If you’re interested in unexpected conversations that go uncharted places, are remotely self-aware and like to laugh, then please join me as I continue to find my public voice on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. (That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too. Follow Reclaiming on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

    Tig Notaro

    This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with the unflinching and fiercely funny Tig Notaro, a comedian whose honesty and humor have redefined the boundaries of stand-up. In this raw and revelatory conversation, Tig opens up about the life-threatening battle with C. diff that left her physically depleted, and the surreal moment that followed just months after —when she stepped on stage just days after being diagnosed with cancer to deliver what would become one of the most iconic comedy sets of our time. She also speaks candidly about the devastating loss of her mother, who passed away while Tig was still in the hospital herself, and how that grief compounded an already unimaginable chapter of her life. With her signature deadpan delivery, Tig reflects on how facing mortality reshaped her approach to comedy, creativity, and connection. She shares her thoughts on emotional growth, vulnerability, and what it means to truly reclaim your life in the aftermath of trauma.

  • In Season 1 of KAREN, we unpacked the explosive case of Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV.  After the first trial ended in a hung jury, the high-stakes case of Karen Read returns to court—and the pressure has never been greater. In KAREN: THE RETRIAL, we return to the courtroom—where the stakes are higher, the drama is deeper, and the fight for truth is far from over. KAREN: THE RETRIAL isn’t just about the verdict—it’s about power, perception, and who gets to write the story. Investigative Reporter Kristin Thorne is embedded at the heart of the action, bringing exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and real-time reporting from inside the courtroom. With new prosecutors, a relentless defense, and a public obsessed with every twist, we ask: Is Karen Read the victim of a malicious prosecution—or is there finally enough evidence to convict? And in a trial tried as much in the media as in court, how much does the truth even matter? KAREN: THE RETRIAL is your front-row seat to a legal battle where reputations, lives, and the very meaning of justice are on the line. Listen to KAREN: THE RETRIAL exclusively on Wondery+ and follow the show page to keep up on all the latest developments. You can join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.
