Oh, okay, yeah, it's like when you're a eugenicist, but you have a live laugh, love poster up, and you're like, well...

Welcome to Your Wrong About, I'm Sarah Marshall, and today we're telling you all about how to be normal, or how that might be impossible.

We are joined today by Heather Radke, author of Butts, a backstory, and if you have a but, or love someone who does, then this is a fun book for you to check out, and we will give you a taste of the but in our episode today.

Over in our bonus episodes, we just put out an episode where I got to talk about flowers in the attic with Carmen Maria Machado, which is something a lot of you have requested over the years in which it was really, really lovely to do, you know how much I love a paperback.

And our next bonus content for people subscribing on Patreon or Apple Plus is going to be a little concert video that we did of one of our spring live shows at Brooklyn's Bellhouse Theatre.

So you might have been there that night, and maybe it'll look a little bit familiar to you, or maybe you just had to settle for being there in spirit at the time, and now you get to see it with your own eyeballs.

And in it, you will see some bimbo history, some classic, you're wrong about topics, some hot dogs, and the show is so special to me because it contains the talents of our frequent co-host, Jamie Loftus, who joined us on the tour, and also of our producer and in-house musical genius, Carolyn Kendrick, who held the whole show together with music.

So yes, you will have feelings. It's a feelings forward offering, but that's what you expect from us.

Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for making it through another August with us. Let's talk about some butts with Heather.

Welcome to your wrong about the podcast where sometimes we just talk about butts and all their accompanying topics.

And I know that because we were talking today with Heather Radke, author of butts. That's the book. How are you, Heather?

I'm good. I'm good. How are you?

I'm so great. I have been looking forward to this conversation. I have this marked in my calendar as the most normal girl in Cleveland, and I really think we're going to get to the bottom of some stuff.

Me too. I love the pun. Get to the bottom. And also the most normal girl in Cleveland is a good little teaser, I think, for this conversation.

I'm so thrilled to be here. I'm such a big fan, and I'm really grateful that you had me on.

I'm so happy that you wanted to come on, and I would love for you to... I mean, you have a bunch of different things that you're doing in the world and topics that you're working with, but I would love for you to tell us all about your book to start.

Yeah, so butts is a cultural history of women's butts, basically. The scope is quite big. It goes back to, in some ways, the dawn of human kind, but that it skips ahead to like 1800.

We miss a big chunk in there, but then I look at two centuries of art history, and feminism, and the construction of race, and fashion, and music, and look at all the things that the butt has meant, or maybe not nearly all the things, but some of the things that the butt has meant.

All the things that supported, including that champagne glass.

Exactly. Yeah, that champagne glass is very crucial to the story of the butt.

But today, I think we're going to talk just about a little slice, and it's a very fun slice, a favorite part of the book.

A little slice of the butt.
