A Mango Called Ove - Show Notes

On this episode of The Lettuce Podcast, Charlotte shares a new favorite book with Laura. They review Fredrik Backman's landmark novel A Man Called Ove. They discuss the novel's curmudgeonly hero Ove, his idiotic and lovable neighbors, the theme of death, and more. Charlotte shares why she's so charmed by Ove, and what she thinks of the romance between him and Sonja. Laura explains her struggle (but ultimate appreciation!) with Ove's neighbor Pavarneh, and his interest in Ove's frenemy Rune. Together the girls chat about Backman's unique writing style and chronological structure of the book, how community factors in to Ove's life, and whether they want to review more of Backman's books for the podcast. Can Ove successfully commit suicide despite the constant interruptions from his neighbors? Were Ove and Rune ever truly friends? And what is the deal with Ove and Saabs? All this and more on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

For the Fun and Games segment, Charlotte and Laura dust off an old TLP favorite, Alphabet Sentence. Charlotte also quizzes Laura to find out how Swedish she is. 

Looking for a podtail to sip on while you read A Man Called Ove or listen to this episode? For the brave alcohol enthusiast, try a Death in the Afternoon cocktail. For the sober crowd, try a proper cup of coffee (Ove's favorite) or a tart lemonade (sweet and sour, just like Ove)!

Agent Cabbage S2 - Show Notes

On the first episode of The Lettuce Podcast of 2019, Laura and Charlotte continue their chronological journey though the MCU by reviewing Season 2 of Agent Carter. They discuss characters new and old, whether the season helps connect plot points in the MCU, whether they want more seasons of Agent Carter, and more. Laura enjoys the introduction of Ana Jarvis and Whitney Frost, but wonders what happened to the threat of Leviathan. Charlotte explains why she wanted Peggy to pursue Jason Wilkes, and what she enjoyed about Chief Sousa's new life. Together the hosts explain why they felt Vernon Masters was a confusing character, how they felt about Jarvis's moral journey in this season, and why they're done with Jack Thompson. Was Agent Carter canceled too soon? Was Peggy's musical dream sequence worth the glitz and glam? And which double agent is really a threat to Peggy Carter? All these subjects and more are discussed on this week's brand new episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

For Fun & Games, the girls get inspired by the 1940's film setting of S2 and take a quiz to find out with Hollywood Actress of the 1940's they are. They also play a round of Create-A where they each imagine what a Season 3 of Agent Carter would be like. Play along and tell us which 1940's actress you are or what your ideal S3 would be in the comments!

For this episode's Podtail, Laura suggests ordering a Gin Rickey like Jason Wilkes or a whiskey served near like Peggy Carter!
