People often ask us what we mean when we say “Ring the Joan Didion Alarm.” Basically you ring it when you realize you’re telling yourself stories in order to live.
Deeply HUMBLING to be writing this, but please get in touch if you have ever had any luck troubleshooting with Apple Podcasts. Our pod suddenly does not show up in search results, and all our reviews are gone. We didn't receive an email or a warning or anything.
Truth. Beauty. Freedom. Love.
So I can’t believe I’m finally able to say this… I’m making my Broadway debut in MOULIN ROUGE ❗️❗️❗️ When I first saw this musical I fell instantly head over heels in love. I watched from the edge of my seat, hanging onto every word of every song.
Forgetful Girl Summer ends NOW. It’s time for Ad-Supported Girl Fall.

'The View' host Sunny Hostin cited what she said was a study indicating that gay people can identify each other through scent: 'They have noses for each other.'
Calling all investors, glamour girls, cliff girls, and Kinsey 1's: We're BACK. And this time, we have NOTHING left to prove. New episodes start next week. ⚗️🧪

It’s an honor to be included on this
@esquire
list of best podcasts of the year and an even greater achievement that they were able to squeeze the word “gaping” into the caption.

“I would have been a combat journalist. That was one of my dreams. When I was at the Capitol, the day before the inauguration, I remember walking around and looking for evidence of the insurrection.”

@samttaggart

Listen:
On today’s very special episode,
@georgeciveris
and
@samttaggart
tell ALL about the highs and lows of their two years of podcasting. From being written into the defense budget to being sued by countless entertainment lawyers, nothing is off limits.

Thank you
@vulture

@lilkittypaw
for naming us the NUMBER ONE comedy podcast of 2022!!! 😱😱😱 We are over the moon and wish our peers Dana Carvey and David Spade better luck next year!!!
Miley Cyrus clarifies her comments about not wanting to tour anymore:
“This has nothing to do with a lack of appreciation for the fans & everything to do with I simply don't want to get ready in a locker room. Which is the reality of life on the road.”
I asked Rep. George Santos if he would sit for an interview with the House Ethics Committee.
"No. Oh, with the Ethics Committee? Of course. Not with you," he told me on his way to lunch.
To celebrate Pride, we are becoming GaytioLab for one week only! And there’s no one better suited for such an ep than
@MacyRodman
. We talk complex women, if Laura Bush is in the LGBTQ spectrum, and the indie-fication of Pride.

Thank you to our listener Charlie, who just sent us this absolutely brutal review of the pod, included alongside Lorrie Moore, Ted Chiang, and Umberto Eco in his 2020 year in review.
JUST IN: President Biden said every adult in the U.S. will be able to get a coronavirus vaccination by the end of May because of increases in production, moving up the timeline from the end of July.
This week
@ihatejoelkim
is back on the pod to bravely stand up to the tyranny of celebrating the ‘20s. And if you don’t like it? Well that’s fine. None of us actually stand by anything we say.

Never before seen footage of our album art photo shoot with
@MichaelFails
a year ago... Little did we know it would set off a chain of events no one could have ever predicted.
i cannot fucking believe we are still doing full news stories and press tours about somebody coming out as gay. post a long-winded facebook status that you'll be embarrassed about in a few years, go through your "dressing different but not better" phase, and move the hell on.
Today’s ep w/ John Reynolds is one of our most emotionally complex recordings to date. We explore everything from “are snacks inherently right wing?” to “are we generally happy?” Get into a healthy headspace and then ruin it by listening to this ep.
This week: Is it possible to distinguish between reality and fantasy? Is Mick Foley mother? We investigate with pro wrestling SUPERFAN
@thatonequeen
! Glamour girls, start your engines!
Today on the pod: Is posting about “celebrating love” at a wedding a sign of mental distress? If Taylor Swift was a yogurt brand, which one would she be? Is the media out to get us? A blissful 93 minutes with our favorite SCORPIO

This week we have empath and advertising executive Julio Torres back on the pod to deliver an urgent message to all restaurants: LIVE IN THE NOW!

proves that despite our differences we are still brought together…as podcasters.
