This week, we're wondering how much time we've wasted worrying about being the right stuff for dudes.  Our picks take on the male gaze in unique and even horrifying ways. 

Plus, we're talking boy bands, Wahlbergs (and Wahlburgers), period pain for men, attracting creeps, and more. And we get a special visit from TWO podcats. 

Links mentioned in the episode: 

• Song from New Kids on the Block: "The Right Stuff"

Broads and Books is the funny and feminist book podcast you need in your life!

Each episode, Amy and Erin choose a unique theme. Then we choose two fiction books, two other genre books (short story collections, memoir, non-fiction, true crime, poetry, etc.), and two pop culture picks based on that theme. We surprise each other with our picks, talk about why we like them, and give you unexpected recommendations for every reading taste.
