Smart Podcast, Trashy Books: 430. A Very Silly Q&A with Amanda and Sarah

With the help of the Podcast Patreon community, Amanda and I are answering silly questions to help get us all through Hellweek.

If you’re like me, and little stressed/overwhelmed/chin-deep-in-existential-dread, a little silliness goes a long way. So Amanda and I are bringing you a temporary respite with an extremely silly Q&A with half the Patreon’s incredible questions – the other half will be in a future episode. Think The Most Goofy AMA You’ve Ever Heard. Is there background construction noise AND dog barking? Of course! We’re talking candy, bedside tables, time travel, cheese plate perfection, and more – with extra silliness. We hope it gets you through.

The SSR Podcast: Episode 119: The Voting Booth (with Cayla Turner)

It’s the first episode of New Reads November 2020!
