It’s a Hart Chicks classic as we dive into Jaleh’s fave, the truly underrated Persuasion. We’ve got trope talk, romance recs, great and terrible faces, and a reference to literally every other pod season we’ve done. It’s what you know & love. Run the Bath marathon with us, dear hearts.

Hart of Dixie Chicks
Some friends have a weekly discussion about the 2011-2015 CW show, Hart of Dixie. Join our journey to Bluebell, Alabama where we debate the merits of small town life, love triangles, alligators as pets, and formal shorts as part of your work wardrobe.
