Chelsea welcomes back 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose hosts Justine Kay and Natasha Scott-Reichel to do our first-ever fiction book club on the reality show-inspired novel “The Compound” by Aisling Rawl. They unpack the haunting similarities to “Love Island,” what the dark parts of reality TV reflect about our lives today, and why the main character is almost impossible to cast (but send us your suggestions!). Plus: Why we miss monoculture and why Chelsea just can’t quit “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” A content warning: This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics, including disordered eating.

All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men.” Where to find our guests: Justine Kay and Natasha Scott-Reichel Listen to 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose on Apple Podcasts Patreon TikTok Instagram YouTube *** Glamorous Trash is all about going high and low at the same time— Glam and Trash.
