Don't Touch the Earth

from Poog with Kate Berlant and Jacqueline Novak

At the dawn of the new year, Christmas needs unpacking. Jacqueline's voice breaks in elf mode and Kate secures a coveted table. Armed with two pens and a watercolor set, ritual pulls them in. Boo the Cat announces himself and the tiger breaks in, starving for a moment.  A storage unit gets unlocked as liquid code unfolds. A rare sighting of a bride at ease. Never so far from Paris as the moment she lands. Please don’t assume that no response means no thank you. Soft-playing gifts as gags, never moving the book, and faking a phone call. A childhood friend's dog resurfaces while reading—this life or previous?   🎙️ Rate and Review. 🌟 Premium Feed: Subscribe🛍️ Shop Our Favorites: Shop My Store👕 Official Merch: Merchtable Store📱 Instagram: @poogpodcast If you ever hear an ad during the show that you suspect shouldn't be there - please immediately let the Berlant & Novak ads team know at [email protected] there are strict blocks on certain ad categories in the show's automated ads system, **sometimes advertisers find ways to circumvent these restrictions**.
