Is it healthy to be jealous of your talented friends? What is the true meaning of laying down your weapon and can it mean anything at all? Who in the band is an extrovert and who is an introvert and who is kind of both depending on the situation? These questions and more are tackled with the aforementioned talented friend, Amber Bain (The Japanese House) and aren't we all just lucky to be able to listen in!

Happy holidaze from your friends and world-famous podcasters MUNA. The band gets into the holiday spirit with a festive word association game (thank you for the suggestion Kello)! They also get into the story of Katie’s special boot, liturgical dancing, and Jo’s emotional response to puppets. Ho ho ho etc!

Summary: Welcome home, friends! Join Holly and Devin today as they discuss books that feature a return to our roots, to going back where we came from (for better or worse). Devin highlights that this trope is common and effective in romances - Hallmark and Lifetime use it constantly. Holly shares that thrillers remind the reader that “home” isn’t always cozy and safe but can be the source of trauma and horrors to make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.  

Topics Discussed:

• The Dagger (3:40): Holly discussed Sundial by Catriona Ward, a novel following Rob, a woman who has it all - a husband, two children and a nice house in the suburbs. At least, that’s how it looks on paper. After discovering that her husband is cheating on her with her only friend and feeling increasingly worried for her daughter Callie’s bizarre behaviors, Rob seeks answers at Sundial, the remote desert ranch where Rob grew up. Holly’s key takeaways were:

• This novel explores the theme of nature vs. nurture, both in humans and animals. What makes us who we are, and how much can human intervention modify and control the choices we make? The setting in the Mojave desert doubles down on this exploration, portrayed as a brutal, hungry animal waiting to be fed.

• Ward keeps us back on our heels through the novel with alternating timelines and POVs; we follow Rob and Callie in the present day, but also see Rob of the past and her childhood at Sundial. We are left feeling distrustful of everyone and unsure which story we can rely on. 

• Rob’s return home and Callie’s introduction to Rob’s fraught past is a major factor in this novel; we are privy to the present day experience of Rob coming back to Sundial, but we also move back in time to learn what happened there when she and her sister Jack were growing up, particularly the events surrounding their late teens. 

• The Heart (17:17): Devin discussed Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake as we follow the titular character from the life she’s fought hard to build in New York City back to her hometown of Bright Falls for her step-sister’s wedding. As a professional photographer, she’d normally reject the opportunity outright but the five-figure paycheck sways her. Once there, she meets her sister’s friend Claire and decides that the entire two-week extravaganza would be more fun with some flirtation. Delilah ends up with way more than she bargains for and so does the reader. Devin’s key takeaways were:

• Even with Astrid, Delilah’s cold and perfectionistic step sister, a lot of this book is about finding your voice and learning how to stand for what you need and want, with boundaries and sharing feelings etc. whether in romantic partnerships or platonic friendships. 

• The first of a three book series, this novel is a sapphic romance and is very fantastically steamy; Herring Blake focuses her talents on not just sexy moments but hot dialogue to make even the most seasoned romance reader blush. As queer romances go, this one is a fantastic representation of real queer community and intimacy. 

• The chaos and stress of going home, facing triggers head-on and the complicated family dynamics between Claire and her ex husband all build to the sense that this whole exercise is tough for everyone, but also worthwhile to build a better future for everyone involved. 

• Hot On the Shelf (37:09):

• Devin: A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny

• Holly: The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

• What’s Making Our Hearts Race (40:46):

• Devin: Boygenius (especially Julien Baker)

• Holly: The Crown, Season 6 Part 1

This week's returning guest, political activist and co-host of The Muck Podcast Hillary Dougherty, didn't mince words when she asked to come back on the show: "boygenius just released the album of the year and I need to come on and talk about it!" OK. Luckily the debut full-length by this indie supergroup made up of three young, talented women (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus) simply titled 'the record' IS pretty great, and well deserving of all the accolades it's been getting. Go figure.

Songs discussed in this episode: Not Strong Enough (Live, Saturday Sessions) - Boygenius; Ladies (Live, Ohana 2017) - Fiona Apple; Kyoto - Phoebe Bridgers; Souvenir, Without You Without Them, $20, Emily I'm Sorry, True Blue - Boygenius; The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkle; Cool About It, Not Strong Enough - Boygenius; Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow; Revolution 0, Leonard Cohen - Boygenius; Chelsea Hotel #2 - Leonard Cohen; Satanist, We're In Love, Anti-Curse, Letter To An Old Poet, Me And My Dog, Read My Mind (The Killers cover) - Boygenius

Well hello to all the loyal congregants of gay church, your prayers have been answered. This week, we've completed the boygenius-munaverse-gayotic trifecta: the one, the only Julien Baker (!!!) joins the band to talk underage tattoos, playing Halo with your high school boyfriend, commiserating over late-stage capitalism, writing $400,00 checks, etc etc etc. We're going to stop writing this description now so you can just go listen. Enjoy ;)

Hey look who's here! It's noted good dude and bassist to the stars (the stars being MUNA): Geo Botelho! The band interrogates his supposed heterosexuality, Geo shares his weightlifting and Craigslisting secrets, and everyone shares their earnest feelings of friendship for one other. Aww. They might have switched gyms from "blank" to "blank" but they're the same "blanks" you've always known.

Everybody climb back aboard the bus: we've got one more episode from tour for your aural pleasure. This time, the band is joined by the man/the myth/the living legend: production manager Ivan Barry, for a peek behind the curtain at how the MUNA machine is made. Plus, hear all about Ivan's trajectory from guy in the back of the crowd at a MUNA show to guy making the MUNA show. Gotta love that.
