概要

 The Book Club is Fake but the Talk is REAL! The F.A.B. Podcast serves cocktails while also serving up stories with a side dish of humor, a sprinkle of sarcasm, and an occasional expletive as garnish. Every hump day, tune in as Moni and Kat playfully and thoughtfully explore compelling books and topics as they relate to the human experience, filtered through the lens as black women in the midwest. Let each episode illustrate the power of storytelling and how it connects us all. This podcast is a reason for them to connect as friends, as individuals, and with their listeners. It’s like therapy you didn't know you needed...along with some laughs! You may come for the books but you'll stay for the vibes!!Copyright Moni & Kat アート 文学史・文学批評 社会科学

    March Fakeness
    2026/03/11
    In this episode titled March Fakeness, the hosts switch things up with one of their signature Fake A$$ episodes. With no book on the agenda this week, they dive into a mix of the headlines, pop culture conversations, and internet moments that have been making noise lately. From current events to the latest cultural chatter, the hosts share their reactions, questions, and hot takes on what’s been showing up in their feeds. After sorting through the week’s mess, they wrap things up with a palate cleanser, talking about what they’ve been watching lately and what’s worth adding to your own queue. It’s a relaxed, wide-ranging conversation filled with curiosity, commentary, and the kind of tangents that make a Fake Ass episode a fan favorite.

    Moni & Kat review "Homegoing" by Yaa Gyasi
    2026/03/05
    This week, the hosts review Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, a sweeping multi-generational novel that traces the descendants of two half-sisters from 18th-century Ghana into the modern era. One sister, Effia, lives above the dungeon of Cape Coast Castle; the other, Esi, is imprisoned below and sold into American slavery. From that pivotal separation, the book follows their children and grandchildren across centuries, continents, and systems of power. Through alternating chapters, Gyasi explores the legacy of slavery, colonialism, identity, belonging, resilience, and generational trauma. Each descendant wrestles with the inherited shadows of the past, from plantations and Jim Crow to migration, incarceration, and cultural disconnection. The hosts unpack the book’s structure, thematic depth, and emotional resonance, reflecting on how history lives in individual lives long after its origins. It’s a layered, compassionate conversation that centers legacy, memory, and the ways personal story intertwines with collective history.
