Titling their presentation “Awkward Holidays and Inappropriate Traditions,” Blood and Wood will bring their wry take on life and holidays to an evening that will invite the audience to laugh, cry, explore, and connect.

“Susan and Ira are both valued and talented members of the WOMR family, and having this opportunity to hear them share thoughts and societal critiques together is going to be great fun,” says John Braden, executive director of WOMR. “Listeners to the radio station are already familiar with their irreverent take on life, politics, and kitchen gadgets, and I’m looking forward to attending this show!”

Wood, the host of The Lowdown and contributor to Outer Cape News has been compared to Dave Barry and David Sedaris, and shares five-minute Andy Rooney-esque essays on air; his thoughtful take on life and humanity, The Lowdown, airs Tuesdays at 12:30. Blood’s work has appeared in numerous publications, including her own blog, Trout Towers. On WOMR she is Opera Betty, hosting an opera show for people who hate opera.

Admission is free but donations are appreciated. Books will be available to purchase from both writers with proceeds benefitting the nonprofit community radio station. The Left Bank Gallery is located at 8 Cove Road in Orleans.
