Tuesday Apr 23, 2024
We officially have a sponsored episode for bubbles! Many thanks to Cassie and Fireside Winery, located in Marengo, Iowa, for sending us a bottle of their sparkling white Blanc de Brickyard!
Today's episode is all about the beef. A litany of grievance if you will. Amanda & Ellyn are joined by bookseller Mariah, because she is the queen of beef, to chat about all the ridiculous things they have beef with and what they find underrated.
Thank you Fireside Winery for our bubbles, it was delish!
