October 28, 2021 The Way Down with Two Ex-Evangelicals
What's the best way to start the brand new season of The Cool Table podcast? Well, in 2021, it's to get two southern, ex-evangelical women to watch and respond to the HBO documentary about an evangelical eating disorder mega church, The Way Down.

Amy and Beth discuss all things southern, churchy and GWEN SHAMBLIN's hair in this first episode of season 2 of The Cool Table podcast. Pull up a chair and tease up your hair. It's gonna get cultish.

July 06, 2021 Ice Planet Barbarians: We Tried To Tell Y'all
We can't really blame BookTok for being late to the party on Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarians since most of TikTok users have only been old enough to read books this dirty for about six months. As a long time Ice Planet aficionado, Beth told us to read them years ago. But Heidi has now joined the tribe, and together they break down all the reasons that these seven-foot cerulean tapeworm alien erotica books are so damn addictive.

Ok, and fine. Now that TikTok is stealing all our book recommendations, you can follow us there too: @thecool_table

June 08, 2021 The French Open: We Love Tennis and Mess
Bonjour! The French Open red clay is so messy. What merde, the one French cuss word everyone knows. Amy and La'Shay discuss all the sport, politics, and drama that surround the tennis of Roland Garros 2021. Who needs Mare of Easttown when you have Naomi Osaka?? If we have learned anything from both, it's this: mental health is health!

June 05, 2021 Good Night, Mare of Easttown
All the mysteries are solved ... or at least the ones that don't relate to how Mare hasn't fixed her hair yet. The finale of Mare of Easttown left us with a huge hole on Sunday nights, but at least we have The Cool Table podcast to break it all down.

Join Beth and Amy (follow BlessAmysHeart on Twitter) at The Cool Table as they mourn the end of Mare of Easttown.
