  • Anna Rocks

    Anna Sale is a gem. Incredible interviewer. She’s a wonderful listener. The latest episode about people getting cosmetic procedures is strange… It’s worrisome that there are so many people who just can’t accept aging. DSM episodes are always thoughtfully done.

  • Better editing, please

    Easily half of every episode is indulgently unedited clips of Anna laughing, and laughing, and laughing in a way that, though it probably isn’t, sounds intentional and forced as a compliment to the guest. She can’t just chuckle, she has to laugh for 10 seconds straight, and they keep it in the episode. At this point, it’s beyond distracting. Misophonia folks beware this chuckle porn.

  • Great stories but miss old format

    I love listening to a lot of people tell their stories in an episode much more than one person being profiled for an entire episode, and it seems like the latter now occurs a lot more than the former.

  • Boo @ ad I keep hearing

    Very long time listener of this excellent show. I’m very disappointed to hear your wonderful voice doing ad reads for weight loss program “Hers,” Anna. It was especially off-putting in your most recent episode with the memoirist who was discussing her disordered relationship with her body and food. Weight loss simply does not work and the promotion of it is simply fatphobic. Please reconsider this sponsor, it is not a good look and is harmful to your listeners.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A War Photographer on the Limits of Bearing Witness
Q: Can I ask you about that? As you thought about how to capture, as you say, the long tail of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the US., you know, when you're a war photographer, you take a plane to where the action is and you show up and you take photographs of the action and the time between the action. How did you start?
It happened pretty organically in a way. As I started to drop kind of some of what I considered these like journalistic barriers of like having intimacy with the people I was photographing, I began to become friends with some soldiers.
Why Job Hunting Feels So Grim Lately, Especially for Gen Z
Q: Is it like you're in some portal on an online platform sending information exactly your cover letter?
Yes. And then nothing, it's all online now. Yeah, and then nothing. It just feels like very, very rough, I imagine it's the same for other people out there because they're doing the same thing.
Why Job Hunting Feels So Grim Lately, Especially for Gen Z
Q: Did you have those feelings of like, I don't know what to write?
No, I had no qualms of making fun of the fact that I'm unemployed. I think that probably does reflect the attitude of people my age, who don't feel that their identity is as tied to a career.
From Brazilian Butt Lifts to Botox: Your Beauty Confessions
Q: Why do you feel compelled to enhance your looks?
Out of a desire for self-confidence and to meet societal standards of beauty.
From Brazilian Butt Lifts to Botox: Your Beauty Confessions
Q: How do you feel about the way you look?
