He is also the coauthor of Hollywood: The Oral History (with Jeanine Basinger). Sam is here today to talk about FRANK CAPRA, his latest extraordinary biography of the great American artist and filmmaker. Sam made full use, for the first time, of Capra’s own archives, including deeply personal writings from his later years, and has brought this seminal artist into urgent life. This book is a dazzling portrait of both a lost America and an enduring one.

On today’s episode of You Are What You Read, we are excited to welcome Ari Emanuel to the podcast with his New York Times bestselling memoir, ROLL THE CALLS. Ari Emanuel is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished, feared—and funny—dealmakers who has some stuff he wants to get off his chest… He is the CEO and Executive Chair of TKO, the Executive Chairman of WME Group, and the Founder and Principal Investor of MARI. As Hollywood’s best-known super-agent—the inspiration for “Ari Gold” in the classic TV drama Entourage—he’s paid to speak for his A-list clients, not himself. Now, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the fero­cious power broker, speaks for himself, about himself, and about the game of life in ROLL THE CALLS.
