208. Smart Bitches Assemble: Demon Woodchucks and Things that Influence Our Reading Tastes

Summary: Amanda, Elyse, RedHeadedGirl and Sarah chat about reading influences - alas, Carrie couldn’t join us at the last minute. Amanda opens with talking about a Tig Notaro show coming to Amazon this fall, and Elyse explains why her entire office is scared of a woodchuck. We chat about the sexism Olympic media coverage, toy nostalgia, the Olympic romances we wish we could read, and what internal or external factors influence our reading tastes, like holidays, pumpkin spice, or changing seasons. And because it’s us, the conversation meanders over many other inane topics.
