Get your badges ready, because the Truffle Division is on the case! This week, were crossing over children’s literature classic, Charlotte’s Web, and Midwestern black comedy crime caper, Fargo. Check us out on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher for a discussion of why freelancers deserve payment, the syrup that holds everything together, and the continued history of Annie’s musical theatre background. Also: if you send us pictures of spiders, Annie will block you from all social media feeds and cannibalize you.
Where to find this week’s pop culture (as of show date):
- Charlotte’s Web is available at your local library or bookstore.
- Fargo is available for rent or purchase on the usual platforms on but you can also probably get the DVD from your local library.
