Previous guesto and notable book genius Dr. Devon Price returns to the show having read Duchess Goldblatt's bestselling memoir(!!!). Listen as he recounts the truly staggering details of the Duchess's real life (she got divorced over buying an ugly couch, and only enjoys one musician in the entire world), and reports that the book never really gets around to explaining why anyone cares about a gimmick account that tweets shit like "I hope your sleep is restful, my tender canelés"
