3.02 Flu Season

Published: Aug. 17, 2017, 5:23 a.m.

In this episode, Kathryn and Emma discuss season 3, episode 2, “Flu Season” (Emma’s favorite episode of the whole series!). We muse on why millennial women are less likely to take vacation days, how Leslie’s portrayal of a superwoman can be both inspirational and damaging, and the episode’s careful balance of comedy and character development. We also add Vilissa Thompson, disability rights advocate and creator of the Ramp Your Voice blog, to our Wall of Inspirational Women. And in a WFW first, Kathryn records from a wind tunnel! Not really, but it sure does sound like it at a few points. Thanks for your understanding about the iffy audio quality in this episode.
