BONUS! The Broads Talk Books With: Adrienne Brodeur, Author of Wild Game
Every week, in our regular Broads and Books episodes, we tell you about our favorite books based on different weekly themes. And we got to thinking: the authors that write the books we love? They probably love books too. We should ask them about it!
So welcome to our new BONUS series: The Broads Talk Books With. This is where we talk to some of the authors we’ve recommended, or will recommend soon, and nerd out about books.
Today, we’ve got Adrienne Brodeur. She has a new book out called Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover and Me, which we recommended in Episode 40!
Plus: All the books she mentions? Find them below!
We've got some great authors coming your way in this new BONUS series. Hit subscribe now in your favorite podcast player, and every episode of this bonus series will come to you direct. Like magic.

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.
