Smart Bitches on Bat Segundo.

This interview went up two weeks ago, but I was in a fight with the internet, so I only just discovered its existence.  After reading the intro, I ran around the library asking everyone, "Did you know that Harlequin was founded during the Depression?  Isn't that so cool?  Doesn't that make so much sense?"  (I got a lot of blank looks, as per usual.) 

I haven't listened to it yet (but I'm hoping to later today while I wait for my bread to rise).

An excerpt:

Sarah Wendell: And that’s not the only anatomical inaccuracy we’ve discovered. There’s a few one off inaccuracies we’ve discovered that are just mind-boggling. Like there’s one Gaelen Foley where the heroine’s a bona-fide virgin. And I mean bona-fide. Not is she like a virgin, but she’s like a princess or some shit? They haven’t even had sex yet. This is the first time they’re kissing in the woods. And he tastes her milk. Because, you know, virgins spontaneously lactate. Like a postpartum woman going into Target and hearing a baby cry. Yeah, same thing.
