Episode 18: THE PITT AS A COMFORT SHOW...Is This a Thing??

from Is This A Thing?

Last week we talked about “hate listening” to podcasts. This week, we’re talking about media consumption again—but this time, we’re talking about comfort TV. But there’s one more twist: Abby wants to know if high-stress shows like The Pitt and ER can be comfort shows (because they definitely are for her). We also chat about:Going on a cross-country road trip and the roles each of us would playHow it feels for Alli to hold THE FIRST COPIES of her debut novel!The current and future state of hardcover books...and more!And, of course, here are links to things we mentioned in the episode:LITTLE ONE by Olivia MuenterThe PittHEART THE LOVER by Lily KingGLOSSY by Marisa SeltzerThe usual links:ITAT on InstagramAlli on InstagramAbby on InstagramITAT on SubstackPre-order Alli’s book!Advocacy corner: The state of the country (and world) is weighing heavily on us right now.
