Sex and the City S1E11: “The Drought” with Brooke Averick

About this episode

Brooke Averick joins the hosts to discuss the themes of female desire and existential crises in the episode 'The Drought' from Sex and the City.

Brooke Averick, co-host of Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast and author of upcoming romance novel Phoebe Berman’s Gonna Lose It joins us to discuss SATC S1E11, “The Drought.” Carrie lets and ootsie tootsie slip in front of Big and has an existential crisis, Miranda deals with a 3-month dry spell and cat-calls outside Blockbuster, Samantha does no-nut November for a yogi, and Charlotte encounters the medical wonder of Prozac. We discuss female horniness, how Miranda would have been salvaged by Grindr, why PinkPantheress is the nerds gummy clusters of pop girlies, and how writing a rom com is not for the emotionally celibate.
