This week we're talking about the end of the world, a theme idea suggested by our amazing listener, Amy W! 

Our name this week of course comes from "It's the End of the World As We Know It (But I Feel Fine)," by R.E.M. 

Also in the episode, we're talking about Amy's obsession with apocalypse, what Erin would help destroy at the end, and embarrassing mixtape stories.

Our picks this week: 

Novels:

Amy: The Rending and the Nest, Kaethe Schwehn

Erin: The Heap, Sean Adams

Other Books:

Amy: Love is a Mixtape, Rob Sheffield (Memoir)

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.
