The Daily Whatever Show, Sept 9: Sex Work in...

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

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

2025/09/01

There are lots of amazing ways to spend a Saturday morning of a three-day weekend, but talking with Stephanie Drury might be our new favorite.We knew we’d discuss her social media take-down of Mars Hill church back in the day and the rise of her popular Stuff Christian Culture Likes social media identity. But it was so much more. Today’s show covered the grief of losing one’s parents to the Evangelical church, yes, but it spoke so much more to GenX and our ability to heal generational trauma. And

Whenever Melissa Corrigan, she/her joins us for The Daily Whatever Show, we know the conversation will run deep. Today we dove into Christian nationalism, so yeah—we plunged in, heads first.Christian nationalism isn’t just an abstract threat; it’s a movement reshaping politics, education, and even our sense of community in America. Melissa, with her research and advocacy background, didn’t waste time pulling the curtain back on the ways faith has been weaponized into ideology.The biggest takeaway

Well, goddamn. So a gay dude, a bi dude, and a pansexual dude try to get into a podcast to talk about sexuality, and what happens? Substack crashes. Won’t let any of us start the Live or join one. What the actual fuck?Thanks to Nick Paro and Restream, we did it anyway! Thanks, Nick! For today only, The Daily Whatever was hosted by Sick of This Show. 😁And thanks to Dana DuBois who had another top secret spy mission, and graciously dropped so that we could add Jacob Summers and his pectoral muscles

2025/08/24

The very best part of Substack is meeting amazing writers who feel like best friends.That’s how we both feel about Ally Hamilton. We first met Ally when she commented on Dana DuBois’ viral essay, “Middle-Aged Men Keep Ogling My 16-Year-Old,” offering her firm-yet-empathetic wisdom to a troll who in no way deserved them. What she shared in today’s podcast about her experiences with men while growing up in New York City was at times hard to hear—but so important. It’s the story of how many of us girls

It’s always a pleasure when Mr. Troy Ford joins us all the way from Sitges! Today we chatted about the first three months of his novel, Lamb: a novel in snapshots, being released in the world. He shared his successes, his favorite reviews, and his plans for a sequel (!!). We also chatted about the potential overturning of Obergefell, and how Europeans DGAF about what’s happening in the US, even as most of them are horrified at the prospect of Americans losing marriage equality.It was a lively

As much as Lawrence Winnerman and I love podcasting—and we really, really love podcasting—our first creative love is always writing. So each week, we aim to dedicate at least one The Daily Whatever Show to talk about our latest stories.This week we each shared one (a sci-fi one for Lawrence, and a personal essay for Dana, as per usual).

Why is everyone talking about GenX these days?It’s hard to keep up with the recent onslaught of think-pieces about our overlooked generation, but today’s special guest Jonathan Small has done a damn good job at it.First the Wall Street Journal wrote about how we’re getting passed up for CEO roles. And Jonathan responded. Then the New York Times responded to the Wall Street Journal and called us all Losers, Baby. And again, Jonathan responded.Have a read, and be sure to check in for all three of our
