49: Mommy Dearest
This week, we're talking about the pains and perils of motherhood. And some real bad moms.
Along the way, we discuss the war room strategy for parenting, how Erin earns her son's respect, and how Amy wants a damn co-parent for Podcat.

Broads and Books is the funny and feminist book podcast you need in your life!
Each episode, Amy and Erin choose a unique theme. Then we choose two fiction books, two other genre books (short story collections, memoir, non-fiction, true crime, poetry, etc.), and two pop culture picks based on that theme. We surprise each other with our picks, talk about why we like them, and give you unexpected recommendations for every reading taste.
Along the way, we share embarrassing stories, pitch amazing-slash-crackpot business ideas, implicate ourselves in future crimes, check in on our Podcats, and so much more.
Broads and Books is fresh, funny, thought-provoking, and basically the best time you'll have all week.
