In episode 174, Liz and Heather dive into the Disney+ release of Hamilton... finally!! This is a show that Liz had never seen, and was apparently the last person on Earth to do so. We talk about the music, the history, and the problematic parts of both the musical AND our country's history. We also dive into the accessibility of the arts, how important they are to our society as a whole, and go on a rant about how much things HAVEN'T changed. Also, we need justice for Breonna Taylor. Now.
Note: We also have huge lady crushes on Daveed Diggs.
This week the Nerdy Bitches book club is back in Episode 173. We review the first book in Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series, The Final Empire.
Listen in as we talk about all about allomancy, 1000 years of tyranny, and eating metal. This was a new series for Liz and Heather prior to the recommendation, so we will talk about if we want to continue with the series.
In episode 172, Liz and Heather are NOT OKAY... not even a little. We sit down after a very long time since we last recorded to update you on how things have progressed since our last dumpster fire episode. Spoilers: The dumpster has been moved to the dump, and now the entire dump is on fire.
We talk about the instability in the world, Black Lives Matter, racist dickbags, and how Liz nearly died (and not figuratively either). We also talk a lot about the importance of voting and how we can make a difference to be a better person every day and to remain allies to anyone we can.
Note: You will notice a VERY abrupt cut to commercials... and if you stick around after the end music, you will hear exactly what happened.
