Love these women! I started listening a couple weeks ago, and binged all their episodes. Such interesting topics. Love how bright and relatable they are. Definitely recommend.
Book and topic review by 2 well educated women. Occasionally funny, they demonstrate limited scientific knowledge, frame things oddly sometimes, and lampoon society in the predictable critical theory way most of America-hating academics do. Not all academics, the hatey ones. Very complain-y and not very solution-y.
My new favorite podcast! I learn something new every episode and the two hosts have great rapport
