Broads And Books

One amazing listener (with the amazing name of Amy) suggested the theme of "sports." The Broads, as uncoordinated and afraid of competition as we are, went real loosey goosey on this theme. And this glorious episode was born. We've got picks that are about rivalries and head-to-head combat. Plus, we talk about our own sports misadventures and dreams, debate the merits of baking competitions, and imagine the possibilities of a magic bullet in Erin's head. It all makes sense in the end. ______________Our picks this week: Novels:Amy: American War, Omar El AkkadErin: Beartown, Fredrick BackmanOther Books:Amy: Too Fat Too Slutty Too Loud, Anne-Helen Petersen (Nonfiction)Erin: The Noble Hustle, Colson Whitehead (Nonfiction)Pop Culture:Amy: GLOW (TV)Erin: Team Foxcatcher (Documentary) ___________Like what you hear?
