"I think there's a lot of power in claiming & owning a label, but I don't think the writers were trying to be empowering here." Today we’ll be looking at Season 3 Episode 7 - The Adventures of Bad Boy and Dirty Girl! Bell Fibe TV on-demand’s summary of this episode says: “Frasier and Kate vow to end their office romance, but can't seem to keep their hands off each other!” I’ll be using the Bell Fibe TV summaries from now on because whoever writes the Wikipedia summaries got a little too big for their britches, and I’m fed up. FED UP. For this episode I’m joined by Kendalyn Aldridge!

"Why is Frasier named after strawberries?" Today we’ll be looking at Season 3 episode 6 - Sleeping With The Enemy! Wikipedia’s summary of this episode says “The support staff at KACL are very indignant because Kate refuses to pay their annual 5% raise. However, they are also too frightened to confront her about it. The decision does not affect the on-air talent, but Roz persuades Frasier to rally his colleagues round in support of those who are affected (and also to act as spokesman in place of Noel). They all march determinedly to Kate's office, but when she comes out everyone else dissipates, leaving Frasier to argue their case alone. The discussion grows to a fierce argument, which in turn suddenly transforms into an intense mutual lust, whereupon Kate kisses Frasier passionately before throwing him out. This presents him with two problems: the guilt of having betrayed the support staff; and the question of whether Kate's kiss was meaningful, or just a deliberate manipulative technique.” For this episode I’m joined by Hannah Bailey! Hannah’s one of the cohosts of the YA Podcast here on the Upford Network, where they talk about all things Young Adult Literature, and is also godparent to my nice baby!
