Do Whatever We Feel Like

Hosts Beck and Dash open by discussing writing habits, sleep, and accountability tactics like body doubling. They share updates on pain, long drives, mail deliveries, and pets aging and not eating, then pivot to show-and-tell of 1970s lesbian commune zines from Kentucky (“country women”) with homesteading and self-defense content. Conversation touches on dead-celebrity rumors, TV time-travel shows, and a classroom women’s studies exercise about consent and coercion that reveals how some students deny scenarios as assault; they connect this to rape culture, language, and Freud’s retracted findings on hysteria and sexual violence, noting Title IX/mandated reporting. After a comedic sponsor ad, they swap rural food and gas-station stories, then present the “noun of Appalachian interest”: Loretta Lynn’s poor Kentucky upbringing, blunt songs on women’s lives and birth control, and lasting influence.
