This Week on The Daily Whatever Show (week of Aug 18)
Join us Live every weekday at 10am ET/7am PT, and on Saturdays at noon ET/9am PT
We’ve got some amazing guests and topics lined up for The Daily Whatever Show this week!
Let’s just jump in and tell you all about them, shall we?
We shall.
The Daily Whatever Show schedule:
Monday, Aug 18: About a Sleepless “Banner & Backbone” Launch Weekend
just launched a brand new publication called (with friends of The Daily Whatever and ). And they launched in an epic way—with a 24-hour Live marathon. And truly, it was EPIC. So we’re going to start the week by catching up with Lawrence and hearing all about it.After he gets a really long nap.
Tuesday, Aug 19: Who’s (Not) the Boss? GenX, Apparently.(with Jonathan Small)
The Daily Whatever Show is excited to welcome back
of Small Talk, a self-professed “GenX whisperer” and damn fine human to know. He wrote a wicked retort of a story called The Wall Street Journal Says Gen X Is Getting Passed Over for CEO Roles. We especially loved his subhead:“They blame bad timing and lack of vision. I call bullshit.”
We agree. We think GenX is exactly primed to lead, right now. And we can’t wait to talk about why and how with Jonathan.
Wednesday, Aug 20: What We’re Writing
As much as we love podcasting, we here at genXy are writers at heart. So we’re always gonna tell you about our latest and greatest stories. This week, Dana brings you the conclusion of her virtual love story with “Falling in Love Through My Thumbs, Pt 2.” And Lawrence will read the latest chapter in his speculative fiction serialized novel, The Shattered World Series (link to come soon).
What are you writing this week? Be sure to join us and weigh in with your latest project in the comments.
Thursday, Aug 21: On Obergefell (with Mr. Troy Ford)
It’s been a minute since we hosted one of our favorite authors and expats
to The Daily Whatever Show! He may live in Spain now (who us, jealous??), but he’s still got an eye on the challenge to Obergefell and marriage equality in the U.S., and we’re eager to talk it out with him. It’s also been a few months since the release of his debut novel, Lamb, and we’re eager to hear more about how life as an official published author is going.Friday, Aug 22: Fucked-up Friday (with Ellie Leonard)
Fucked-up Friday is our favorite day of the week, when we invite a special guest to join us, and each of us pick what we think was the most egregious news story of the week… as a competition. In the end, our Live audience (aka “The Whatevers”) votes for the very best fucked-up story. This week we’re beyond thrilled to welcome
from Red Pencil Script as our guest!We first met Ellie during the
24-hour Live this weekend and we’re blown away by her incisive commentary and immense knowledge around the Epstein case. Turns out, she’s a professional researcher and writer who’s worked on some spectacular projects.Fucked-up Friday is always amazing but this week’s episode with Ellie is going to be next level. Don’t miss it!
Saturday, Aug 23: GenX Feminist Hot Takes (with Ally Hamilton)
first got our attention when she left some incredible comments on Dana’s viral Middle-Aged Men Keep Ogling My 16-Year-Old story. Her latest story You Do Not “Owe” Your Husband Sex is yet another exasperated GenX feminist sigh of, I can’t believe this story needs to be written. Don’t men already know these things already? The comments section always lets us know—no, no they do not.
So we’re bringing Ally on to deconstruct both stories, and to share our wish that we’d rather be writing about what fills us with joy, rather than shining a light on men’s bad behaviors.
And yet, here we are. This episode is recommended for feminist killjoys and allies of all sorts.
Be sure to join us each weekday at 10am ET/7am PT, and on Saturdays at noon ET/9am PT for The Daily Whatever Show!
We love you, mean it!
Lawrence Winnerman and Dana DuBois (Troublemakers in Charge at
)
