This week we're talking about cult classics, a theme idea suggested by our amazing listener, Kaileah!\\xa0

We're also starting a new way of naming our episodes. And this week's name comes from "Cult of Personality," the song from the men who knew how to make 1980s neon unitards werk, Living Colour.\\xa0

Also in the episode, we're talking about Amy's school for nerds and terrible taste in boots, Erin's love of khakis, and why internet trolls should learn to read. Also, we're pretty convinced the Broads and Books studio has a new ghost.\\xa0

Broads and Books is the funny and feminist book podcast you need in your life!

Each episode, Amy and Erin choose a unique theme. Then we choose two fiction books, two other genre books (short story collections, memoir, non-fiction, true crime, poetry, etc.), and two pop culture picks based on that theme. We surprise each other with our picks, talk about why we like them, and give you unexpected recommendations for every reading taste.

Along the way, we share embarrassing stories, pitch amazing-slash-crackpot business ideas, implicate ourselves in future crimes, check in on our Podcats, and so much more.

Broads and Books is fresh, funny, thought-provoking, and basically the best time you'll have all week.
