The Name of the Lettuce - Show Notes


This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Laura and Charlotte embark on a new fantasy adventure: Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind. Together they discover the wonders of the first book of The Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy. This episode features a jam-packed discussion about the novel's humongous cast of characters, magical University, and truly impressive accomplishments of the story's hero. Laura explains why the many aspects of Kvothe's personality made him both fascinating and frustrating. Charlotte shares why the University portion of the book was her favorite. The girls both talk about the importance of music, the mysterious threat of the Chandrian, what's going on with Denna, and so much more. Does Kvothe's intelligence and natural talent make him susceptible to hubris? What/who are the Chandrian? And will Kvothe ever get his money situation under control? All these topics are up for debate on this week's brand new episode.

The girls have an extra special Fun & Games segment featuring a new game: Dream Casting. Because The Name of the Wind does not have an accompanying film/television series (yet!), Laura and Charlotte discuss which actors should play their favorite characters. Play along and tell us who you think should play Kvothe in a film! They also play a round of Predictions where they share what they think will happen in the next book and aspects of the story they hope will be further explained.




This week's Podtails, inspired by the drinking habits of Kvothe & Denna, included a Chimay beer for Charlotte & strawberry wine for Laura.

Gilmore Gherkins S2 - Show Notes



Oy with the poodles already! Charlotte and Laura are heading back to their favorite small town in CT to visit the Gilmore Girls in this week's brand new episode. The girls are chatting about Season 2 this time around and they cover the Gilmores' lovelives, career/school goals, and more. Charlotte shares her thoughts on Lorelai's struggles throughout the season, why she loves Jess, and Rory's growth from quiet bookworm to more outspoken. Laura explains why she feels bad for Dean, but doesn't think he's the right match for Rory, and why Emily & Lorelai's relationship growth throughout the season was so important. Both hosts chat about the sprawling cast of characters, which episodes stand out as favorites, and what things they're excited about in the following seasons. Can Lorelai and Emily repair decades of damage with a couple positive experiences? Will Luke be able to handle pseudo-parenthood when his nephew Jess comes to town? And where can we find a Bracebridge Dinner to attend?

Charlotte & Laura have a tough (but fun!) round of Alphabet Sentence to kick off the Fun & Games segment. For their second game, the girls combine their Gilmore Girls love with another love: Harry Potter! They play a round of Sorting Hat to decide which Hogwarts houses their favorite characters belong in.

To celebrate Lorelai's graduation from Business School, Laura sipped on a margarita (just like Lorelai!) and Charlotte enjoyed some wine (just like Emily!).
