Minisode 1 - That's What the Money's For Part 2, or, Barbie Was Not Kenough (with Irene Mudd‪)‬ The Smartest People in the Room

Okay, so, we recorded this emergency podcast the Saturday after the Oscar nominees were announced, and then Maddie got too busy and is only just now uploading it. This episode is no longer topical, nor a hot take. Please forgive us but please listen anyway! (Also, Maddie knows the song is called "What Was I Made For?" but was too worked up to remember the title).
