Born in the USA
b'
This week, we have a supersized episode about that most American of concepts: hypocrisy.
Our picks are taking on religion, capitalism, marriage, climate, and so much more.
Plus, the Broads discuss the ultimate hypocrisy of celebrating independence day in a country where women are not independent. With lots of things to laugh about along the way, including Giulani, lingering hugs, Amy's love for Winona Ryder, and our newest business idea.
Listen to "Born in the USA," the song from Bruce Springsteen that inspired this week's theme.\\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.
