SEASON 6 EPISODE 4: CONTROL
Baz is here! And he is definitely someone very familiar with control. That’s our theme this week as we read chapters 28-35 this week.
Poor Baz is starving because he was kidnapped by numpties. Luckily his punk auntie Fiona was there to rescue him. Simon is, of course, weirdly relieved to see him but can’t admit it, so he just gets mad instead. Baz, now that he’s back, can tell us what we’re all dying to know: how he feels about his Chosen One roommate. (He’s got it bad. We sympathise.)
This episode was recorded on 19 February 2022.
Listen to John Green discussing being a hospital chaplain here (be warned: this is worth a listen just on its own, but bring tissues).
We do pick on Fiona a fair bit for not being intersectional. We wish she’d read some Kimberle Crenshaw! Find out more here.
Queen Elizabeth at her husband’s funeral, all by herself. Whether or not you like monarchy, the British royal family, or this group of people in particular, you have to admit this is super sad.
