In today’s pod, we cover PLL episodes 1.10 “Keep Your Friends Close” and 1.11 “Moments Later”! We discuss how much we love Camp Mona, Ashley’s unauthorized loan, Ali as a candy striper, why the patriarchy is okay with women playing field hockey, and the worst poem we’ve read in our entire lives.

Episode Transcript: Read it on Buzzsprout!

Chickpea Recipe: Chickpea Salad with Shaved Red Onion and Fennel

Fashion Analysis: Our best and worst outfits, and one we didn't hate as much as we maybe should have! (Cameron did successfully guess Deepa’s favorite outfit was, so either Cameron knows Deepa too well, or Deepa is predictable…possibly both)

Cameron’s Sports Analysis

• Field hockey insights from Coming on Strong: Gender and Sexuality in Women’s Sport, by Susan K. Cahn (presumably no relation to Noel Kahn) 
• Autostraddle’s weekly WNBA recaps by Natalie, Carmen Phillips, and Heather Hogan!

Things We Referenced Related to PLL

• Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, in the context of the PLL episode “The Wrath of Kahn”
• Ezra’s appalling "B-26" poem, which manages to be ableist and possibly racist in addition to being terrible writing

Things We Referenced Completely Unrelated to PLL

• How to Get Away With Murder and knowing exactly where we are in time, unlike PLL
• We recorded this months ago, the week that the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) announced their strike, but incredibly, SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are still on strike! Everyone should strike!
