In this podcast episode, we discuss the book "Ace of Spades" with author Faridah bk-ymd. The book follows two Black students, Devon and Chiamaka, in their senior year at a prestigious private school. They must come together to stop an anonymous entity from spreading their secrets. The host and special guest discuss techniques for setting the mood while reading the book, such as watching early 2000s media, listening to piano music, and imagining pastel visuals. We also suggest the Nigerian beverage Super Malt as a companion and the aroma of sage to enhance the reading experience. The host and special guest then reimagine a scene from the book, showcasing the characters' fashion choices and interactions. The episode concludes with the author encouraging readers to question societal systems and mentioning her upcoming book.
