If 'Smart Girls' & 'Chip' Ran the 🌎

Meredith Walker has spent her career helping tell stories that make us laugh, think, and occasionally spit coffee across the room.

She’s an award-winning television producer who worked during what I personally consider one of the greatest eras of Saturday Night Live—an era that gave us unforgettable characters, legendary sketches, and enough quotable moments to survive every awkward family gathering ever since.

But that’s just the beginning.
She is also the co-founder of Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls alongside her best friend, chosen sister, and podcast royalty herself, Amy Poehler. Amy even wrote the foreword to Meredith’s brand-new book released earlier this month—
Today we’re talking about friendship, creativity, storytelling, building communities around vulnerability, humor and grace. And Yall know we need more of ALL THREE.

So grab a beignet... if you're lucky enough, pour yourself a cup of CDM coffee, and try not to accidentally audition for Saturday Night Live while listening. lolol #guilty

Be Yourself and Other Bad Advice: A Teen Girl's Guide to Unlearning the Rules

Being a teen girl can be confusing and frustrating—luckily Meredith Walker created this guide to show how to dig deep, find what's important to you, and use that authenticity to make the world a better place.                                                   Published by our friends at Workman Pub Kids.

From us and our friends at Cafe Du Monde, it’s my pleasure to welcome producer, author, storyteller, and all-around force of nature…
Meredith Walker! ☕📚✨🎉

Then later we welcome one of my most beloved Disney characters of ALL TIME to the show. So... dim the lights. Shhhh. And be.... our.... guest- 

🎙️✨ Some kids grow up pretending to be Disney characters. Today's guests actually became them.
If you've ever fallen in love with Disney's Beauty and the Beast, then you've met Chip—the lovable, energetic little teacup who somehow manages to steal every scene he's in.

Across stages throughout America, two talented young performers shared one of Disney's most iconic children's roles, bringing magic, laughter, and heart to audiences night after night as Chip in Disney's Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.

Today we're talking about life behind the curtain, the excitement of performing for thousands, the friendships formed on tour, and what it's like to carry on the legacy of one of Disney's most beloved characters.

So grab a cup of coffee from our friends at Cafe Du Monde—because today we're serving tea... from the teacup himself.

Please welcome Broadway's Chips, Levi Blaise and Kanoa Edgar! ☕✨🎭
