A Tell-All from Hillary Clinton's Former Ghostwriter

The Leonard Lopate Show | Mar 2, 2017

Barbara Feinman Todd, professor and founding journalism director at Georgetown University and a former ghostwriter for politicians and journalists, joins us to discuss her memoir Pretend I’m Not Here: How I Worked with Three Newspaper Icons, One Powerful First Lady, and Still Managed to Dig Myself Out of the Washington Swamp. Feinman Todd spent much of her early career working behind-the-scenes with people like Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Ben Bradlee and Hillary Clinton. She details how she spent a lifetime helping other people tell their stories, from finishing Carl Bernstein’s memoir Loyalties, to writing much of then-First Lady Hillary Clinton’s bestselling book It Takes a Village.
