    Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-Mays

    Bestselling writer Lindy West and democracy policy expert Meagan Hatcher-Mays are two Award-Winning Best Friends From High School (Most Likely To Make You Laugh in their high school senior poll – sorry to intimidate you!). Each week, Lindy and Meagan hilariously digest what’s going on in the news, their lives and their text threads with their singular combination of political smarts, embarrassing sincerity, and a truly concerning level of investment in pop culture. Text Me Back is a podcast about best friendship and making your favorite people laugh, even when this dumpster fire of a world gets you down.

    Lindy and Meagan Are on Microphone Parole Sep 17, 2026
    Show notes

    First on the agenda, we are rage-baiting the Brits. You think the best of Wisconsin and Kentucky couldn’t keep up with lads out on a foggy London night? You’re saying the people of the USA cannot handle the sweltering heat? Bruv we have been sweating since birth. IT’S NOT THE (33℃) HEAT, IT’S THE 128% HUMIDITY!!!! Angry British people, please direct your complaints to deartextmeback@gmail.com.


    We are also talking about the AI plot against Meagan. Seems unlikely that MHM would make a mistake three separate times in a row…AI overlords, you listening buds? Why are you trying to bring down your loyal minions over here at Text Me Back Podcast?


    Plus, Meagan brings us Tiktok Digest, featuring the one and only Keke Palmer and Raven-Symoné. Keke if you’re looking for a place to say weird things, please do leave us a voicemail on the Best Friend Party Phone: (703) 829-0003.


    And 🚨NEW SEGMENT ALERTTTT 🚨

    We want to know all about your random celebrity encounters! You don’t HAVE to be Keke Palmer to leave us a voicemail on the Best Friend Party Phone, although it’d be better if you were. Call or text us at (703) 829-0003.


    Want to revisit our bore worm ep? So do we!!! It’ll probably have to be a job for the ole Textmebackolytes over on the discord — connect with those good folks via patreon.com/textmebackpod

    Lindy and Meagan’s Out of Office Auto-Reply (Our Franchesca Ramsey/Lace Front Beard Wig Episode) Sep 03, 2026
    Show notes

    Guest what Textmebackolytes…we’re ONE WEEK AWAY from new episodes and new unhinged content, bad ideas, and broken brains. We miss you weirdos!! We need 7 more days to pull ourselves together and apply our lace front beard wigs. So today we are re-airing one of our favorite eps featuring the INCREDIBLE Franchesca Ramsey.

    Franchesca’s presence punctures one of the central tenets of Text Me Back - for SHE has a podcast called (Lemme Fix it!) AND she is also the iconic host of Webby nominated series We Were All Rooting for You. We have people looking into this, but initial reporting suggests that there may be other podcasts apart from Text Me Back. Seems suspicious, but we will circle back when we know more.

    And we’re talking about our TOP CELEBRITY BEEFS. You’ll never guess who we have called out, betrayed, and been blocked by. Thomas Lennon, follow Lindy again if you forgive us!! Sorry we didn’t like that one movie you were in, buddy!!! And because we’re talking about internet psychos, that naturally brings us to Tyra Banks, America’s Next Top Model, and Jake and Logan Paul.

    Lindy and Meagan Win Over Papa Aug 13, 2026
    Show notes

    The rift in the space-time continuum has been rent asunder yet again.

    We are together in Seattle (3 weeks ago) and today…we tide. It’s a super rare MEGATIDINGS. Two people just…talking? Under one great big general segment? It’s just crazy enough to work!!!

    Have you seen George Gently (2009)? The Gentle Detective? There’s a sexy fox lady and the entire cast of Harry Potter? Let us know if YOU know the real name of this show but beware of spoiler at 7:45. Write in at deartextmeback@gmail.com

    And who is better, Jem or The Misfits? Real ones will know, call in at (703) 829-0003.

    AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR BIAS-CONFIRMING EVIDENCE that Meagan throwing pork is normal, expected, and socially acceptable. Sound off in the comments.
