We are rebroadcasting some of our favorite episodes before the premiere of our Bicoastal Season on September 1st. This season is all about books set in New York and LA, and we can't wait to share it with you! Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this ep from 2018 about one of the best-selling (and kookiest) authors of all time, Dame Barbara Cartland.

Michael and Hannah unpack pink misogynist Dame Barbara Cartland’s...prodigious output, wading their way through her daughter’s voluminous hair, plagiarism charges, and her deep deep deep hatred of her fellow women. They also talk about what else their reading, aspirationally or otherwise.

Books mentioned. A Hazard of Hearts and The Ghost Who Fell in Love by Barbara Cartland. The His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami, A History of Love by Nicole Krauss, and Call Me By Your Name and The Enigma Variations by Andre Aciman.

Articles mentioned: Plagiarism!, Raine Spencer (the HAIR), Barbara Interview, The will with no money
