A Chick Flick Podcast
For our first (but not last) time covering a Jane Austen adaptation, we knew we needed to rope in someone better read, smarter, and generally superior to us — so we nabbed Superfan Tracy Tanoff!

*metaphorically.**
**No, not even.
Ladies’ man, man’s man, man about town, Ollie Brady (one-half of the Best Acquaintances Podcast) joins Helen and Valerie for a double dose of *’60s sex comedies. They talk the Pillow Talk and walk the Down With Love **walk.

*an earnest attempt to not say F**k and S**t
Helen and Valerie are once again joined by their mother, Karen Wurl, for this belated Mother’s Day treat.
