  • Shut Up, Dawson! Also, Shut Up, Rory!!

    I so so so appreciate the hosts deconstructing these Gilmore Girls episodes with a feminist and queer lens. I watched GG for the first time when I was in my late 30’s with my spouse who grew up watching it. He just took it for face value where as I picked it apart and was so frustrated. I’m glad to have you two, who get it!

  • Welcome back!

    I really missed you two when you were on hiatus! My favorite podcasters. I have a loooooong commute, and you make it bearable.

    I teach pop culture studies, and I wish my students were as insightful (and funny) as you.

    Also, your banter makes me miss my best friend. She’s no longer alive, but everytime I listen to you, I feel nostalgic for the fun times we had — in a good way.

    Thanks for doing what you do. ❤️
