Humans are inconsistent and fucking weird. Not Quite is a nod to that complexity. Through deadpan humor and disarming questions, host Aneri Shah creates space for guests to be all of it: messy, contradictory, the full spectrum. Listen.

    Not Quite Amanda Knox | Women's Stories, Masturbating in Prison, and Meditation

    Amanda Knox hangs with Aneri Shah and talks about what really happened in Italy, how the world spun it into an orgy that wasn't real, and what it takes to forgive your persecutors (and yourself). We cover slut-shaming, metta-meditation, masturbating in prison, and asking your male friends for baby juice. You know, all the regular bases when it comes to true crime. In a first-of-it's-kind beyond the headlines episode, we get to see who Amanda Knox truly is. Not quite a former prisoner or sexual deviant. Just a girl.  Tune in. Hang with us. Love you.  Also available on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/not-quite/id1775940665 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@notquitebyaneri Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notquitebyaneri/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notquitebyaneri Read more of Amanda's words at: her newsletter: amandaknox.substack.com  and "Free" her latest memoir: https://a.co/d/anjQ0XG Catch our behind-the-scenes @ notquitebyaneri.substack.com

    Queer Girl Stuff, Post-Egg Drop Clarity, and That Indian-Mormon Crossover

From blurting out “I’m gay” post–egg freezing to full-blown postpartum ego death, Aneri goes deep with Whitney Uland (a life coach for celebrities—yes, really) on queerness, abortion and postpartum as strategy tests, and what you gain (and lose!!!) from breaking the f*ck open and away from their OG communities.

    Universe Builders, Permissionless Leverage, and Your Cheeky AI Clone

    Sometimes, your AI clone will get better gigs. That's just how it be sometimes. In this unique episode, I dive deep with Parth Patil—AI innovator behind Reid Hoffman's viral avatar—to yap about how writers (with our big, chaotic imaginations) are poised to become the next universe builders, why multidimensional storytelling is the new wave, and how as neurodivergent weirdos, we finally feel unsevered in the new world. Bye old world (but maybe we'll keep a few lil scraps). Cue excitement, a little existential dread, and all of the contradictory things that make us mushy humanssss.
