About this listen

 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.© Copyright 2024 Meagan & Lindy

We won’t let that stop us 💫This week, we are reaching deep into the mail bag. Strangely, all animal-themed (ani-mail bag??). You know us so well! You know who we wish knew us a little less? A problematic little organization that is a homonym of our favorite flatbread. So sorry, Wes, we love those animals but we are not on board with the vibes. Stick to Chimp Crazy babe!But to cleanse our meaty palates, we get a truly lovely update from listener Elise on her bird friends, a grey catbird (aka Anthony Cosby-Knowles) and a cardinal (dba Guy Fieri) and we have such exciting news…there is a verrry special newcomer, an opossum who is yet to be named! What do you think about the names we suggested? Got any ideas of your own?

An abridged semi-exclusive limited release Very Special Episode previously only heard on our Patreon! That’s right. It’s 2 Shrill 2 Furious: Portland Drift—our rewatch series of Shrill. Specifically, we’re talking about the Pool Party episode written by the incredible Samantha Irby. And you’re gonna lose it, but we are joined by NONE OTHER than Sam Irby HERSELF.We’re talking about fangirling over Mary Cherry aka Leslie Grossman, jokes that were tragically cut, witches that didn’t make the final ep, lines that were all improv, and everything else we could remember about this (don’t mind if we say) honestly iconic episode.And because we are sneaky little snakes we cut half the content and are reposting the FULL thing on our Patreon as a bid for your wallets! Join us for as little as $1/mo, or as extravagantly as $12/mo. We promise it’s worth it. Hop over there to about Advil lady, crepe truck, Brazilian cheese balls, floormates: Manifest, big boy chair, and earnest thoughts <3 patreon.com/textmebackpodAnd in case you didn’t catch that little $12/mo mention…that’s right: new Patreon tier is dropping soon!
