In this first episode of season two and in the spirit of the month of love, your hosts read Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Anastasia and Megan discuss the power of love to influence history and reveal our true selves. Then they dive into philosophical theories on love including Aristophanes' speech on soulmates from Plato's Symposium and Nietzsche's hot take that greed and love are essentially the same instinct toward possession. Finally, a reading of the smut (of course).
