Episode 13 - You Little Fool For Not Ignoring My Obvious Red Flags
<p>Jennifer and Amber discuss the covers and descriptions of the last of their 50s books. It's the end of an era. Literally. We just can't read anymore 50s books right now because they make us want to die. Stay tuned for our Bridgerton coverage between seasons and season 2, the 1960s, will begin in the fall. </p> <p>All views expressed here are those of the hosts and do not represent the words, thoughts, opinions, and the like of any entity with which they have ever, are now, or ever will be affiliated.</p> <p>The contents of this podcast are covered under fair use and constitute a review and discussion.</p>

Episode 12 - Well, the Attempted Murder Didn't Work so I Guess it's Love
<p>Amber reads Wise to Forget by Elizabeth Hoy, just like they all are. Jennifer reads Wife by Arrangement by Mary Burchell. Listen as they ask themselves...well, mostly why they are doing this to themselves. Join them as they realize that they are going to have to compress the rest of the 50s for...reasons, as they discover that love means the murder attempt didn't work, and as they realize just how horribly depressing it must have been to be a woman in a mid-century world.</p> <p>All views expressed here are those of the hosts and do not represent the words, thoughts, opinions, and the like of any entity with which they have ever, are now, or ever will be affiliated.</p> <p>The contents of this podcast are covered under fair use and constitute a review and discussion.</p>

Episode 11 - Splendedly Endowed
<p>We don't know what happened to the audio on this episode. If we weren't completely incapable of understanding technology, we would have fixed it. But we are, so we aren't. We're just begging you to find our incompetence either charming, or at least tolerable. </p> <p>Amber reads 1947's Close to my Heart and Jennifer reads 1948's Strange Recompense. In a first in the history of Categorically Insane, both Amber and Jennifer really liked their books. That doesn't mean there's nothing to talk about. Like when a woman says a man in 'splendidly endowed' in the 1940s, is it a moment of fabulous raunch, or is it still a mystery? If someone falls in love with no warning should we fear a head injury? And if a mid-century man can't actively feel an experience happening, how could they ever know if it's real?</p> <p>All views expressed here are those of the hosts and do not represent the words, thoughts, opinions, and the like of any entity with which they have ever, are now, or ever will be affiliated.</p> <p>The contents of this podcast are covered under fair use and constitute a review and discussion.</p>
