Kait, Renata, and their guest Nick (@polykinetic) read The Target by David Baldacci. It’s the story of CIA assassins and neo-Nazis and North Korean prison camps, but most of all, it’s the story of the power of maternal love. Actually, most of all, it’s the story of USA! USA! USA! Our discussion of this book is perfect to play over loudspeakers at your Memorial Day BBQs, or any other time you need to feel a searing burst of patriotism.

Content warning: This book contains scenes of sexual assault and we discuss those scenes in this episode.

Readers advisory: Here.
