Soon after his wife started experimenting with ChatGPT last summer, Rob* says her demeanor began to change. He says she started using mystical speech, running all communication through AI, and filed for divorce. Now, Rob is left to wonder how much he... more
This week and next, we’re talking to listeners about how chatbots are impacting their personal lives. Anna talks to a parent getting tips on how to raise a teenager, an American abroad who turned to ChatGPT for grief counseling, a therapist who says ... more

After being a long time listener and following across multiple production changes, I noticed I’d fallen off listening. I realized why after coming back and trying a few. DSM used to be a gentle but direct interrogation of hard to discuss subjects. Now it’s become a basic interview show, and this is not Anna’s strength. I’ve come to see her as pretty narcissistic, but the kind of narcissist who presents with faux insight (speaking as a psychoanalyst). This is fine in itself, it’s a common enough... more
I’m a therapist and Anna’s insightful questions and tender presence still amaze me and catch me by surprise again and again. An absolute favourite! (And I love her willingness to laugh!)
So you have a gay teacher who is encouraging male students to start a TikTok and they magically come out as gay? I don’t care where this guy has degrees from. He doesn’t seem very smart. Having been in the military in the 90s, we all knew who was gay and we didn’t care. It is not always the cisgender male’s fault sometimes it’s just your fault. Put yourself into dumb situations. Nobody hates you so stop being the victim. And when you’re out at 2 o’clock in the morning, other people are allowed t... more
I’ve been a long time listener and fan of Death Sex & Money for the longest time. I’ve enjoyed the thoughtfulness of Anna’s interviews and the dedication to storytelling. I was even more excited when the show got picked up by SLATE, and was given life once again.
However, I actually haven’t listened to an episode in about 6 months because the FREE version of interviews haven’t been up to the standard that I recognize, and now we are getting old, recycled stuff. All of the really JUICY stuff is b... more
This shows speed is ridiculous, and it’s way too often fails to download shows that supposed to be available. This has happened on the plastic surgery episode, and the last episode as well. While I like the show, I do not like the hassle of having to try to manually download it despite it being on automatic. On top of that manual downloads often do not work.
