    [PREVIEW] Ask Not Book Club Episode! [SUBSCRIBER ONLY]

    This is a messier-than-normal episode because it's the audio from our live book club event on Patreon discussing the book Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed.  Together, Chelsea, producer Kristina, and the Cookies dive into the women pulled into the Kennedy orbit, from Jackie Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette and so many more. They also unpack the author’s “creative license” with elements of history, the myth-making around Camelot lore, and a few hot takes on Ryan Murphy’s “Love Story.” A content warning: This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics, including murder, substance use, and suicide. Take care while listening and find helpful resources here. We cut this down a bit to skip over the visual parts, tech set up, and warm-up exercises we did, so we can optimize this for a listening experience.
