Episode 16 – Reading. Watching. Doing.

Welcome to the final episode of Season 1! FYI, this episode was recorded before literally all the things shut down thanks to COVID-19, so please excuse some of the missteps we make regarding the virus based on our knowledge at the time.

Sometimes, you just want to sit down and chat with a good friend about what they’ve been up to lately and this episode is just that. We’ve got Sarah and Melania on the mics talking about what they’ve been reading, watching, and doing. Bust out your Goodreads account and get ready to add some awesome books to your lists because we’re coming in hot with our recent recommendations.

We also laugh about the use of the term “wonky bits,” discuss how fake snow can actually start rotting, and make our case for how a particular NBC show would have been a huge sensation if it had debuted three years later.

As you are stuck indoors and trying to figure out what on earth to do these next few weeks, may our suggestions help you find some new favorite books and shows to enjoy!
