Ep. 45- I Could Believe It, I'm An Alien (Light From Uncommon Stars)

Grab some donuts and your headphones! It's February! Which means it's time to talk about the winner of the Standalone-Showdown! 

But first---Laura keeps telling Hannah to watch Ozark, but she won't do it and Laura really wants to talk about this show with her. Laura also thinks Laura Linney just deserves an Emmy for that show.  Just give it to her.  Hannah feels really conflicted about some shows that she's been watching, rightfully so, and gives us her book list of "February Hopefuls." Then we dive into our discussion of Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki, a weird little gem of a book that we both loved. 

TW:  physical and emotional abuse; transphobia; homophobia; misgendering; deadnaming; rape; sexual assault; racism; child pornography; self harm
