Summary
Kait, Renata, and their guest, practicing misandrist Naomi, read Under the Radar by Fern Michaels and questioned the motives of the vigilante Sisterhood. You’d think a group of women dedicated to rescuing women from abuse would have sympathy for the forced sister wives of a polygamist cult, but as we discovered–you’d be shockingly incorrect about that. Listen now and help us figure out what all the pumpkins were for!
PS: This episode ran longer than usual because this book has approximately as many characters as Game of Thrones and we needed time to discuss them all. We’re sure you’ll understand.
Readers advisory: Here.
Footnotes: Fern Michaels’s Sisterhood character descriptions
Candy pairing: Kait says Starburst Fave Reds, Naomi says pumpkin spice M&Ms, Renata says chocolate Viactiv chews.
Coming up next: Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims by Rush Limbaugh.

| 0:48.4 | As Renata. |
| 0:50.3 | Also, I'm practicing Ms. Andrest. |
| 0:55.7 | I'm going to come straight off the bat and say that this book is terrible garbage trash. |
| 1:01.3 | I would never in a million years recommend that someone read it. |
| 1:05.1 | And yet, I read the whole thing in like three hours and I could not put it down. |
| 1:09.8 | It was just my kind of awful garbage. |
| 1:13.0 | I would also like to say that that I didn't realize, I guess, that this is like the |
| 1:18.8 | 13th one in the series and it was a little confusing to jump into. |
| 1:26.2 | And so I went online to like Fern Michael's website to read |
| 1:29.7 | because there are recurring characters. And I kind of wish that she would do that babysitters |
| 1:35.1 | club thing where the first chapter was just like reintroducing the characters. But she didn't |
| 1:39.8 | really. But if you're curious, there is that sort of information on the website. There's like a little |
| 1:43.8 | biography of each of these sisters. |
