Disco Doesn't Suck, It's Just Not for You
<p dir="ltr">In this episode of Enthusiastic Encouragement & Dubious Advice, Patricia and Nicole recap a birthday trip to New York City where they saw multiple shows, including a standout production of Cats: The Jellicle Ball — a reimagining of the classic musical set in the world of ballroom culture. The main topic explores the communication skill of distinguishing between something being objectively bad versus simply not being to your taste, touching on linguistic relativity and how the language we use shapes our perceptions of others.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Mentioned on the show:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://eedapod.com/">EEDA Pod Website</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://bookshop.org/shop/theinfophile">Bookshop Affiliate Storefront</a> (links below are affiliate)</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Become a patron! <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/eedapod">Patreon.com/eedapod</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Subscribe to the ongoing <a href= "https://www.theinfophile.com/">Enthusiastic Encouragement & Dubious Advice Newsletter</a></p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://eedapod.myshopify.com/">Our merch shop is open</a>!</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity">Wikipedia: Linguistic Relativity</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/20543/9781639732159">The Blood Countess: Murder, Betrayal, and the Making of a Monster</a> by Shelley Puhak</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/20543/9781534430990">This Is How You Lose the Time War</a> by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/20543/9781250341006">Seasons of Glass and Iron: Stories</a> by Amal El-Mohtar</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Find the full show notes with all the books mentioned in this episode and official transcript on our website: <a href= "https://eedapod.com/">https://eedapod.com/</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Follow the show on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/eedapod">Instagram</a> & find us on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EEDAPod">YouTube</a>, <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enthusiastic-encouragement-dubious-advice/id1716092614"> Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/3uNoQFf2PAW7jmmi9WXvQO?si=3aefbbd7bff54694"> Spotify</a>, and wherever else you get your podcasts!</p> <p>Sound editing by <a href="https://loopdilou.com/">Jen Zink</a></p>
