  • Summary

  • This podcast is part book club, part musical analysis, part creator conversations, and all parts obsession. In season 2, we are re-reading our first loves: the first books we remember really loving! We have 3 main episode formats: 1. Book Club: Read-along conversations on our favorite books: we talk at the half way point and again at the end of the book. As co-hosts we alternate suggesting books we love or want to read. We mostly read novels, and we talk about the characters as if they are real people, because aren’t they? 2. Creator More-Than-Interviews: We got sick of listening to regular interviews, but still wanted to get to know the creators we love (authors, artists, musicians, comedians …) so what did we do!? We combined the book club format with the interview format. We invite amazing creators onto the show and together we read a book that is meaningful to them, and discuss both the book and their life and work. 3. Musical Deep Dives: Imagine the depth of a book club conversation, applied to music! We talk about musicians we love, exploring the meaning of their lyrics, the themes in their albums, the impact of their songs on our lives, and all the fun facts about the artist and their work. We take listener suggestions for episodes, feature listener audio messages on the show, and even bring on listeners as co-hosts!

    Jul 2 2023

    Caitlin and Marie read and discuss the first half of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, AND discuss their shared love for the podcast Alone: A Love Story. We first talk about ELAIC, which we read up to page 186 in the paperback, to right before the chapter, "Happiness, Happiness." We talk about Marie's first impressions, and Caitlin's experience rereading this favorite of her's. We discuss the different narrators, grandma and grandpa's relationships, Oskar's search for clues from his dad, what it would be like if our skin color really changed to show our emotions, and our favorite quotes and scenes.

    At the end of the episode, we talk about the podcast Alone: A Love Story, by Michelle Paresi for CBC. This show gave us so much to think about and feel and we hope it will continue! And as always, we finish the show with talking about some of our most recent obsessions, linked below.
