Episode 18 – Not Cool

Kait, Renata, and their guest Amy read Not Cool: The Hipster Elite and their War on You by Greg Gutfeld. It’s the idle musings of a Fox News correspondent who hates “cool” things, such as Sean Penn, the environment, and minorities. We struggled to unpack the double-speak inherent in Gutfeld’s argument that “uncool” things are actually “cool,” but then, we’re women, and as such are easily swayed by trends (or so we learned). Listen now, if you’re cool enough to have an MP3 player, or uncool enough to listen to podcasts on vinyl! Readers advisory: Here. Footnotes: In Praise of Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld Look at This Fucking Hipster Candy pairing: Amy says old gum, Kait says broken glass, Renata says a bag of dicks. Coming up next: Modelland by Tyra Banks.   * Worst Bestsellers is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
