actress Kate Hudson where they will discuss his newest cookbook "Together: Memorable Meals Made Easy." The aim of "Together" is to minimize the time spent in the kitchen and to maximize the opportunity for the home chef to mingle with guests.

The conversation will be available virtually on Wednesday, November 3, 2021, 6pmPT/9pmET.

The extraordinary life and legacy of legendary journalist Cokie Roberts—a trailblazer for women— is remembered by her friends and family in this virtual conversation on Tuesday, November 2, 6pmPT/9pmET. Steven V. Roberts, Cokie's husband of 53 years, is author of "Cokie: A Life Well Lived." He is joined in this panel discussion by Cokie's close friends and colleagues Nina Totenberg and Martha Raddatz , with Judy Woodruff as moderator. Cokie, who skyrocketed through glass ceilings at NPR and ABC, was a fixture on national television and radio for more than 40 years and wrote five bestselling books focusing on the role of women in American history. This loving tribute was penned not only to reflect on Cokie's many accomplishments, but to share how she lived each day with a devotion to help others, and how her private life was as significant and inspirational as her public one.

Actor and former White House staff member Kal Penn recounts his idiosyncratic life in a live conversation about his new book "You Can't Be Serious," a series of funny, consequential, awkward, and ridiculous stories. He appears onstage on Thursday, November 4 at 8pm, and the virtual session will be available on Wednesday, November 9 at 6pmPT/9pmET. As a grandson of Gandhian freedom fighters and the son of immigrant parents, Penn rejected his family's advice to pursue "something practical," and embarked on a surprising journey that has included acting, writing, working as a farmhand, teaching Ivy League University courses, smoking fake weed with a fake POTUS, before serving the country and advising a real one. As an Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, Penn served as President Obama's Liaison to Young Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and the Arts communities in America. Above all, "You Can't Be Serious" shows that everyone can have more than one life story. And oh yes, he accidentally took his entire White House department to a strip club.

Model, actress, activist, entrepreneur and writer Emily Ratajkowski talks about her first book "My Body" to award-winning journalist and bestselling author Elaine Welteroth in an onstage conversation on Thursday, November 11, 8pmPT. "My Body" is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality and power of men's treatment of women, and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. The essays chronicle Ratajkowski's life while investigating the culture's fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women's sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the grey area between consent and abuse. Welteroth, a judge on Bravo's "Project Runway" is known for her work at the helm of Teen Vogue, where in 2016, she was appointed the youngest ever Editor-in-Chief at a Conde Nast publication. The discussion will be presented virtually on Sunday, November 14, 6pmPT/9pmET.
