Episode 6: Werewolves, Eroticism & Being Your Own Heroine in Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber"

In this episode, Kaelyn and her guest (and longtime booknerd friend), Jena, talk about Angela Carter and her collection The Bloody Chamber, a reimagining of some of the most well-known fairy tales. Of course, we also get largely off topic and talk about the concept of virginity, the unsexiness of the word "underpants" and the history of women's undergarments...
