Summary
It's book club week and this month we're talking about A Special Place for Women by Laura Hankin. Capturing start-up culture can be a hit or miss, and we really think Laura Hankin got it right in this book. A Special Place for Women follows a daring reporter who infiltrates an exclusive female-run members club, whose members are far more powerful than she imagined.
We also talk about not knowing what's next, Becca's Sweater status, and Grace's accidental trespassing adventure.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Bad on Paper Podcast. I'm Becca Freeman and I'm Grace Atwood and |
| 0:23.0 | it's Book Club and I am really excited. Before we pressed record, I was just talking about |
| 0:28.7 | how much I enjoyed rereading this book and I'm excited. It's a fun book. I have so much to say |
| 0:38.1 | about it so I don't want to start talking about it now but we'll get into it. Well let's do a quick |
| 0:42.9 | highs and lows and then let's talk about this book. Yes. What's your high? Can I go backwards because I |
| 0:49.8 | think that in order to understand my high I have to say my low first. Okay. So my low is that I feel |
| 0:57.9 | like I'm kind of stewing in uncertainty which is incredibly dramatic. I realize that I just |
| 1:06.7 | am feeling a tremendous amount of uncertainty around what is next for rom compods and just |
| 1:14.6 | everything associated with that. So to back up in the spring we were working on two shows simultaneously. |
| 1:24.0 | I know I've been dangling this secret show for so long and I really hope that I can tell you what it |
| 1:28.4 | is soon but I'm gonna stop trying to predict when I can do that because I keep being wrong. The |

| 1:58.5 | and casting and recording. And you know I've said that I have a lighter client load right now so I've |
| 2:03.8 | just kind of been you know taking it easy and you know it didn't strike me as weird that things are |
| 2:11.5 | slow over the summer just because you know people go on vacations and I feel like summer slow in a |
| 2:16.6 | lot of industries. And I just I really thought that by September October I would know what my next |
| 2:23.4 | project is and I don't and you know we're at this point where we can't self-fund rom compods anymore |
| 2:30.4 | so we need we need partnership and money from other people to do it so we're pitching and we have |
| 2:36.6 | a lot of meetings and you know the meetings take so long to schedule and you know we've had a couple |
