Sarah and Amanda are BACK to discuss possibly Amanda's most niche obsession, the Latin poets (and lovers!) Catullus and Clodia! Has there ever been a more dramatic pair? Topics discussed include: constant comparisons of these two to Taylor Swift and Matty Healy, how Catullus is the obvious predecessor to the Drake/Kendrick beef, Clodia's delightful naughtiness, the darkness that comes with going to a place of taping things to a wall, an unexpected deep dive into a genius named Rudy Negenborn, and so much more! Please check out this site to read Catullus's poetry as Amanda insists these are the superior translations and the poetry is honestly GREAT.
