Stories are soul food. We stole that phrase from one of our favorite authors and podcasters (if you follow the link he may become your favorite too), and we don’t steal phrases unless we really like what they convey. It isn’t whether your soul will be fed by stories, but which stories will you feed your soul. In this episode, the girls dole out book, show, movie, song & game recommendations. All suggestions made are heartening entertainment that will divert your attention and lift you up instead of spiral you into a hole.
