Listen "Daisy Goodwin"
Episode Synopsis
Screenwriter and novelist Daisy Goodwin joins Gordon Smart as the two turn their attention to the subject of Daisy’s new book Diva; the infamous Maria Callas.
The pair discuss the opera sensation’s career, life and legacy, and why she remains a huge inspiration to modern women.
Born in 1923, Maria was “what you might call a girl boss today, she always knew her own value and that is something I think very few women do.”
“Wherever she played in the world, people would queue up for weeks to get tickets, she was an event, like a Taylor Swift.”
