Laura goes on a rant about whether or not tv shows are capable of handling sensitive topics. Hannah has been enjoying shows that have a "gritty" feel to them and also read a great indie book. Then Hannah and Laura dive into the first third of the plot of Jim Butcher's Grave Peril, which definitely has them questioning Harry Dresden's apartment quite a bit.

Hannah and Laura have finished up Fool Moon: A Loup-Garou Story, and they have so many thoughts. The main thought? This text is not meant to be heavily critiqued. They also chat about crappy, yet addicting reality TV, a book that handles some really heavy topics, and how awesome libraries are.

Apologies for some audio issues on Laura's end.

Hannah and Laura are finishing up the plot of Fool Moon: A Loup-Garou Story. Honestly, they're confused by a lot of things in this final section of the book, but enjoying the ride. They also chat about some great audiobook listens, fun podcasts, and how recency bias can affect reading. And if anyone figures out what the opposite of a werewolf is, send OWWR pod a DM.
