    I love your podcast and am switching between old eps and new. Just listened to the Alex/Alix episode. I think there is an aspect that might have been missed that I picked up on in the doc. But I felt like Alex might be trying to make other pods on her network more sexual to fill a space. And Alix did not want to go there… it was nuanced… I was raised catholic too…

  • My FAVORITE podcast

    I have found the millennial anticapitalist, feminist, comedic duo in Caro and Katie that’s been missing in my life. The conversations are well-researched, intelligent and hilarious!! Giving Birth in America had me both horrified and cackling uncontrollably in public. My only complaint is that semiweekly is not frequent enough!

  • Annoying “Preview” Content

    While I enjoy listening to this podcast, there’s nothing more annoying than an episode cutting off mid-sentence and the rest being behind a paywall. I unfollowed.

  • it’s like selling ice to …

    Your show and respective books I’ve appreciated in terms of their analysis and criticisms of systems of oppression. I’ve found you both to express well-informed and respectful approaches. That’s why I’m stopping mid-July 12 episode to write this. When at 1hr 20:05 you compare marketing Botox to 20-somethings to “selling ice to an Eski@$”, I literally choked. Please research the use of this word by yt supremacists …and do better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Caro Episode
Q: How do you approach the tension between your public persona and the book's themes?
Caroline argues for separating art from the artist as a default stance, noting that readers bring their own interpretations and that the book's political and social commentary can stand apart from who she is as a person.
The Caro Episode
Q: How did the publishing journey for Yesteryear unfold, especially the auction and foreign rights?
She describes a rapid market reaction after the first pages convinced her agent it would sell, followed by a multi-country auction and decision to turn down an initial preempt offer to pursue potentially higher returns, with a strong emphasis on choosing the right agent and timing.
The Caro Episode
Q: What gives you the right to write Natalie's story the way you did?
Caroline explains that Natalie's voice emerged through a long process of finding what the character needed to say, emphasizing that fiction can explore complex truths about power, gender, and ambition without obligating the author to mirror personal beliefs.
Abortion: Say It With Your Chest
Q: Can you explain to us how Republicans turned abortion into a political issue over the last half century?
The anti-abortion movement was rooted in racism, stemming from the desegregation efforts of the 1970s and the use of abortion as a wedge issue to galvanize a political base.
Abortion: Say It With Your Chest
Q: Any thoughts on the presidential election? Any quick thoughts on the presidential election?
The Washington Post isn't going to endorse, but Diabolical Lies is emphatically endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
