In the first episode of her new podcast, Alegra reads "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath; a semi-autobiographical novel that covers all of this podcast's talking points: books, gender issues and feminism, and mental health. Alegra dissects the book, pausing to give personal anecdotes from her life, while also breaking down some of the backstory of the novel itself. With the Madonna Wh*re Complex, high functioning depression, and the history of lobotomies all covered in the first episode, where else is there to go in future episodes? There's only one way to find out... come back soon, Lobotomommies. This podcast is made possible by NOCD. NOCD offers effective, affordable, and convenient OCD therapy.
