We'll share some funny videos that came across my Instagram that are tennis related.
Michael KostaHOST
First, I just want to quickly say my book, Lucky Loser, it was represented this weekend at the Milford Readers and Writers Festival in Milford, Pennsylvania.
Michael KostaHOST
An avid tennis player, humorist and cartoonist, Bob Eckstein was the moderator.
Michael KostaHOST
It was a Q&A and a moderated discussion about my book.
Michael KostaHOST
When we talk about tennis in places you wouldn't typically think to talk about tennis, such as Milford, Pennsylvania, they have a cute little town and they are doing their best to have some independently run festivals, which I love.
Michael KostaHOST
They have the Black Bear Film Festival.
Michael KostaHOST
They have the Milford Readers and Writers Festival.
Michael KostaHOST
They're always kind of trying to do things in a small town, and you get the sense they're doing it for the right reasons, and we just need to support small-town America.
Michelle NeelingHOST
Janet Deneaf was born in Australia and moved to Bali, Indonesia in her early 20s.
Michelle NeelingHOST
When the Bali bombings happened in 2002, Janet responded by starting the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, which has often been described as a human rights festival disguised as a writers festival and has become one of Southeast Asia's most significant literary events.
Michelle NeelingHOST
Every year, Janet and her team very carefully curate a program in which diverse voices are given a platform to have brave and insightful conversations about the most pressing issues of our time.
Michelle NeelingHOST
This conversation with Janet was recorded in front of a live audience on Janet's home turf in Ubud, Bali, where the 23rd Ubud Writers and Readers Festival will take place next month.

Hilary HarperHOST
I remember moving from the country to be hanging around the residential colleges and going, whoa, this is a different world.
Hilary HarperHOST
But I also saw Helen Garner at a Writers Festival once in a really interesting conversation saying that she was very angry when she wrote that book and maybe she would write it differently now.
Louise MilliganGUEST
Yeah, I think she probably would.
Louise MilliganGUEST
And I don't know that that book would actually be published in the form that it was now.
Hilary HarperHOST
But it's a really interesting role and it lets you read a ton of books.
Hilary HarperHOST
I have seen the boxes arrive for people who are doing judging and it gives you an amazing perspective.
