BSG #101: Is it Cobbler or Pie? / Model Home

Our gift to you on this very special Christmas and Hanukkah twofer is our final episode of the year: a discussion of Rivers Solomon’s latest novel, Model Home. Join us for a truly haunting discussion about family dynamics, gender exploration, and the difference between cobbler and pie. In the new year, we’ll be releasing our annual ‘faves’ episode where we cover the things we loved most in 2024, and then on January 21st we’ll publish our first bookpisode of 2025 on Nicola Yoon’s One of Our Kind. DON’T FORGET to enter our giveaway by 2/4 — go to our instagram for instructions — and if you’ve got some cash to spare, subscribe to our Patreon for $3 a month! Thanks for being a goalie this year. We love you. TOC0:30 – Welcome! Giveaway info!4:30 – Intro.
