About the episode

This week begins with a critical phone call from Bridie’s brother holidaying overseas about what McDonald's is like in Italy. Then Bri mentions a potentially nation-building event she witnessed at the Human Rights Law Centre.Bridie read "The Sarah Book" by Scott McClanahan, leading to a brief discussion about how great divorce narratives can be, before Bri launched them into a true crime deep dive: the ethics of the genre; why women love it so much; and Rebecca Makkai's novel "I Have Some Questions For You". To finish, Bridie raises some interesting statistics from the New York Times about millennials drinking too much and hitting the Marijuana pretty hard. What's up with generational substance use? All these topics and more on this week's episode of Cool Story with Bri & Bridie.
