Episode 30: Reading, Watching and Self-Care

On our 30th episode we tell you what we’re reading, what we’re watching and how we approach self-care. In the Podluck: the Fuck word, the lumpenproletariat theory, normalizing talk about death, and toxic individualism in rural America. We’re nothing if not diverse in our topics.
