Jess Perkins from Do Go On and Naomi Higgins from Batch Bitch join Dave to discuss Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery.' The hosts explore themes of conformity, mob rule, and tradition in the story. They also touch on the controversy and backlash surrounding the publication. In addition, they share their excitement for reviewing a reality TV show called Kid Rock where children build a hospital in a third world country with no supervision.

In this engaging discussion, Jess Perkins, known for her wit on Do Go On, and Andy Matthews from Two in the Think Tank, dive into J.D. Salinger's 'The Catcher in the Rye.' They explore the rebellious spirit of Holden Caulfield and share personal anecdotes tying into the book's themes of cynicism and isolation. The conversation balances humor with poignant reflections on loss and friendship while playfully debating quirky traits of grandparents. It's a delightful mix of literary insight and lighthearted banter!
