About this episode
Rachel Wilkerson Miller aka THE REWM aka creator of justgoodshit.com (https://www.justgoodshit.com/) aka the deputy editor of VICE Life comes to us with a first ever BOOK recommendation for Gee Thanks in “Home Comforts” by Cheryl Mendelson. Rachel loves it so much she has it in hardback and on Kindle. I found my copy for $6 at The Last Book Store in Los Angeles back in February! Plus, I brought my new fav white tee!

We’re spending a lot of time at home right now, and Rachel says this book is like a bible for the care and keeping of our houses. Also, apparently our houses are death traps? That’s cool, is there anything that isn’t a death trap these days? No? Amazing. Love that for us.
