Episode 113: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

For some odd reason, Alli never read Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist when she was a teen reader herself, but she’s finally experiencing the David Levithan and Rachel Cohn novel for the first time on Episode 113! Tune in to hear her and her guest chat about so many things: the importance of music, the evolution in our language around queerness and gender fluidity, the way sexuality is leveraged against girls, the emotional power of YA, hotel vending machine makeout scenes, and so much more!

Sarah Wendell is the co-founder and current mastermind of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books and the host of Smart Podcast, Trashy Books. She is also the author of Everything I Know About Love, I Learned from Romance Novels and Lighting the Flames, as well as the co-author of Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance Novels.
