56: I Wanna Be Adored

Note: We recorded this gem of an episode before we entered quarantine! Enjoy the sound of real microphones and in-person contact - the next few episodes will be appropriately socially distanced via the interwebs.
_____
This week we're talking about fame. Getting it, living with it, bad behavior from it... we got it all. Just listen to "I Wanna Be Adored" by the Stone Roses, and you'll understand. 

Also in the episode, we're talking about Teen Beat, the worst jobs in show biz, and what Amy's first public meltdown will be like.

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.
