90: Love is a Battlefield

The perils of love! These books and pop culture picks lay it all out in incredible ways. 

Plus, we consider how we'd fare on the ultimate battlefield of love, The Bachelor. Spoiler alert: we'd bring a certain unforgettable energy.

Watch "Love is a Battlefield," the Pat Benatar masterwork with an epic dance fight, which inspired this week's theme.

Broads and Books is a book podcast. A funny podcast. A feminist podcast. And one of the BEST podcasts.

Each week 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.
