Takin’ A Walk celebrates Women’s History Month with a very special She Wrote the Book feature — and host Buzz Knight sits down with the one and only Carnie Wilson, the powerhouse vocalist and television personality whose voice helped define the sound of a generation. Carnie Wilson rose to fame as one-third of Wilson Phillips, the iconic vocal trio whose debut single “Hold On” became one of the best-selling singles of 1990, spending two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In this intimate and revealing conversation, Carnie opens up about growing up in the shadow of pop royalty, finding her own artistic voice, the creative chemistry between herself, Chynna Phillips, and Wendy Wilson, and how music has been both a refuge and a calling throughout her life.
