When an isolated woman starts recording her dreams of strange women, things get weird. Over nine nights, reality becomes fantasy, past and future meld, and fate binds and beckons.
Why are these women – old, broken, unnatural, mad, and ugly – appearing in her dreams? Why must difference always mean danger? And what happens when these women come together, connecting across time and space as worlds die?
Wyrd Woman is an audio drama and limited fictional series from Broads and Books Productions. All episodes available January 10. Learn more at www.wyrdwomanpodcast.com, and listen and subscribe at your favorite podcast player.

We're back! And we're introducing the first of our new Broads and Books Productions!

Here's the first episode of our new podcast, Fuzzy Memories: "1990: Tight Curls and Lovers' Blackmail."

Fuzzy Memories is the podcast that celebrates the good, the rad and the fugly of the 80s and 90s. Three latchkey kids who made it out alive break down everything from Madonna and Masters of the Universe to Twin Peaks and Titanic. Join us to celebrate the hits, the misses and the misfits of the weirdest decades.

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.
