58: These Boots Are Made for Walkin'
We've got revenge coming in hot this week, and it's all because of our listener Amanda H. She wanted to hear about picks that satisfy that urge for payback, and we are here for it.
Also in the episode, Amy and Erin are talking about our revenge fears and fantasies. Plus, we check in on our quarantine selves, and imagine that epic hug when this is all over.
Don't forget to listen to the source of this week's episode title, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra. We'll just be over here reenacting that dance and spraining our ankles.

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.
