by Kennedy Weible and Rebecca Weible

Season 2

39. Wuthering Heights

This was supposed to be a minisode where we talked about the book and the recent film. But it turned out to be a full length recording and we just leaned into it.

38. Shadow Ticket

Nazi bowling leagues, autogyros, disappearing and reappearing lamps, all interspersed with silly songs and the occasional pig rescue—it can only mean one thing: we read Thomas Pynchon's Shadow Ticket.

37. All Fours

Rebecca and Kennedy discuss Miranda July's 2024 novel All Fours, in which a woman embarks on a cross country road trip....for about 20 minutes.

36. The Silent Patient

Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but we read The Silent Patient.

34. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, - Volume 2

Is the Man with the Thistle Down Hair really John Uskglass? Where is Arabella? And what the hell is King George's problem? The saga of English magic continues.

In this episode Kennedy and Rebecca visit Prythian and Do. Not. Have. Fun. We didn't enjoy this.

31. Remarkably Bright Creatures

We discuss the word-of-mouth phenomenon about an octopus, a senior citizen, and an absolute moron.

30. Minisode #2

In this minisode before our upcoming episode on Remarkably Bright Creatures, we discuss speculative feminist canon masterpieces, how The Odyssey is drags at the end, why Mary Robison should be more widely read, how a novella gave us Brad Pitt, and whether anyone has ever seen a Tabitha King book in real life. Some of the books discussed: I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman Legends of the Fall by Jim Harrison The Woman Lit By Fireflies by Jim Harrison Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD Why Did I Ever by Mary Robison Days by Mary Robison Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk
