  • Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette Cancellation Was Inevitable

    Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette Cancellation Was Inevitable
    Mar 28 2026

    On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by New York Magazine features writer Rebecca Jennings, who recently profiled the now-cancelled Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul. Paul’s season was pulled after a video of her 2023 domestic violence incident was published by TMZ, following news of another domestic violence investigation from February of this year. While the video is upsetting, knowledge of Pauls’ 2023 arrest is not new, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives continued to use her volatile relationship for ratings. Now, parent company Disney is turning on her over a situation that may be more complicated than it seems.

    A Lemon Pound Cake Just Saved Free Speech
    Mar 25 2026

    On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Jonquilyn Hill, host of Vox’s Explain It To Me podcast. First, they recap musician Afroman’s free speech victory in court after he used security camera footage to make music videos for his songs about the police raiding his home in 2022. While songs like “Lemon Pound Cake” will live to see another day, Justin Timberlake’s legacy may be in peril now that footage of his infamous DUI arrest has been made public. But it’s what the footage doesn’t show that’s most concerning…

  • Why The Internet Is Arguing About Its Favorite Feminist

    Why The Internet Is Arguing About Its Favorite Feminist
    Mar 21 2026

    On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Slate senior writer Scaachi Koul, who profiled author Lindy West. West’s new book, Adult Braces, details, among many things, her coming to grips with being in a polyamorous relationship. But opening up this complicated story to an audience has incited a tidal-wave of feedback about not just West, but also her partners, Aham Oluo and Roya Amirsoleymani. West is no stranger to online trolls, but something about this time feels different—and the way she and her partners are responding (including in emails to Koul herself) is only making things worse.

this episode left me feeling annoyed. "all the words are Black/LGBT words. it's hard to trace the actual origin of words and we only know 1 for sure has a documented Black origin. but all the words are Black/LGBT words."
"it's cringe that they used cringe. I can't believe how cringe it is. isn't it so cringe?" 😒
and the solution to using the current internet vocabulary without commuting cultural appropriation: give money to black people and be Bruno Mars.
