    So interesting! Loved hearing Andrew interview AD of Expand the Canon, Emily Lyon. Sounds like a great project to introduce overlooked classics written by women. Move over Shakespeare! The ladies now have a voice and advocate through Expand the Canon!

  • USELESS episode descriptions

    It’s impossible to tell if I want to listen to an episode (among the nonstop torrent of episodes that drop into my inbox—how does this show make SO many so fast?) because the episode descriptions are so infuriatingly vague and almost ALL use the same bland, tired adjectives to promote the shows. Whoever is writing these episode teasers needs to be replaced.
