73: The Sign

This week, we're looking at signs. Our books have characters inspecting red flags, blowing past yellow lights, and claiming some things are in the green. Plus, Erin offers a tiered system of warning signs, Amy's gut instinct is driven by Reese's Pieces, and both Broads contemplate a reality show of fake psychic nonsense. Listen to "The Sign," the song from Ace of Base that inspired this week's episode. _____ Our picks from Broads and Books Episode 73: The Sign Novels: Amy: Starling Days, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan Erin: A Small Indiscretion, Jan Ellison Other Books: Amy: Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir, Natasha Trethewey Erin: The Sociopath Next Door, Martha Stout Pop Culture: Amy: Unfinished: Short Creek (Podcast) Erin: Indian Matchmaking (TV, Netflix) And hey: don't take your rights for granted.
