Last week we talked about “hate listening” to podcasts. This week, we’re talking about media consumption again—but this time, we’re talking about comfort TV. But there’s one more twist: Abby wants to know if high-stress shows like The Pitt and ER can be comfort shows (because they definitely are for her).

We also chat about:

• Going on a cross-country road trip and the roles each of us would play
• How it feels for Alli to hold THE FIRST COPIES of her debut novel!
• The current and future state of hardcover books
• ...and more!

And, of course, here are links to things we mentioned in the episode:

• LITTLE ONE by Olivia Muenter
• The Pitt
• HEART THE LOVER by Lily King
• GLOSSY by Marisa Seltzer

The usual links:

• ITAT on Instagram
• Alli on Instagram
• Abby on Instagram
• ITAT on Substack
• Pre-order Alli’s book!

Advocacy corner:

The state of the country (and world) is weighing heavily on us right now. As such, we wanted to provide some suggestions of how to stay involved. Every little thing counts.

• Call your representatives using 5 Calls (there’s also a great mobile app)
• Donate to mutual aid orgs. Here are some suggestions:
• Food For All
