Episode CW: discussion of intimate partner abuse
To record this episode, Hannah and Marcelle sat in a bed together for two hours with a singularly chill-less cat and had wildly divergent opinions about a book, sort of at one another, while the cat purred way too loudly.
Does that make it sound fun? TRUST US IT IS. If nothing else, we can promise the horniest episode we’ve ever delivered, as we sit down to talk about Rainbow Rowell’s Carry On and hash out the differences between fan fiction, intertext, and adaptation; the gayness of various cover designs; and why traditional narrative forms are so deeply satisfying.
Hang around for a new #trywitches challenge and an enthusiastic installment of #witchpleasetellme. Take it away, Todd!
Credit: the exciting plot summary music is “Epic” from bensound.com. Also Hannah sings like two seconds of “The Bare Necessities” at some point.

| 1:33.0 | So to be clear, I didn't love it, which I think is an important distinction because I didn't dislike |
| 1:41.6 | it and I liked parts of it a great deal but I found it left me deeply |
| 1:49.6 | unsatisfied and a little bit miserable and even as you were going through all the things that you loved about it I just kept thinking about all the things that like really super bummed me out about it and how much I don't like this book.
