Josie's new book, The Last Temptation of Beck, just dropped! And she also produced an album to accompany it filled with original songs inspired by the book's narrative, Loser Babies! So we're putting X-Men on the back burner today and focusing on this exciting news. Josie and Becca are joined by writer and musician Rachel Garrett Steele, who has two tracks on the album, to talk about being perdedoras. Or, more specifically, to go through the entire album track-by-track, discussing songwriting, Beck, and what it means for marginalized people to make art together. How has art brought these three friends together? Plus, Becca desperately tries to bring up Mr. Sinister occasionally so you don't forget that this podcast is sometimes about X-Men.
