Women and Words

Andi and Jove note that last week they tried to put an episode up, but tech foiled them at every turn and they had the sadz because they liked that episode a lot. Dammit. This week they chat about whatever-the-hell, including kids back in school, Lee Lynch's ice cream penchant, things that help get you through the summer, personal shit authors may go through, and, as KD Williamson points out, pumpkin spice shit, which is back in full-force and flavoring things both good and HELL NO.

And shout-out to faithful listener (bless yer heart) Jen W., who wrote in and made us laugh with a "Women and Weeds" reference WHICH, dear listeners, Jove may just put on a T-shirt...

Andi and Jove are kind of obsessed with tamales (can you blame them?), and they agree with Angela Grace that people need to unplug from their devices at least once a week. Meanwhile, E.J. Kindred has a debut novel out; fanart is awesome; EVERYBODY has trust issues; and ermahgerd what's up with this paper shortage thing? That sounds kind of...dystopic. 

 Andi and Jove talk teens, books, "adulting," Georgia Beers' fanfic, Carsen Taite's chat with Georgie, Toni Morrison, sex toys (because Andi and Jove), and coatis. Srsly.

 Andi might be the voice to remember this time around, as she sounds like she did a few rounds with tequila and a bar dance at Coyote Ugly. Jove agreed. Then they talked about Pride, foster parenting, boots, some politics (ugh...but it wasn't too bad), and building community. Basically, your usual wandering in the weeds podcast! LOL 

 Andi and Jove discuss Jove's latest injury, fangirl over Cheyenne Blue, enjoy drink recipes supplied by Angela Grace, and wonder how they missed Fiona Zedde's traipsing around Marrakesh before she got to France. Andi also totally got where Sam Ledel was coming from with regard to the Women's World Cup. 

Andi and Jove talk about Jove's vacation north of the border and why it might take longer than you want to write a book. Plus, Andi binged the third season of Stranger Things and R.G. is on the road for the 4th. And if you're dealing with mental health issues, please reach out for help. There's no shame in that. 

 Andi's battling a cold and Jove's getting ready for vacation, but they still managed to talk a lot about hair, misogyny, Everest, writer's block, If These Walls Could Talk 2, periods, and mental health, thus demonstrating that these two love spending time in the weeds. 

Jove and Andi discuss the downfalls of passive voice in fiction, how to identify it, and, most important, how to avoid it.

 Jove and Andi talk about Jove and her air conditioner while Andi attempted to explain the zip line she designed back in the day (it totally didn't work). They also got a little deep discussing Pride and police and representation in media
