To Ears With Love is a weekly column about our favorite podcasts. Ever listen to a podcast, find it entrancing, only to binge listen to the whole thing and be left with nothing but silence or a Spotify playlist? FangirlNation is here to help with some suggestions.
High school English class was often a place of frustration, confusion, and sheer blah when we were forced to read particular books against our will. What if you could go back, reread, and tell your English teacher exactly what you thought over cocktails? Welcome to Unfortunately Required Reading. This podcast features a weekly themed cocktail, fun facts about the lives of the authors, and an analysis that would make your Honors English teacher ask to see your sources (which are also provided to save you research time). So far, Unfortunately Required Reading has taken on Watership Down, The Great Gatsby, and The Sun Also Rises with sass and a little swearing.
Okay, full disclosure time: this week’s To Ears With Love is about one of the things Amanda Conley and I do when we aren’t working day jobs or writing FangirlNation articles. In the spirit of New Year’s, welcome to a moment of shameless self promotion.
Unfortunately Required Reading can be heard on all major podcast sharing sites, including iTunes and Anchor.
