Othersode #29: Kelli Is Single / Black Mirror Season 5

If this podcast was a "Black Mirror" episode, the #BookSquad would take over your brain and control your motor functions and force you to subscribe to our podcast...alas, this is just a regular BSG episode, but it’s about "Black Mirror" - Season 5. We dig into this three-episode season and discuss themes of gender, sexuality, teenage girldom, and more. We also talk about the best and worst episodes of the show overall, and what worked and didn’t work in Season 5. Head over to the #BookSquadBlog for reality tv recaps, the return of the Late to the Game and #PodSquad series, and this month’s featured bookstore - Unnameable Books in Brooklyn, NY. Hear listener feedback for our #travelsode, and don’t forget to send in your feedback for this or any other episode to [email protected]. When you’re done with this episode, check out Hey YA, a biweekly podcast by Book Riot on YA trends, adaptations, news, and book recommendations! Read along for the next bookpisode on 7/15 on "Evvie Drake Starts Over" by Linda Holmes (with special guest Liberty Hardy!), and go see "The Lion King" for our next #othersode on 7/29!
