Girl Crush: Russian feminist punk rock protest artists Pussy Riot

Oh yes, of course we have another Double IPA for you. Check out Sufferin’ Til Suffrage, a badass, female-led beer collaboration from two great Atlanta breweries. We also tackle the age-old debate of “Tomato - fruit or vegetable?” with a new perspective by poet Oliver Bendorf’s in his book The Spectral Wilderness, where he explains how at one point, the Supreme Court weighed in on the question.

On this episode we chat about Bendorf's portrayal of his transition to a man, loving things even when you're supposed to think they're ~sort of lame~ and Alyx asks a whole lot of basic questions about beer phrases, which Erica kindly explains. Shout out to the rage-filled chicks in Pussy Riot who just last week came to Birmingham, AL. Cheers!
