_____

We're 50, so we can kick, stretch, and kick. And, just in time for Galentine's Day, we can revisit one of our favorite themes. 

Listen to the original Girls Gone Wild episode!

This time around, we're talking girls that have maybe gone wild. Plus, we remember times we've gone wild, Amy's new spa idea, and Erin's super weird teachers. And we check in on Podcat and her organ removal.

Our picks this week: 

Novels:

Amy: Jane Doe, Victoria Helen Stone

Erin: The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides

Other Books:

Amy: Camgirl, Isa Mazzei(Memoir)

Erin: The Vegetarian, Han Kang; Translated by Deborah Smith (Translated work)

Pop Culture:

Amy: This Way Up (Hulu TV series) 

Erin: Blood Ties (Podcast)

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.
