Death, Sex & Money: My Eating Disorder Turned Into an Obsession With Money
Vivian’s eating disorder started in college. She meticulously tracked calories and the number on the scale. Once she graduated she became less rigid with food, but her fixation with numbers took a new form: budgeting and saving money. In this episode, Anna talks to Vivian about her long and complicated relationship to mental math, how tracking calories and paychecks has helped distract her from painful loss, and how she’s managing with her money anxieties now as she plans a wedding and prenup.
Want to hear more about relationships and money? Check out an episode we made all about wedding costs last summer. And if you heard last week’s episode about a mobile health care clinic in rural Virginia, we have an important update from local reporting on the high levels of executive pay at the Health Wagon, which just prompted the Virginia legislature to cancel $800,000 of line item funding for the nonprofit. It's a developing story we'll be following.

Trump Isn’t a Bug. He's a Feature.
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: live from Seattle.
Hear Me Out had its first-ever live show on May 4, 2024 — and it was such a great conversation that we wanted to make sure our podcast listeners heard it, too.
The Cascade PBS Ideas Festival was full of smart, unconventional thinkers on the biggest issues facing this country… so what better place to have a conversation about Donald Trump, and the future of this country?
It’s tempting to think of the MAGA ideology as an unprecedented threat to democracy. But is it? Or are the authoritarian, anti-democratic ideas percolating into our mainstream politics a feature, rather than a bug?
Historian and author Heather Cox Richardson joined us in Seattle.

HIT PARADE GIVES ME LIFE!
I've always loved the charts, and listening to the Hit Parade episodes has brought me sooooooooo much joy. Thank you thank you thank you 😊😊😊
Best podcast out there!
I’ve listened to the Culture gabfest for about 5 years and it has been the only podcast I’ve stayed true to...It is a delight to listen to all three personalities who so clearly love what they’re doing and are entertaining and insightful. I get most of my cultural material from the endorsement segments which is great.
The conversation and topics never fail to amuse and stimulate- I listen while walking in the mornings or on car trip home and hope it continues for many years to come. Thanks guys!
