This week we invite the unironically illustrious Aparna Nancherla on to shift our perspectives on many of the leading issues of the day. Issues like the ethics of reading a popular book years after everyone else, the sadness of European's attachment to their rich historic cultures, and the power structures of the average sleepover. Plus, a heated debate on the merits of warm ice cream causes a great divide. Hope you like conflict!
