Episode 97 is a housekeeping episode because we have LOTS to talk about! I rage against companies who dropped the ball during the Black Lives Matter movement, and also suggest methods of action that we can take just through the products we buy. I also tell you ALL about a new shop owner on Etsy who is churning out some fabulous items, and reveal the FIRST member of the Brook Reading Podcast team! :)

This week’s episode features the audio content from Brook Reading’s segment on Livestream For The Cure! My pals over at the Epic Film Guys podcast and their podcast partners raised almost $17,000 for cancer research and immunotherapy this year, and I had the honor and pleasure of joining them for a weekend of - honestly - chicanery, fun, and fundraising. If you missed the livestream, you can hear all of it now!

I am joined by my friends, Sean from the What Does It Matter? Podcast, Tricia and Siana of 2 Girls on a Bench, and Drew from the Reel Feels Podcast. A huge thank you to Nick for having me take part in this.

Episode 92 is the FINAL episode of a many-headed beast that, hopefully, everyone enjoys and learns from. I explore multiple pieces of media stemming from the tumultuous period of American History, the 1960s and 70s. I introduce to you the series entitled, “Important Women Who Did Important Stuff”!

Tonight, I will cover episodes 8 & 9 of Mrs. America on Hulu, MANY articles on the ERA movement, and the epilogue of The Feminine Mystique. I was joined by my friend, Victoria, from Pocket Change Productions on YouTube, and we will provide you with TONS of information (PLEASE go check www.brookreadingpodcast.com to find all of these amazing resources!) and we say goodbye to Bella, Shirley, Gloria, and Betty. Gone, but not forgotten.

Episode 91 is the FIFTH and penultimate episode of a many-headed beast that, hopefully, everyone enjoys and learns from. I explore multiple pieces of media stemming from the tumultuous period of American History, the 1960s and 70s. I introduce to you the series entitled, “Important Women Who Did Important Stuff”!

Tonight, I will cover episodes 6 & 7 of Mrs. America on Hulu, a documentary on Shirley Chisholm, and chapters 11 - 14 of The Feminine Mystique. I also revisit the 5 minute rant as I discuss an appropriately themed, but ridiculous and sexist, article I discovered, and we also have a visitor to the Brook. Next week, the final episode of this series will be co-hosted by my friend, Victoria, from Pocket Change Productions on YouTube, and we will say goodbye to Bella, Shirley, Gloria, and Betty. Gone, but not forgotten.

Episode 90 is the FOURTH episode of a many-headed beast that, hopefully, everyone enjoys and learns from. I explore multiple pieces of media stemming from the tumultuous period of American History, the 1960s and 70s. I introduce to you the series entitled, “Important Women Who Did Important Stuff”!

Tonight, I will cover the biography of Gloria Steinem, episodes 4 & 5 of Mrs. America on Hulu, and chapters 7 - 10 of The Feminine Mystique. Tonight’s episode will also include a discussion on the recent tragedies of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many more, as well as the current #BlackLivesMatter movement. We try to answer the question, “What can we do?”, and continue the honest and open discussions that these terrible tragedies have brought to the forefront.
