Afterboom: The Bits

Created by Emily, Lisa, and Sandra Welcome to the bits! We discuss the 90's band that walked so emo could run, Emily discusses a book about seeing things from different points of views, and Lisa fever dreams an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, and also fills us in on nerd culture in the early aughts. And yes, the first bachelorette (Trista, not Trisha), is still married!

Created by Emily, Lisa, and SandraWas this title supposed to be "Girl's gone wild, guys doin the twist?" Sandra fills us in on a very popular 90's/early aughts actress, Emily actively avoids a political book in favor a kind of warm book, and we get an absolutely TERRIBLE book from Lisa. Seriously, don't even read this unless it's for the terribleness. Lisa throws a trigger warning in there, skip about 40 seconds if you want to avoid the mention entirely. Emily's silence to Lisa's retelling of this book, is one of pure "what in the actual uppercase F?" Join us this week for the bits!Follow us on discord!
