We're wrapping up Women's History Month in style here at the Beer'd Al Podcast. I've got Lily Hirsch back to talk some more about her book (a tome, really) Weird Al: Seriously. We dig into the chapter "Junking Gender" and explore the ways gender and toxic masculinity are touched upon in the music of "Weird Al." We also talk a little bit about how excited we are for the upcoming movie, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

Lily is seriously (no pun intended) one of my favorite people to talk to, and I'm sure you'll love this conversation. She's my "Weird Al" ladybro!

Lily has an exciting expanded paperback edition of her book coming out soon!
