Description

In this episode we’re mixing it up and sitting down with Alyssa Litman and Taylor Misiak, hosts of the popular podcast Table Flipping! Table Flipping takes “silly” reality TV seriously. Whether they’re raising eyebrows at Real Housewives, questioning The Bachelor’s latest Rose Ceremony, or hashing out the Vanderpump Rules, Alyssa and Taylor are smart, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny. It’s the mash-up we never knew we needed! ** Alyssa & Taylor share why they wanted to start their podcast and their mission sounds a lot like ours! (2:20)** Carinn finally has someone to deep dive with about Vanderpump Rules and the discussion does not disappoint! Reality TV virgin, Kate, tries to keep up. (05:00)** Kate shifts gears to something she can relate to -- books -- and chats with fellow “bookworm” Taylor about what she’s reading right now. (12:12 )** Speaking of books, Alyssa asks us a “juicy” question about whether to keep or toss a set of books gifted to her boyfriend from a previous girlfriend. It gets personal from there, but also brings us back to reality TV of course! (16:54)** Taylor can’t resist weighing in on our recent sidebar on Bennifer 2.0. This somehow brings us to discussing reality show, Southern Charm. (22:55)** In a hilarious speed round, we bring together the fictional women of the stories we love and pit them against the women of reality TV to see who would come out on top! You  (30:33)** We talk astrology with Alyssa and Taylor, a Gemini and an Aquarius, and of course they don’t think we’re weird!

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.”
