    Kathleen Hanna’s Memoir Rebel Girl (with Nora McInerny)

    “Girls to the front!!!!” Chelsea is joined by Nora McInerny (It’s Going To Be OK) to discuss Kathleen Hanna’s iconic memoir, “Rebel Girl.” From Kathleen’s journey as the lead singer of Bikini Kill to leading the Riot Grrrl revolution to starting the band Le Tigre, they dive into it all. There’s also Kathleen’s battle with Lyme disease, her romance with a Beastie Boy, and an absolutely epic run-in with Courtney Love, who shouts our new favorite slogan: "You can’t even read and I’m way more feminist than you!"

    We’re going on tour in June!

    Ellen DeGeneres’ Memoir Seriously...I'm Kidding (with Liz Culley)

    Ellen DeGeneres’ Memoir Seriously...I'm Kidding (with Liz Culley)

    *Patron-only Bonus Episode Teaser* Chelsea and guest Liz Culley (host of the Cool Cool Cool podcast) dissect Ellen DeGeneres’ second memoir “Seriously...I'm Kidding,” plus her first memoir, and that infamous Buzzfeed article. They delve into the dual realities of Ellen’s joyful public persona and the controversies that shadow her career. From pivotal moments from “The Ellen Show” with Dakota Johnson, Jessica Simpson, and Mariah Carey, to behind-the-scenes insights on her Christian Scientist upbringing and surprise vow renewal ceremony with wife Portia de Rossi, this discussion unpacks the complexities of Ellen's "be kind" brand, and the hardships she faced as the very first publicly gay woman to lead her own show on network TV.

    Margaret Cho’s Memoir I’m The One That I Want (with Joy Osmanski)

    Margaret Cho’s Memoir I’m The One That I Want (with Joy Osmanski)

    Join Chelsea and guest Joy Osmanski as they dive into the poignant and candid memoir of comedy icon Margaret Cho. Learn how Margaret uses comedy to survive her childhood, and later Hollywood, when she becomes the first Korean-American to be the lead of a 1994 sitcom that was based on her own life. (Hollywood quickly ruined that of course.) Margaret discusses everything from dating Quentin Tarantino to internalized sexism and racism to the good Karen in her life, and “Fat as a feminist issue.”

    If you or anyone you know is struggling, there's help available at Crisis Text Line by texting the word HOME to 741-741, or the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.
