The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf The Bookshelf

Steph and Candice fit in a check in despite very busy schedules.
They chat about the usual topics - reading writing by women, reading Stephen King and other authors and looking past the problematic racism and misogyny of the 1980s, as well as the problematic misogyny of Dr. Peter Venkman.

Candice and Steph discuss whether antiheroes, reluctant heroes, or very good heroes are the best to tell stories about. 
And then they get into trying to decide what makes fantasy fantasy.
Basically the title says it all "We don't need a pandemic to justify our escapism" and Candice and Steph say read it all, watch it all, whatever makes you happy.

After a summer break Candice and Steph are back to talk books, movies and music, with only a side of feminism and social justice.
Candice read some books on break and Steph started a dance class.
** We were together in real space with lots of distance so there's a bit of a big echoey room sound, and lots of talking all over each other. We were excited. Deal with it.
