    Basically an Embroiderer

    From the Ancient Egytpians to the Ancient Greeks, the Ancient Persians, India, China, to East Africa - embroidery and needlework may differ in the common patterns and fabrics but, they had one thing in common, they were eeeeeverywhere! How did embroidery go from King Tut to King Henry? And how did the once highly esteemed art form become associated with frivolity and "arts and crafts"?? And on that note, why is arts and crafts associated with kids and silliness?! On this episode we answer these questions and more as we dive in to the world-wide web of embroidery. Hosted on Acast.

    Basically the Parable of the Sower

    We're back! In this episode, Liz and I are talking about Octavia Butler's masterpiece: Parable of the Sower! This book was written over 50 years ago and is... spot on for a lot of things going on the world today?! Why is the government of a failing nation focusing on space exploration? Why are some people apathetic and others hyper-empathetic? Do people still have sexual appetites in times of crisis? Obviously Butler is a queen and Liz and I talk all about these questions and more while giggling for an hour straight. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Basically a Sociopath

    I read (listened to) Dr. Patrick Gagne's book "Sociopath" and I'm obsessed! I think the book is SO good, the subject of sociopathy is SO fascinating, and I learned SO much... I just really want to go through the book, say my favorite parts, and gush over the author. Listen here to my little book club and then go listen to the book yourself because there's no way I'll do it justice in an hour. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here's a hint: 80 fingers went in, 79 fingers came out. Listen now to learn more and follow the show on instagram @basicallyanexpert Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
