Description

In today's episode, Connie and Jaleh discuss Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer (the latest addition to the Twilight saga) as well as the new memoir 'The Hungover Games' by Sophie Heawood, the ecological novel 'The Hungry Tide' by Amitav Ghosh, and the Andy Warhol exhibition at the Tate Modern. They also cover two articles about surgical procedures: Rob Delaney writing about his vasectomy in The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2020/aug/12/could-i-feel-what-they-were-doing-yes-rob-delaney-on-the-pain-and-pleasure-of-his-vasectomy) and Sali Hughes' article about getting a breast reduction in British Vogue (https://www.vogue.co.uk/beauty/article/what-is-breast-reduction-surgery). They chat about uplifting articles in the 'Nice Nuggets of News' segment, talk about Miley Cyrus' frank sexual discussion on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, and rewatch an episode of Sex and the City (S3, episode 4) to see how it stands up in 2020 - is it whack or woke? 

A special prize to anyone who notices which word Jaleh mispronounces this week!
