25 – 1984 #5 w/ Nicole
March 17, 2021 10:00 - 57 minutes - 79.1 MBWe're officially at the end of our discussion for 1984! Can you believe it? This episode deals a lot with dissociation and torture, so please be aware of that going in. This is kind of a rough chapter and we'll be there to talk you through it the whole time. Overall, I didn't super love this book and I am a bit disappointed by the ending. We'll talk about it when we get there. Find Nicole on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/scarlettrosefl And find her on any social media platform at @scarle...
24 – 1984 #4 w/ Nicole
March 10, 2021 11:00 - 58 minutes - 80.1 MBToday, we're going all-in on roasting Winston and George Orwell's writing. So, get ready for that. While it's very fun, I think that it's very much deserved. We honestly have some problems with Orwell's writing of women and how messed up Winston is as a person.

23 - 1984 #3 w/ Nicole
March 03, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 109 MBAnother round of just straight-up dragging on George Orwell for his writing of female characters for like ten minutes straight. I think you all will like it though, it's a fun time. Also, Winston is just such a trash bag, I do not get it. 1984 as a whole, has a lot of trigger warnings, so please listen out for those throughout these episodes, or if you need to skip this book for now. There will always be another one you can listen to in a few weeks. Find Nicole on Twitch: https://www.twitc...
22 - 1984 #2 w/ Nicole
February 24, 2021 11:00 - 54 minutes - 75.1 MBIs a lot happening every time we read 1984? Yes, yes there is. Are we enjoying this book? I am not sure yet. To be honest, this book plays with a lot of sensitive topics and I am very concerned with George Orwell's overall wellbeing at this point. Like, Winston is kinda a trash dude.

February 17, 2021 11:00 - 1 hour - 85.5 MBI've been told to read 1984 thousands of times, to be honest. So, you can imagine my excitement when Nicole said she would watch it with me! In this episode, we talk about a lot of our theories about 1984 and the world it's created as well as go through the plot. So, buckle up and enjoy the episode!
