410: Reviews of Bookstores with Helen McLaughlin and Karen Whitehouse
Summary
Hosts Zandy and Christine welcome guests from the podcast "Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding" to read dramatic reviews of bookstores. The episode features absurd complaints, including a customer comparing a cashier to Burger King and a shopper seeking German literature who gets into a semantic argument with staff. They also discuss a controversial Denver bookstore that bans phone use and browsing, alongside a lengthy, literary review from a frustrated customer. The hosts and guests debate the "Mariko Aoki phenomenon" and play a game guessing whether reviews are about bookstores or airports.
