This week Bridie discovers that historical fiction can actually be amazing, and recommends a book about the first ever written character being a woman. Bri has read the new Britney Spears memoir, which leads to a discussion about the gross misogyny of the paparazzi era. Then the two discuss the ethics of David Sedaris using other peoples' stories after a complaint piece was published in Slate.
