91: Jolene

Cheating! Love triangles! These picks have all of them. Also in this episode, we consider why Dolly Parton is the best, examine the particular weirdness of Midwestern snacks and salads, and ponder how a particular Podcat would fare on reality TV. Watch "Jolene," the Dolly Parton classic and inspiration for this week's theme. And for a bonus, watch The White Stripes take on the song with a bit more angst. ______ A Broad's book: Pre-order DIG ME OUT by our own Amy Lee Lillard now! _____ Our picks from Broads and Books Episode 91: Jolene Novels: Amy: The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, Dawnie Walton Erin: Followers, Megan Angelo Other Books: Amy: Fame: The Hijacking of Reality, Justine Bateman (Nonfiction) Erin: Fuckface, Leah Hampton (Short story collection) Pop Culture: Amy: Normal People (Hulu) Erin: Spinster (Prime) _____ Broads and Books is a book podcast.
