We’re starting off this episode very chaotically with a workshop session where we determine our Real Housewives taglines, a very fun merch announcement (or two!) before we jump into some book talk. Today we’re discussing a very timely gymnastics story, Portlandia and the very amazing Carrie Brownstein, a very funny short story collection, and the new TJR!  Grab your BATC merch: https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch.
