  • Ummm, no?

    The goodgood x Calloway driver isn’t the first unisex driver. Most are unisex. I agree the ad was terrible and I’m glad people reacted appropriately to it, but it was bad enough without adding on imaginary layers of misogyny. They had enough already. The more new episodes I listen to (whenever they come out) the more I notice a sloppiness. Just feels like y’all attained a certain level and are now just coasting. Y’all are giving yourselves so much credit for being an independent podcast and for ... more

  • Thank you, Amanda, Glennon, and Abby

    Amanda, your reporting on political issues is the only source of sanity and recentering I can find in the world right now, and you are not only helping me to understand the horrific political situation we are in, but the way you report is like a fortifying balm that at once soothes my frayed nerves of feeling hopeless and helpless, but makes me feel like I, too, can do hard things in my own life to help make the world a better place. From the bottom of my heart, from my inner terrified child, to... more

  • An island of sanity in an otherwise insane world

    Just listened to “Gloria, Gloria, Hallelujah.”Uplifting. Balm for my grieving soul, which is mourning the twin mighty oaks that fell within a week of each other: first Dolly, now Gloria. Thank you especially for those two episodes. Keep the faith. We are doing hard things.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why "We Never Fight" is a Red Flag: How to Fight Well with Priya Parker
Q: Priya, what makes a conflict worth engaging in within a relationship or group?
Relational longing signals that we still want to belong and be part of the relationship, so the conflict is worth engaging to pull the group closer and clarify our shared values. If the longing isn't there, we should rethink whether the fight is necessary.
(BEST OF) Gloria, Gloria Hallelujah: Gloria Steinem on How to Lead
Q: Why do you believe that every aspect of liberation is predicated on reproductive rights?
Gloria argues that reproductive freedom is foundational to gender equality because control over reproduction underpins power dynamics across society, and without bodily autonomy, other forms of liberation are unstable.
(BEST OF) Gloria, Gloria Hallelujah: Gloria Steinem on How to Lead
Q: Oh, does that line speak to so much. Can you tell us what you meant by that?
Gloria explains that the personal and collective burden of caregiving and ambition is shaped by systemic forces, and that acknowledging this reality is essential for meaningful change and for continuing to fight for movement-building.
(BEST OF) Dolly Parton: Thank You for Everything
Q: What's your favorite story that you've told about a woman's life?
Dolly describes a favorite narrative around women's resilience and the honesty of female experiences, highlighting songs that address motherhood, unwed mothers, and women who are counted out, which changed how listeners understood women's lives.
The Wild, Untold Story of How They Made Abortion Political: Witches, Healers & Liars | Amanda with Jessica Valenti
Q: What is the strategy and what is the end game?
The guests explain that the abortion fight is a proxy war for broader power and gender control, with strategies including messaging that frames abortion as a protection of family values, leveraging religious and political coalitions, and pushing legislative tools like fetal personhood and crackdown on abortion access to entrench power.
