Adios Amigos: The Special Place Finale

On this most special episode, the ladiex say a tearless goodbye to the campaign of Kamala Harris, as well as to our little podcast. Yes, you read that right: This is the Very 👏 Last 👏 Episode 👏. After we are gone, we hope you finally realize how much we meant to you, and wallow in regret for not showing it nearly enough. But in all seriousness—you guys have been the best audience we could have wished for, and we will miss you! (Read more about our decision, here, if you would like.)Love, S&M This is a public episode.

Don't Blame Us (Penelope Trunk Returns)

In this episode, Penelope Trunk returns for another session of therapeutic sado-masochism. We relay listeners’ most personal questions and Penelope duly dismisses their trauma and punishes them for such public displays of vulnerability—everyone wins! We hope this leaves you with a sense of relief and lightness. It’s like a deep tissue massage for your (lame) psyche. And if not, don’t blame us. You knew what you were getting into.

Posting in a Post-Literate Age, or How We SURVIVED Mr. Beast Job Training

On this episode of A Special Place, the ladies decide to get their act together and learn how to do this YouTube e-lady thing right. But first, a tribute to the heroes at the Rescue the Republic rally, who dared to believe they can still draw a crowd. Finally, some handwringing about Kids These Days, and the anti-natalism conspiracy of car seat regulations.

When Nudes Attack!

On this sexploitative episode, the ladies discuss (disapprovingly, duh) a variety of recent steamy scandals: Olivia Nuzzi / RFK Jr. sexts, ex-COVID czar Jay Varma's pandemic sex parties, Chris Rufo's alleged Ashley Madison account, and more. Does anyone know how to have normal adulterous sex anymore? Where can Sarah get MDMA? Will Meghan, who just learned that eggplant emojis aren't invitations to go to the farmer's market, ever get the hang of emoji seduction? This is a public episode.

Parental Estrangement as Self-Care

On this episode, the ladies try and uncover the mysteries of AI, and whether it is about to take their jobs. Meghan says no, but is she in denial? Then, should you divorce your mom for worrying about your eternal soul? Is going "no contact" with grandma a form of self-care? Links * Why A.I.

Escape From NPR: Uri Berliner Visits Hell

In this episode, the girlx welcome special guestx Uri Berliner, journalist and famed NPR critic/apostate. Uri discusses his youthful attraction to public radio and how the slow erosion of many its ideals led to his decision to air his critique in the Free Press -- and, shortly thereafter, make his exit. He also reflects on how things have gone since the big leap. Was selling his soul to Bari Weiss worth it? (How can the girlx manage to do the same?) Note: This episode was recorded on June 18. Uri has since joined The Free Press as a senior editor. This is a public episode.

An excellent podcast with 2 brilliant people and terrific thought leaders. You both kick butt! Good luck.
Hader yes. Daum no.

Did these two ever get along? Hader is a thinker, living in the real world, Daum is ideological. They should have had their finale in private. It was painful to listen to Daum ‘s TDS resentment and hurt feelngs. Hader I would follow, Daum no.

You kept me informed and sane

I was a politically homeless, deconstructing Christian when I first started listening. You both gained my trust with your sharp, clear-eyed, intelligent conversations. I have since reconstructed my faith, and have settled into a calmer, more heterodox political mindset . . . thanks mostly to you two, who helped keep me informed and sane. I will miss your show a lot. Loads and load of Blessings to you both❣️
