Description

We've launched a platform at patreon.com/popfictionwomen to keep making the podcast you love -- and to make it even better. For a one time contribution to support this episode, use venmo @ carinn-jade. Thank you and enjoy the show!! 'Hamilton: The Musical' & Vanessa Nadal *** The Schuyler Sisters (“Angelica, Eliza & Peggy”): For a musical about the Founding Fathers, this show provides us with vividly imagined female characters. Kate and Carinn discuss who we relate to most, and how. (02:14)*** Favorite songs: It was impossible to choose, but suffice it to say we will never be satisfied with only a top three list. Which song does Lin Manuel Miranda call the best song he’s ever written? Which one did he say was the hardest to write? Which song was the one Tommy Kail said took Lin out of the running for Aaron Burr? We’ve got answers to all of these questions and so much more! (14:08)  *** Killer Quotes...What’d I Miss?: This is our chance to pick stand-out lines from other songs and featured performances by scene stealers like the King (Jonathan Groff), Lafayette/Jefferson (Daveed Diggs) and George Washington (Christopher Jackson). (35:54)*** What's Your Damage, Heather?: Or should we call it “What's your Damage, Burr, Sir? Love A. Ham”? Damage is not inherently negative, it's the stuff that motivates us. We parallel ourselves to the mindsets of Hamilton and Burr in this segment. Listen to which of us is the self-starter who is young, scrappy and hungry working non-stop and which is the strategic lion who is not standing still, but is lying in wait. (39:16)*** What She Said: We turned this segment upside down so we could highlight the impressive Vanessa Nadal, wife of Lin Manuel Miranda, a woman who will never be eclipsed. (51:26)  *** Who won the musical?: Kate and Carinn love this segment so much it’s going to become a permanent fixture. Kate brings it back to the origin and inspiration of this musical and Carinn focuses on true love with an star-crossed angle. Listen to hear the WILD connection between Hamilton & Eliza and Lin & Vanessa! (59:50)*** History Has Its Eyes On You: Kate and Carinn share how they came to fall in love with Hamilton and why you can never talk badly about this story to us.

In Pop Fiction Women we deep-dive into the complicated women of books, movies and TV shows, along with the women that bring them to life behind the scenes. Think Fleabag and Phoebe Waller Bridge, Normal People and Sally Rooney, and so much more. In each episode you can expect us to: * Break down the protagonist as we ask what makes her complicated? * Identify the best scenes, which can mean sweetest, funniest, or most badass. Anything we love. * Recount the cringiest scenes. The ones that make you squirm. Sometimes it’s self-sabotage, sometimes it’s growth, but it’s always part of the process of becoming our complicated selves. * Play arm-chair therapist in What’s Your Damage, Heather? An homage to the iconic line in Winona Rider’s Heathers, we discuss how these characters got to be the way they are. * “What She Said” - the segment where we scour every essay and interview with the women behind the scenes and share some of our favorite first person quotes. Real life is as interesting as fiction here. * Look into our crystal ball and ponder where these characters are six months later and five years later. Typically, Kate gets very real and Carinn gets buck wild. * Provide a takeaway, aka that part in the podcast where we try to sound deep. We leave you with some parting wisdom, challenge each other with thought-provoking questions inspired by the work, and urge you to “stay complicated.”
