    It's the end of Season 1! Thanks for listening, see you next year! cw: NSFW, death, cults, extensive misogyny, fatphobia, discussions of racism (specifically against Native Americans, Asians, Egyptians), homophobic language, ableist language, animal cruelty, reference to pedophilia, fetishisation of lesbians, biphobia. This week, Grace tells G, Tosin, Nemo, Steve and Lisa about the Widows of Eastwick written by "masterful" John Updike. There's a distressing lack of frogs in teacups, a distressing amount of erection-based death sentences, gay people are literally The Devil, and there are so, so many holidays. This was recorded before "OK Boomer" became a meme but trust me, this book is a big OK Boomer mood.
