  • Love this show!

    Chelsea is fabulous. I don’t even like memoirs, but I found this thru a crossover years ago, and I stayed for the stories and the thoughtful commentary. Skip reality TV and guest host episodes, and WOW do I wish we could rate guests because there are a few folks who are unlistenable, like the Rita Moreno episode. Bring a timer if you’re invited to be a guest and do not make everything about you. Chelsea makes it look easy and clearly it isn’t!

  • Lena Dunham episode

    In general, I love this podcast, however I was very disappointed in the Lena Dunham episode. I read the book myself and their clear avoidance of discussing the Jenni Konner situation and Jenni’s treatment of Lena was a huge misstep. It was a huge part of the book and an important topic.

    I noticed that Chelsea comments on Jenni’s Instagram posts, so I was curious how it would be handled. When I saw she passed off hosting the episode, I thought maybe Chelsea felt she couldn’t be objective. But Si... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dueling Memoirs: Victoria Beckham vs. David Beckham (with Cathy Cullen) [REPLAY]
Q: Which parts of the books stood out as most revealing about their relationship?
Key moments include the contrasting takes on early courtship, the wedding planning versus wedding execution, and the way both discuss power dynamics and family priorities in sustaining their marriage.
Viral Article Book Club: The Loneliness Influencers
Q: What is your overall take on the loneliness influencer trend?
The trend is nuanced: it can be both aspirational and harmful, offering solace and community while sometimes projecting a curated, inauthentic lifestyle; honesty and structured real-world actions can transform online vulnerability into meaningful connections.
Julia Child’s Memoir My Life In France (with Tess Barker)
Q: Did reading this book elevate your life in any way?
The guest reports a transformative takeaway centered on not apologizing for one's work and embracing perseverance, while the host finds the book's approach to presence and craft inspiring, though they acknowledge the emotional complexity and private aspects left unexplored.
Julia Child’s Memoir My Life In France (with Tess Barker)
Q: Was it entertaining to read?
Both hosts find it immersive due to the rich culinary detail and historical context, but one host also notes that for them the book was harder to read because of certain culinary emphasis; overall, it's described as entertaining and vivid for many readers.
Julia Child’s Memoir My Life In France (with Tess Barker)
Q: Was the author vulnerable in the sharing of her truth?
The guest leans toward a soft yes, acknowledging that while the memoir presents a candid, reflective portrait of Julia's life and craft, some deeper personal chapters or struggles may be underplayed, leaving room for implied vulnerability in the lines between the documented events.
