Description

We have a very special episode in honor of our two-year anniversary. Today we are having the most complicated conversation of all...we are interviewing one another. So welcome to Complicated Conversations: Carinn & Kate Take The Mic. That’s right, we are each taking the mic and asking the other questions. By the end, you’re either going to love us or hate us because really what’s the point of anything in between? ** “Scenes” From Our Star-Crossed Friendship. Hear our origin story, which spans decades and is essentially a long story of “meet and miss.” We’ll take you on scenes from high school, Boston College, Fordham Law School, BigLaw in NYC, and writing a novel together. And of course, Emily Giffin had something to do with bringing us together. (02:30).** Pop Fiction Women Is Born. Listen to hear the initial spark that ignited the podcast. (20:50)** What We Said. We ask each other about some of our favorite episodes, which ones surprised us the most, which ones we learned the most from, the episode that sticks with us the most, our most cited quote from the female creators and the creator we deep dove into most feverishly. (28:59) ** What’s Our Damage? and Astrology. It’s back on the couch for us both, where our damage overlaps (hello mommy issues!) and where our damage actually compliments each other. Of course, we talk about how our wounds are revealed on our birth charts. (54:08) ** Growing Pains. Listen to hear about the trials and tribulations of actually starting a podcast. (60:20)** Crystal Ball. We look into the future and ask each other about our hopes and dreams for the podcast...dream guests, dream episodes, and the ways we intend to level up. (65:11)** Takeaways. It’s a mutual lovefest for each other and what this podcast has meant to us. (74:50)Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @popfictionwomen and on Twitter @pop_women.

Titles in the series (100)

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.”
