Hey, book club besties!

This month, we read the incredible debut novel by Alka Joshi titled the Henna Artist. Following protagonist Lakshmi - one of Jaipur’s most in-demand Henna Artists - the novel tells the story of a woman running away from her past in 1950s India in order to forge her own path. But of course, there’s only so far she can run before her ex-husband and a sister she didn’t know existed turn up on her doorstep. So, does their arrival mark the beginning of the end for Lakshmi’s new life? It’s a story about freedom of choice, domestic abuse, and arranged marriage, and boy was it a riveting read.

Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about the book’s exploration of the female experience in India during the 1950s, standout characters, and plot twist execution.

Hey friends!

On today’s show: How a random guy named Robbie, sitting on a couch with three women who were not his girlfriend, became the biggest trend on the internet this week. Then, a controversial Australian podcast interview draws attention for all the wrong reasons, and Shakira gets… mugged… by wild boars. Then, finally, a new Shameless segment: My Two Cents, where one of us comes to the table with a potentially terrible opinion.

Helllloooooo, everybody!

Happy Thursday, lovely people!

On today's show: The Honey Badger saved a sheep from a wire fence and was that all it was going to take to win back the hearts of Australian women?

This week, Mich recommended the podcast episode, ‘How Mail Order Marriages Work’, on Stuff You Should Know. Zara recommended watching Vigil on Binge.
