Steamer Trunk

The Hotties start the show off right with a Nonsense in Higher Ed roundup that’s sure to delight and enrage in equal measure [1:31]. Paying for education is complicated, boards of trustees STAY acting up, and academics are catty AF. Then CT & KW serve up fresh facts for a fact-deficient world [16:15]. Are you gonna hear about some crazy animals? Naturally. Will you learn a new, desperately sad detail about one of America’s many broken promises?? OH BUT OF COURSE. In the second half of the show, the Hotties provide a signature Brown Girl Take™ on the Hulu adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale [32:29]. They talk about the show’s disinterest in race, the musical cues they love (and hate), and what they hope to see from the show moving forward. As usual, the Hotties have some good culture for your involvement [50:09], and in a twist, they’ve also got a delightful bit of IRL news to share [57:41]. Join them, won’t you?
