Plume Senior Editor Kate Napolitano recorded this in October 2016, right before my schedule went to hell in a Coach bag, but I'm happy to finally share it with you. A graduate of The College of New Jersey, Kate's got a girl-next-door vibe and she gives us an honest look at working your way up the ranks in the world's oldest apprenticeship style career. (Not sure if it's actually the world's oldest, but it has to be close.) Kate purchased Phoebe Robinson's debut book "You Can't Touch My Hair and Other Things I Still Have To Explain." Robinson is a comedian, actress, writer, and one half of 2 Dope Queens, the popular WNYC podcast. Here are some highlights from the show: Kate’s Publishing Journey 5:17Middle-age career change into publishing? 8:15I can’t believe I have this job! 10:29Phoebe “Culture Tastemaker” Robinson 11:50What can writers learn from Phoebe’s book? 16:03
This week we're chatting about a Xander-centric episode (Haley's favorite) as we debate the practical application of a wheel man in the Scoobies, the source of Oz's coolness, and the priorities of undead bros. For more Hot Chicks With[out] Superpowers check out: Emily has been listening to "Quiet" by MILCK on repeat to glory in the awesomeness of the Women's March and keep her going in these darker days. Hannah just picked up "You Can't Touch My Hair" by Phoebe Robinson (of Two Dope Queens fame) and is super psyched to read about race, feminist, and U2. Haley has been watching "A Series of Unfortunate Events" on Netflix and is loving the portrayal of Violet (Malina Weissman), the oldest child and a strong-willed inventor (not the super nerdy one).
OMG it's time for Drunk of the Book Club! Welcome back, drunkers. This episode we discuss the always amazing Phoebe Robinson and her book You Can't Touch My Hair. We discuss hot beverages with liquor in them, Jon Hamm's "bottom portion," the sexy power of tailored suits, fangirling and giggling over an Instagram comment from Pheebs (SWOON!), and, of course, this fantastic book. We really loved it. Olivia drinks: mango black tea and rum Ashley drinks: coffee with cream, rumchata, fireball whiskey, and cinnamon smirnoff (it's delish, I promise!) We read: You Can't Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson Up next: Psychiatric Tales by Daniel Cunningham
