- Justice for Lindy
slate is now obsessed with dragging Lindy West as much as possible to cling to relevance and it’s really sad. I didn’t even like her book that much but I don’t think that it’s a good look for slate to be treating her like she’s evil because they don’t think she’s okay with her polyamorous situation. They might be right but I don’t think she deserves what they are doing to her. And slate hasn’t been good since Danny Lavery left anyway.

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!)
