Check out Muddy Feet's gorgeous poetry videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRsDslcuZ_jaVijmlqeYMNw *Our discussion about Milk and Honey was MASSIVE so we will be releasing a bonus episode next week, diving a little deeper into our thoughts about the book and setting them in context.

Episode 1 features an interview with Tyrone Lewis, a discussion of The Other Woman by Sophia Blackwell and Leanne Shorley live at Boomerang Club

A Dead Darlings bonus episode. Rebecca and Laurie discuss Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey. Our book review of Milk and Honey in episode 3 ended up being a lot more in-depth than we had predicted, and following some comments on social media, we've decided to release the full conversation as a bonus episode. Enjoy, and as ever, let us know what you think!
