Listen "Add It Up"
Episode Synopsis
This week, we're adding up all our grudges, and considering books and pop culture picks where the addition may be just too much to handle. Plus, we're using Excel for our mental health, planning our villainous futures, and relating hard to Steve Buscemi from Billy Madison. We also get a visit from Louise the Podcat, who reminds Amy how stupid human skin is. Listen to "Add It Up," the song from Violent Femmes that inspired this week's theme. (And here's the clip from Reality Bites with the early '90s smokeshow Ethan Hawke singing "Add It Up")_____A Broad's book: Order Dig Me Out by our own Amy Lee Lillard now! _____Our picks from Broads and Books Episode 102: Add It UpNovels:Amy: The Husbands, Chandler Baker Erin: Convenience Store Woman, Sayaka Murata (Translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori) Other Books:Amy: Tales the Devil Told Me, Jen Fawkes (watch our recent Broads and Books event with Jen!)Erin: The Stepford Wives, Ira Levin Pop Culture: Amy: Timeless (Hulu)Erin: Love Fraud (Showtime/Amazon)_____Broads and Books is the funny and feminist book podcast you need in your life!
