In this episode 373, multi-talented Charlotte author Molly Grantham returns to the podcast to share Practice Makes… Progress, the third and final book in her series of essay collections. This book records her experiences with everything from giving birth at the height of the pandemic and reporting tragedies on television, to savoring beach time with family and navigating her toddler’s quirky obsessions. The Charlotte Observer says that in her writing, Molly proves “she is as gifted at telling tales about motherhood as she is at delivering the news on television every night.”
