We’ve got an exciting lineup this week for The Daily Whatever Live podcast!
Monday: Hit Me With That GLP-1 Shot!
We’re gonna kickstart the week talking about Dana’s latest story, “I Took the Shot. I Didn't Expect It To Heal So Much More Than My Hunger.” This is a story about GLP-1s, yes—but it’s also about recognizing and healing generational issues around eating and diet culture,
Tuesday: Light Shines Through, Chapter 3: Jackie
It’s us again, this time chatting about Chapter 3 in Lawrence’s queer speculative fiction novel, The Shattered World Series—and yes, Lawrence will read it to us in that mellifluous voice of his.
Wednesday, July 30: Digital Misogyny 101 with Dr. Amber Hull
We’re thrilled to welcome the brilliant
for her first The Daily Whatever appearance! We first met her when she restacked Dana’s viral story “Middle-Aged Men Keep Ogling My 16-Year-Old” last week with some incisive commentary. We plan to dive into what it means to be a middle-aged, outspoken woman on the internet (and how to manage the misogyny we encounter), as well as learning more about Dr. Hull’s work as a women’s health physician who specializes in menopause, sexuality and aging, and kink as a tool for connection—as well as her life as a new ex-pat to Canada. Should be fascinating, so don’t miss this one!Thursday, July 31: Bathrobe Day to Celebrate 60 Paid Subs
