    Julia and Eliza team up for another bad book club episode in which they review Colleen Hoover's newest work of experimental autofiction: Woman Down.

    The Great Resolution Delusion w/ Aliza Jay

    In the first episode of the new year, Julia is joined by Jewish Aliza to interrogate the concept of New Year's Resolutions.

Digressions include Aliza's campaign to stop the lesbian yearning epidemic, debating whether being waterboarded is worse than proposing to a man, and the radical act of putting down The Bat.
