O Captain! My Captain!

This week, Deidre and Gillian dive into Crown of Midnight, the second book in Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series. Along the way, Gillian recaps her family trip to Cape Cod, while Deidre shares about embarking on the elusive millennial side quest: homeownership. They also chat about the unsettling prospect of developing parasocial relationships with AI (eek!) and admit we’d all secretly prefer a bot that shames us instead of validates us. The episode wraps with a brand-new game, Who the Fuck Is This?, where Gillian tries to recall all the obscure side characters from the book.
