Ep. 12 - Beard Science by Penny Reid
Episode description
You all knew this one was coming. We have waxed poetic about our favorite sexual lumbersnack and the not-so-Banana-Cake-Queen in previous episodes as well as our Book Boyfriend and Girlcrush minisodes. Now you get an entire episode dedicated to Cletus Winston and Jennifer Sylvester! We also have a special segment where you get Juliette's live reaction to reading selected parts of Dr. Strange Beard. Before we get into the fangirling zone, listen to a brief chit-chat/check-in with Jessen and Juliette as they talk about Les Miserables in New Orleans, the Sazerac, and a book rec from our listeners (00:59). Get to know the characters, setting, and tropes during their spoiler-free discussion of Beard Science (6:22). Spoiler Section: Juliette and Jessen compete in a Showdown where they each offer up their favorite scene to see which one reigns supreme (10:11)! Then, take a deep dive into all the SPOILERY details of one of our favorite contemporary romances of all time (15:00). LIVE REACTION: I pulled a few scenes from Dr. Strange Beard - which has a 5 year time jump and some very interesting developments in the Winston world - for Juliette to read and you get her unfiltered WTF reaction (1:13:35)!
