They're Never Gonna Know (We Know) - Heir

1 hour 11 minutes

Anastasia and Megan are kicking off season three of the podcast with Heir by Sabaa Tahir. Your hosts are discussing if the ends justify the means (seems like they don't, y'all) and the Machiavellian antics of the MC, Aiz, in her quest to save her people. They reflect on redemption, but wonder why vengeance feels so much more cathartic. Lastly, they're questioning if powerlessness corrupts just as absolutely as power itself.
