Episode 15

This episode starts with a wild night of Saturnalian lovemaking sure to get your pants in a bunch. Next you find Michele fending off an over-amorous—and married--neighbor who makes late night visits to escape his gun-wielding wife! You can’t make this stuff up. Next an old beau returns to restart their romance, invites our love heroine to spend a weekend away with him, but it turns out he’s become a scary guy with a drinking problem. To figure out how she can avoid all of these cads and attract some winners, Michele signs up for a Love Seminar in San Francisco. The course covers how to find good men to date and how to behave once you’re dating them. The teacher suggests the best method is to put a personal ad in the local papers—this was way before online dating—which leads to a crazy outcome. With all of her real estate marketing experience, Michele creates a humdinger ad that yields 189 responses. What she does with all of them will tickle your Cupid bone and make you reminisce about your own dating life.

About the Podcast

LoveCapades
The LoveCapades podcast is derived from the memoir of the same name written by Michele Musy. It’s the story of Michele’s life seen through the prism of her experiences of love in all its many forms. From the hilarious to the harrowing, it’s a kaleidoscope of colorful episodes told as a celebration of a life full of adventure and joie de vivre. As you will learn, Michele makes choices that are unexpected, leading to a string of wild outcomes as she travels the globe. She even ventures into the mystical realms in a continuing search to find her true identity.

The podcast consists of 21 episodes in which Michele reads directly from the memoir. She is joined by her co-host, Sally Kaplan, who does a masterful job introducing each segment, and then leading a Q & A session after each reading. Invariably, Sally gets Michele to reveal even more about her life experiences as she wrestles with her demons…and ultimately discovers how to love herself.

Born and raised within a mile of Stanford University, I still live close enough to walk to the campus. Pretty good karma I’d say. I’ve had many jobs through the years including high school English teacher, but my main profession has been Realtor…selling a zillion houses throughout the years in the heart of Silicon Valley. I’ve been an ardent traveler, gardener, bridge player, storyteller and basic lover of life. Fun is my middle name. During all of these endeavors I’ve had a passion for writing and a love of words—I see words as playthings, or as I like to call them, the Legos of communication. My latest writing undertaking is my romantic memoir which I call LoveCapades. Yes, a word I made up. And now I am thrilled to be the creator of the LoveCapades podcast. This has been a labor of love full of fun and joy. I hope you all catch some of that spirit as you listen!

For over twenty years I have been writing and producing for film and television and, with my husband, have run our documentary film company called Backcountry Pictures. I also love to support writers of all levels and backgrounds, teach creative writing classes, and edit books for small presses. Once in a while I will edit a book for a special individual. Such was the case when Michele found me through the writers’ network and asked me to edit her memoir LoveCapades. We had a lot of fun working together, and I was so captivated by Michele’s stories that when she decided to create a podcast from the book, she invited me to be her co-host. The whole experience has been a delight. I’m so excited to share the humor, warmth, adventure, lustiness, tenderness, and self-reflection of LoveCapades to a wide listening audience.
