0:00.0	Hi, everyone back to Bad on Paper podcast. I'm Becca Freeman.
0:21.3	And I'm Olivia Mentor.
0:23.0	And today we're talking all about music.
0:25.3	I felt very top of mind because our book club pick this month is Deep Cuts by Holly Brickley,
0:29.8	which is so much about the impact that music has on the character's lives.

1:46.3	per this outline, Dreams by the Cranberries, full volume on my little speaker. And I just was
