Transcription: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h8ydsjzYCZM7AptmRCPo9-ni8tfNdKMSnjxrs50JxGo/edit?usp=sharing
Allison starts off strong by BEGGING everyone to leave a review of her new book on Amazon and Goodreads. (PLEASE!!!)

Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I6YTf6ZYpQOca9Q118Ne7TG4p46Q9qm1k0uqWZ0OL7A/edit?usp=sharing
First, Gaby and Allison answer a listener's question about having an unwanted crush on their friend and co-worker by revisiting their own pasts, current friend-crushes, and that one time they made out as a prank. They then interview Bridget Todd, the host of "There Are No Girls on the Internet" and "Disinformed," about the spread of misinformation, social media's pros and cons for marginalized groups, and what responsibilities different online platforms have to the real world. And finally, the trio discuss the Supreme Court, their gripes with it, and hopes for the future, despite the bleak and alarmist path ahead.
