True to its name, the short story The Case For and Against Love Potions by Imbolo Mbue both heeds caution and encouragement about using love potions. In this episode, we sit down with the Colored Pages Book Club Podcast to talk about what a love potion might look like in our world, and who wins and loses from its existence - is it a means of subverting patriarchal systems or does it feed into it?
