  • Selective Outrage of Lena Dunham

    Lena Dunham, if you’re reading this, please explain something to me. You discuss the trauma of your rape, the importance of women lifting each other up, how the Suffragette movement only cared about white women etc etc…yet I’ve never heard you condemn the horrors of the mass rapes of Israelis October 7 (loads of videos taken gleefully by the perpetrators for you to watch). Nor have you ever mentioned that the entire Me to Movement has remained silent on this monumental atrocity. It sort of make... more

  • Inspiring

    This is my absolute favorite podcast! The guests are interesting & the conversations meaningful. Monica is genuine and has a way of making people feel comfortable, safe & special, all while being open & transparent about her own challenges. She adds to the conversation without disrupting the natural flow of the conversation which oftentimes leads to a deeper understanding of situations. I find this podcast inspiring, thought-provoking & the perfect way to start my day!

  • Bravo Monica!

    I have listened to most of the podcasts since the show was released, and I’m so inspired by what Monica has done with her life. I find her to be a genuine interviewer who is able to ask questions that a seasoned interviewer might not. I learn something new each time I listen. It makes me feel even worse for how horrible most of the country was to her when she was just a young woman, and I’m glad she made it through the bullying.

  • Thank you Monica! But COMMERCIALS?!

    I really like this show, and I have enormous respect for Monica Lewinsky. But, as a longtime Wondrey subscriber I pay for commercial free. Why then does this show suddenly have commercials? Minus 4 stars for that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anna Konkle
Q: And what was that process like for you guys?
Anna describes a process where the project faced heavy skepticism and rejection, but ultimately became a bold, directorally flexible approach to telling explicit, true-to-life coming-of-age stories, pushing boundaries while staying true to memory and emotion.
Laura Day
Q: Where does intuition start in a practical sense for someone listening now?
She outlines starting with a clear goal, narrowing attention, and using simple sensory data to verify predictions, rather than seeking a magical state.
Marilyn Minter
Q: What inspired you to push the boundaries of female sexuality in your work?
She describes growing up in a conservative milieu, encountering censorship and the double standards around women and porn, and choosing to explore images that empower women to own their sexuality rather than be passive objects.
Deeyah Khan
Q: What motivates you to sit with people you fundamentally oppose, and how do you manage personal risk?
A commitment to activism through storytelling and a belief that understanding someone's life story can reveal the vulnerabilities and pressures that push people toward violence. It requires courage, discipline to set aside baggage, and a focus on the possibility of human connection even when views diverge vastly.
Deeyah Khan
Q: Can you talk about your experience going to Charlottesville and what you see in America today?
The conversation highlighted the pervasiveness of fear and the importance of seeking common humanity. It underscored that while people may never agree, listening and recognizing shared human needs—belonging, safety, dignity—are essential ingredients for any meaningful dialogue and progress.
