Canned Air #504 My Peacock Tale with Shelley Herman

Canned Air: A Tribute to Pop Culture

We welcome writer, producer, and author Shelley Herman this week to discuss her new book, My Peacock Tale: Secrets Of An NBC Page! Shelley talks about how she became an NBC Page, what inspired her to write her experiences into a book, getting to see Elvis live, her incredible encounters with John Travolta, Robin Williams, Paul McCartney, her thoughts on how television has evolved, and so much more!

More than a memoir, My Peacock Tale is a playful mix of "Sex and the City" and "Mad Men" – set against the backdrop of Hollywood (and beautiful downtown Burbank!) in the 1970s. It's not just about the stories and memories of Herman's own time as a 20-something NBC Studios Page in Burbank - handed "the keys to the kingdom" and assigned gatekeeper to showbiz royalty. It's also about the lifelong friendships she formed with fellow Pages, whose own wild and crazy formative experiences are also tastefully recounted and unabashedly celebrated.

This is a great conversation with a great guest that you don’t want to miss. Go to MyPeacockTale.com to find out more and get your copy!
