This week, we're joined by special guest Jaime Armenta, a writer and comedian with the Pack Theater in Los Angeles. We dive into the fourth chapter of Little Women, "Burdens," where Jo uncovers the secrets of her crotchety old Aunt March's lavender marriage, Meg spills some great governess gossip, Beth remains an angel, and Amy remains a stunt queen. You can visit Jaime online at @catshitgirl.
