In this episode we are transported through time and space to Mallard, Louisiana in the 1950s. Identical twins start off life on the same path but end up on complete opposite ends of the racial spectrum. Brit Bennett takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions and as we talk our way through it all we find our selves asking all of the important questions, like: How many takes of our intro do we have to do before we get it (semi) right? What does The Vanishing Half have in common with British comedy fave Sex Education? And last, and probably most important, are children parrots or people? Join us as we come together with Brit Bennett to say BLACK TRANS LIVES MATTER in this weeks episode, The Vanishing Half Pt. 1!

On the second, and much rockier of our summer walks we find ourselves meeting several new(?) friends in The Last House Guest. Will the finale leave us high and dry on the shores of Littleport, Maine? Will we continue our wild streak of confusing names? Will we fall face first into all of the glaring plot holes?

All this and more to be answered in The Last House Guest Part 2!

On May 19th Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games prequel was released and the world would never be the same. 

Panem is back (Or are we simply back in Panem?) and better(?) than ever and so are we. Who continues our streak of fucking up names? Who will get mad at a completely fictional character first? And who among us will drop a huge secret about their involvement with the Hunger Games Trilogy (saga? idk)? Who knew that stories about uprisings could be such a pleasant distraction from our current state of affairs?

Join us as we take a necessary departure from our regular schedule to "read" and discuss The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!

In the first part of our 2 part premiere, we read The Silent Patient, a #1 New York Times bestseller from 2019, at Taiwo's insistence. In this episode, we read the first part of the book, and discuss important topics such as unreliable narrators, blank pages, and how exactly one pronounces Michaelides. We hope you love this episode, and if you don't, fret not. There will be more to hate tomorrow
