Dolly Parton was an all-time great human being. A champion of literacy and self-expression, her memoir Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business was a certified Best Bestseller that we loved reading. We will always love Dolly and especially her Imagination Library 🦋 www.frowl.org/worstbestsel...

The anthology Whitehead edited "Love After the End: An Anthology of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction" because I think optimistic, romantic, post-apocalypse fiction might be of interest to some of their listeners. (I also appreciate Kait and Renata enjoying the show "a normal amount".)
