Feminism and Funeral Potatoes
Kate and Madie are BYU students majoring in English. After discovering a terrible book entitled "The Skeleton in My Closet Wears a Wedding Dress," Madie had a full-on meltdown in the middle of Deseret Book and talked it over with Kate. They decided a podcast would be a fun way to talk about the book as well as lots of other cool stuff, and here we are. The podcast covers the book itself, as well as discussions on Mormon doctrine, Mormon culture, and lots and lots of pop culture. We like it all.
