If the world as we know it ended today, how would you survive? What would you miss? Who would you be? The squad explores these questions and more in our discussion of Emily St. John Mandel's 2014 novel "Station Eleven." Join us and our special guest Todd (a man) as we wax philosophical, argue about which character is the best, and gush through every last detail of this book, which—spoiler alert—we liked a lot. At the end of the episode, check in with the BSG blog and hear about Susan's bookstore of the month: E. Shaver, Bookseller in Savannah, GA. Plus, listeners tell us why they identify as feminists, and we announce the winner of our MOXIE giveaway! It's all right here waiting for you, so you'd better hurry and listen before your device runs out of battery and is donated to the Museum of Civilization.
