2025/09/19

You never would have known today was Rosie the Resister’s first Substack Live—she was such a natural!She also absolutely destroyed Lawrence Winnerman and me at Fucked-up Friday, for good reason. While all our stories were truly fucked-up, hers was next level: ICE has “lost” about 1,250 immigrants who were former residents of “Alligator Auschwitz.”US media isn’t reporting on this story, as least not as of this airing; she pulled her story from Spain’s El Pais:The mysterious disappearance of hundreds

Kerala Goodkin, thanks for trusting us with your first-ever Substack Live appearance—you’re a natural! Discussing divorce isn’t always the most pleasant topic, but together we made it an informative, heartfelt and—dare I say?—fun conversation. Here’s Kerala’s latest essay we discussed today:Please have a read and follow Kerala—her Mom Interrupted publication has such nuanced takes on what it means to parent in 2025.Thanks again, Kerala, and huge thanks to all the Whatevers who delighted us in the

Special Note: We hit 101 paid subscribers yesterday, and are #53 on the New Bestsellers list! A dream come true—thank you!!Never before on The Daily Whatever Show have we had a chance to break news, and with Melissa Corrigan, she/her joining us live from Washington, D.C. this morning we got to do it on multiple fronts.First, Melissa told us about the eerie emptiness of the nation’s capital, and panned around to an almost completely empty National Mall. The city is occupied by a handful of National

2025/09/16

Huge thanks to Frederic Poag and The Opinionated Ogre for jumping in last minute when we had a last minute cancellation. (And aside to Erika Lee Sears—HMU so we can reschedule!)There’s never a dull moment when Frederic and Ogre get going, and today was no exception—we ranted about the media biases in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, and the lynchings in Mississippi, and the atrocity that The Washington Post no longer has any black voices in their Opinions section now that they’ve fired Karen

The Daily Whatever Show, Sept 15: Writers on Writing

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/09/15

Today on The Daily Whatever Show, our topic was Writers on Writing, and for once, we actually got to talk about it rather than be usurped by some piece of breaking news or another.We spent most of the show talking about Dana’s triptych of pieces about re-entering the world of dating after a long relationship. Check them out, and give the episode a listen!Thank you Sheryl- smarieblanca , Linda Sanford Wirt , The Bathrobe Guy (Robes) 👘 , Cindy , The One Minute Daily Boost , Nick Paro , Amie Simon ,

2025/09/14

It was such a joy to welcome playwright and political writer Stephen Robinson to The Daily Whatever Show!We covered a lot of ground! We discussed Charlie Kirk’s murder, of course. But we also dug into Wicked and how “Popular” is a villain’s song, one that demonstrates the power of evil to infiltrate the good in heroes. We got into the Simpsons and their amazing Halloween episodes. We discussed Stephen’s work writing for the AV Club, including that time he got to preview and as-yet unknown show

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/09/13

Having Julie Roginsky join us for Fucked-up Friday was a dream come true for us.And what a week to meet Julie. With Charlie Kirk’s murder (and the subsequent media spin-out,) Russia invading Polish airspace, and Senate Republicans destroying the Epstein bill, the news this week felt like a flood, one that’s left all of our nervous systems a bit rattled. Discussing these issues with Julie made everything a bit easier—as she’s a delight of a human as well as an insightful, whipsmart news commentator

2025/09/11

Welp. We were gonna talk about Dana DuBois’ latest series on her return to dating life, and Lawrence’s latest for Banner & Backbone about amending the Constitution, but other topics skewed all that planning.Take a listen and let us know what you think. In the meantime, read Lawrence’s piece, and ponder this—do we propose a 28th Amendment called the “Charlie Kirk Gun Reform Amendment”? I think so.Thank you Karen Marie Shelton , Chinupbutrcp , Nick Paro , The One Minute Daily Boost , Cat , Paul

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/09/10

Sometimes here at The Daily Whatever Show we try new things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Today, prime example.We were super excited to do our celebration for 90 paid subscribers (thank you!), and we had this brilliant idea that it would be fun to do an ASMR episode. We bought special dongles for our Yeti mics, and we were all set to jingle change, crunch rice cakes, and brush hair and all the other weird fun stuff that makes people ASMR-tingle.Only it didn’t work. Dana’s stuff would

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/09/09

We had the incomparable Füsun Aydın on this morning, ostensibly to talk about sex work in Amsterdam. But because she is amazing and an incredible writer, we spoke as much about writing and language as we did about anything else.We started by talking about Füsun’s most recent story, about the silence, absence, and mourning of early mornings. It’s a deeply felt and vividly rendered piece, which, according to Füsun, is partly because of the Turkish language and the way feelings and senses are so

Huge thanks to Shane Yirak for joining Dana DuBois and me on The Daily Whatever Show this morning! We spoke about the way the conversation around all issues in this country get framed, and how that frame is often right-wing and biased against any left-leaning perspectives.We spoke about the Overton Window, and Shane’s latest article:Not to be missed, I brought up my friend Grey Galaxie’s recent note about hot dog prices, and we decided that the Hot Dog Index is a real thing we need to be talking

Welcoming Carlyn Beccia to The Daily Whatever Show was a bit of a dream come true for me. I’ve long been a fan of her writing and was eager to meet the woman behind the clever words in all those sex and politics stories I’ve been reading on Medium and Substack.To our great delight, Carlyn exceeded our (already very high) expectations, and after we resolved a few technical hurdles, we had a fascinating conversation about banned books, sex education, drawing dicks (she’s drawn a lot of them!), and of

It was so great to welcome The Momster back to The Daily Whatever Show, and to meet baby Grace! We didn’t realize how much we needed some baby time in our lives till we saw her cute face, and especially as we discussed a heady topic like how to integrate work into our full-to-overflowing lives.Thank you Karen Marie Shelton , The One Minute Daily Boost , Marney , Sheryl , Robin Wilding , The Bathrobe Guy 👘 , Alieu jallow , Polly Walker Blakemore , Cynthia Marie Hoffman , Rachel Hendricks , Nichole

2025/09/03

So Dana DuBois and I were planning to talk about our most recent essays. But then with the Epstein press conference starting halfway through our typical podcast time, we decided to cut our time short, and to shift topics to talk about things to know about this historic press conference.Please know we don’t change our programming or timing lightly. This was an exception—and a worthwhile one.It was the least we could do to support the courage of the survivors who came forward, and the bipartisan
