So it's a show?: keeping up with the Gilmore Girls
ep 60: Where do you think the Susan Faludis of the world came from? What would Miss Manners do?
Lorelai’s got some questions, so we’re doing journalistic research to find some answers! First off, we have no idea who Susan Faludi is, much less where she came from. We dig into her work as a gender-focused journalist, her debunking of popular statistics, and what she has to do with Lorelai’s bad experience at a middle school Sadie Hawkins dance. Next up, how are supposed to know what Miss Manners would do if we have no clue what she’s up to? We talk her perspective on modern etiquette, how she impacted The Washington Posts’srelationship with Richard Nixon, and how she would handle Emily’s conflict with Trix. Plus, how are these ladies’ work relevant today? How are movies like hot dogs? Pull out your reporter’s notebooks and find out with us.
