Women!
I once spent two days as a substitute teacher in a classroom of 6th graders all of whom, boys and girls, spoke in -- uptalk? When their teacher, a young woman herself, returned late on the second day, I asked her, "Have you noticed that they all end every statement with -- a ques-tion?" No. No, she had not. Apparently it was not a problem. This habit of speech is not prevalent today, at least not in my world, and when I hear a professional woman approaching middle age use uptalk, I wonder why she never grew out of it like everyone else her age. . . And now vocal fry is a feminist issue??? Why would someone think that? Is it because saying it makes it so? Are we also to regard petulance and flightiness as feminist traits? . . . It's a real shame.Read full review »

The discussion about 'Eat, Pray, Love' is hilarious! Stephen Metcalf's critique is brilliant and the snarkiness between him and the annoying Katie person made me laugh out loud. It was a terrible book...great discussion.Read full review »

Can you please include book recommendations in the shownotes? Oftentimes the panel mentions similar titles but I don't catch the full title/author.Read full review »

I love to hear what the hosts have to say after I've read a book, and they often echo and augment my opinions, but the banter and disagreement between them makes it a fun listen.Read full review »
