Deirdre Coyle of Unwinnable and Christine Kelly of Tridroid Records join me to talk about Maria Dahvana Headley's brilliant The Mere Wife, a modernized, feminist retelling of Beowulf that inspires tangents on Trump voters, cryptids, Goths, toxic masculinity and who to cast in the movie version (I maintain that Reese Witherspoon is a highly underrated dramatic actress).
