    Harvey Weinstein Gets His Day
    May 5 2024

    Do all dogs go to heaven? Or just those euthanized by Strong Republican Women? Like Kristi Noem (with a dash of Glennon Doyle?), the girlx/womxn prove they Can Do Hard Things when it feels right. Listeners will be dismayed to discover that what feels right today is agreeing with the overturning of Harvey Weinstein case in New York and poking holes in the witness testimony. Act 3: Women's tears: a discussion. (Again.)

    How is a cruise like BDSM? How is BDSM like this podcast? The girlx/womenx begin by clearing their throats about the last episode (TLDR: we are sorry you are mad), and Sarah recounts her tragic, abusive childhood (and in so doing provides living proof that hurt people hurt people).

    They then move on to the chaos at Columbia, sidestepping the political discussion entirely to wave their canes at the damned kids.

    Leisure for Deplorables, Therapy for Kids
    Apr 19 2024

    In the wake of the solar eclipse, the girls/women contemplate the state of American leisure, particularly, the Supposedly Fun™ pastime of cruise vacations. After taking an intermission to defend the TERF Queen from the usual suspects, they (aka Sarah) chastise second generation immigrants for being ingrates. Finally, another argument about psychotherapy (sorry!).

Brave conversations, interesting minds

Another great podcast for people who care and think deeply. Sarah Haider and Meghan Daum are excellent. I love the title and reference, a challenge from the start. Not a show for those looking to have their beliefs massaged and indulged until the brain becomes a soupy puddle. You’ll be smarter after listening to Sarah and Meghan.
