NOTE: This interview took place before Daniel Mallory Ortberg came out as a man, so you'll hear me call him by his previous name and use female pronouns.

Here are the rest of the show notes as they ran in May 2017:


We conclude our two-part conversation series around The Handmaid's Tale, which you can find in an Audio Drama form over at Secrets, Crimes, and Audiotape. This week, I had the great pleasure of talking to Mallory Ortberg, a writer, culture critic, and advice columnist. She's Dear Prudence over at Slate, and she used to run a magnificent site called The Toast.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Handmaid's Tale and White Feminism
How to avoid becoming an Internal Expat
* Fending off the Republic of Gilead

and much, much more!
