Happy Idiot

Broads and Books

This week, we're asking one simple question: Is ignorance bliss?

Plus, the Broads talk about their areas of ignorance, Erin tells the story of getting slapped, and we consider our favorite fraud. And much more.

Broads and Books is the funny and feminist book podcast you need in your life!
Each episode Amy and Erin choose a unique theme. Then we choose two fiction books, two other genre books (short story collections, memoir, non-fiction, true crime, poetry, etc.), and two pop culture picks based on that theme. We surprise each other with our picks, talk about why we like them, and give you unexpected recommendations for every reading taste.
Along the way, we share embarrassing stories, pitch amazing-slash-crackpot business ideas, implicate ourselves in future crimes, check in on our Podcats, and so much more.
