Winthrop, Hockey, and Patriarchy

About this episode

The episode discusses a trip to Winthrop, WA, spring break plans, and the impact of sexist jokes.

It’s been a weird and warm winter here in Washington, and it basically feels like spring has sprung! And that means camping season! We flash back to our trip to the cute northern town of Winthrop, WA for Jamie’s birthday last fall and then talk spring break plans! Then we talk about laughing at sexist jokes and how you actually can just not. Then you don’t hurt your friends. https://www.pinenearpark.com/ https://oldschoolhousebrewery.com/ https://faintinggoatwinthrop.com/ https://www.mezawinthrop.com/ Thanks for listening!
