A curated podcast salon; come hear about your favorite topics, our favorite topics, and no one's favorite topics. Your hosts are Margaret French (@mrgtfrench) and Janie Coppola (@janiecfrank), two women married to the same man in Chattanooga, TN (don't worry, it's consensual).
Ep. 10 - The Great Frenemyship of Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini
Can you believe it's our tenth episode already?! And that doesn't even count the ones over on Patreon! Crazy.
In this episode, Maggie and Janie join up to discuss the relationship between Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini - a tense, passionate (?), friends-to-enemies story with two of the most well-known men from the early 1900s. With a focus on spiritualism and mysticism, we think this episode is as fun to listen to as it was to film.

Ep. 7 - Adult Brac(ing) for the Oncoming Storm of Self Absorbed Nonsense
In this episode, Maggie and Janie discuss Lindy West's second memoir, Adult Braces: Driving Myself Sane. The book, which focuses on the author's new experiences with polyamory, came out in March of 2026. Since the hosts are in a throuple themselves, they thought they would weigh in on the discourse.
