TABLE READ: My Lady’s Song
Written by Dan Lauria
New York. Late-night Eighth Avenue. Strip clubs, limos, politicians, porn stars, and ghosts of the old neighborhood.
My Lady’s Song drops you straight into the smoky, blood-soaked underbelly of a city that doesn’t forgive and never forgets.
Sal “The Barber” Marino is an aging ex-soldier of the streets — a limo driver who once did twelve years without talking. Now he drives high-end clients and keeps his head down. But when a powerful senator, a pair of porn stars, and a blackmail tape collide during sensitive union negotiations, Sal is pulled back into a world he thought he left behind.
This is not a nostalgia piece.
This is loyalty versus survival.
Old code versus new money.
Family versus leverage.
Set against a soundtrack style of Billie Holiday, Etta James, Dinah Washington, and Bessie Smith, My Lady’s Song moves like Goodfellas at midnight and feels like The Sopranos when the jokes stop being funny.
What starts as a simple drive to Los Angeles turns into a reckoning — with betrayal, with memory, and with the cost of keeping your mouth shut.
Nobody in podcasting is bringing this level of writing, performance, and cinematic scope.
This is prestige drama.
Performed. Not narrated.
Hollywood caliber. Start to finish.
