Author Laura Bird takes us through the genre of memoirs. She explains how they’re different than an autobiography—and she recommends several types of memoirs for your summer reading list. We’ll also talk to John Peterson and Gordy Young, John & Gordy from our Civic Media station in Madison, about stories and events shaping the upcoming summer season around the capital city.
