[PREVIEW] Glamorous Trash Talk: Educated & The Glass Castle

Chelsea and Elizabeth Day (How to Fail) take a hard look at two often compared memoirs: Tara Westover’s 2018 memoir Educated, and Jeannette Wall’s 2005 memoir The Glass Castle. The Glass Castle was accepted as a true recounting of a dysfunctional childhood, while Tara Westover was accused of making up or exaggerating her accounts of her family in Educated. Why would one be believed unquestioningly, and one be controversial? Is it the internet’s fault? Backlash to the #MeToo movement in 2018? Or does our culture have a problem with women who cut ties with their families?Show Notes:Jeannette Walls’ The Glass Castle Tara Westover’s EducatedLaRee Westover’s EducatingElizabeth's interview with Tara Westover on How To Fail with Elizabeth DayElizabeth's book FriendaholicGTT: Best Friend Breakups episodeTara Westover's brother Tyler's full Amazon review copy-pasted into this Goodreads threadWhere to find our Guest: Elizabeth DayWebsiteInstagramPodcastsBooksFor more book recaps & gentle tea, follow Chelsea on Instagram @chelseadevantezSponsors:Tanteo Tequila -- @tanteotequilaNatalie's Juice Company -- @nataliesoj Pattern Brands -- @patternbrands___________Here are instructions for adding the RSS feed to your podcast player so you can get the Patron-only episodes on your phone - You just need to do two things (that will take under 5 minutes):https://www.patreon.com/rss/chelseadevantez?auth=HTunfYMMqCZHwETxJB6UCepC3600LZoO#1.
