Plum Island, a John Cabbage Novel - Show Notes

Charlotte and Laura are solving a mystery with John Corey on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast. They're discussing Nelson DeMille's Plum Island, the first in the John Corey mystery series. Charlotte moderates this episode and helps Laura understand John Corey's bold personality, which leads to their most heated debate yet! They discuss John's non-PC attitude, his detective skills, how his various relationships affect him, and much more. In addition to discussing the main character, Charlotte shares why she loves both Detective Beth Penrose and the treasure hunting aspect of the novel. Laura wonders how many of the book's characters will change over the course of the series, and shares whether she's excited for more. The girls also discuss how Plum Island measures up as a murder mystery, which plot points left them confused, and what left them wanting more. Does John Corey's abrasive personality make him charming or offensive? Is the attraction between John and Beth believable? And how the hell did John drive a speed boat through a hurricane and survive? All these questions and more are discussed in this week's brand new episode!

Charlotte starts out the Fun & Games segment with a set of Madlibs she made especially for Laura. Next, the girls do a little Dream Casting where they discuss which actors should play the characters in Plum Island.

 This week's podtails were truly inspired by the topic. Charlotte followed in the footsteps of the vintner Frederick Tobin and enjoyed a glass of wine. Laura celebrated the novel's setting with a Long Island Iced Tea!

Fennel Fronted Music - Show Notes

The Lettuce Podcast is celebrating its 100th episode! Laura and Charlotte chose a very special topic for this momentous occasion: Female Fronted Music. The girls sit down to share their favorite female solo artists and bands including Lorde, Rilo Kiley, TLC, and more. Laura shares how her experience with the supremely talented Regina Spektor changed with each listen. Charlotte explained why Hole's music is not her favorite style, but she still appreciated Courtney Love's vocals. Both hosts reminisce about their middle school days with TLC, learn about self-love with Lizzo, and so much more. They also discuss their favorite (and unfavorite!) tracks and award a rating out of 5 chards for each album. Has Lorde grown up in her sophomore album? What elements make up Rilo Kiley's unique sound? And where the hell is Lizzo's phone? All these subjects are presented on this very special 100th episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

Charlotte and Laura began the Fun & Games segment with their standard music episode game: haiku.  Each shared a haiku written with their female artists in mind. The girls then took some time to reflect on the past 100 episodes of The Lettuce Podcast and share their hopes for the future of the show.

This week's podtails where chosen in the spirit of celebration and girls' nights: the kamikaze and champagne!
