"No One Wants the Crudités" May 23, 2022

Show notes

In which we talk about nothing and everything, ramble about home, our hair and hair products, trading spaces with our partners, feeling like a ghoul, aging and age-related adjustments, getting parent drunk, the rules of parties, no one wants the crudités, finding "town," must get to "town," the performance of identity, dealing with an aging body, The Leftovers, The Offer, Barry, Hacks, and why are we all still so fascinated with Anna Wintour?

Plus: Two good new hair products!

SACHAJUAN shampoo

HAIRRARI volumizing hair dust

"They Are Trying to Exhaust Us" May 16, 2022

Show notes

Instead of stewing in our collective outrage (and fury!) over the recently-leaked Supreme Court decision regarding Roe v Wade, now seems like a good time to talk about action. Our guests today — Rebecca Hart Holder and Jen Bluestein — have spent much of their careers fighting for abortion rights and reproductive equity. Rebecca is the executive director of Reproductive Equity Now and Jen is the former managing director of NARAL Prochoice America and the current senior director of policy and advocacy at the Schusterman family philanthropies.

In today's episode, the two explain in simple, straightforward terms where we are with abortion rights now and the best ways to channel our righteous pro-choice rage in order to actually make a difference.
