| 0:00.0 | Hello beautiful hot and bothered listeners. We have another special |
| 0:06.3 | episode for you today while we are on hiatus and busy preparing for our next |
| 0:10.7 | season. I was lucky enough to guest on the incredible podcast |
| 0:15.0 | material girls in order to talk about the show Bridgerton. |
| 0:18.4 | Material Girls is a podcast that looks at cultural moments that were big that were zeitgeisty at the time |
| 0:24.0 | and uses scholarly lenses in order to understand |
| 0:28.0 | why they were such a big deal when they happened. |
| 0:31.0 | So they look at things like Prince Harry's book spare but they also go back and talk about things like James |
| 0:36.3 | Cameron's avatar. They had me on as I said to talk about Bridgerton which I think we can all agree had a huge moment in 2020. Season 3 is about to come out. |
| 0:46.5 | It got a spin-off series called Queen Charlotte. |
| 0:49.1 | All of this is by Shonda Rhymes, the genius behind shows like Gray's anatomy. But I don't know if you know this. |

| 1:16.0 | We hope you enjoy this special episode and if you're like, oh my God, Marcel Cosmon and |
| 1:20.6 | Hannah McGregor are amazing. I want to spend more time with them. There are two things you can do. One, go subscribe to material girls. And two, go over and listen to our podcast Should I Quit, where this week's episode is me talking to Marcel Cosmon as to whether or not she |
| 1:35.8 | should quit drinking wine. |
| 1:38.6 | Thanks everyone and we'll talk to you soon. Hey folks, Today's episode is all about Bridgerton. We talk about the books a bit, but |
| 1:48.6 | largely focus on the TV adaptation. If you want to avoid spoilers, skip this episode. We also want to give |
| 1:56.5 | you a content warning. In the last 20 minutes of the episode in the final segment, we talk in depth about depictions of sexual assault and non-consent more broadly. |
| 2:08.0 | You can listen through Hannah's thesis in the final segment and then turn off the episode if you'd rather |
