The Unspeakable Podcast
Author, essayist and journalist Meghan Daum has spent decades giving voice—and bringing nuance, humor and surprising perspectives—to things that lots of people are thinking but are afraid to say out loud. Now, she brings her observations to the realm of conversation. In candid, free-ranging interviews, Meghan talks with artists, entertainers, journalists, scientists, scholars, and anyone else who’s willing to do the “unspeakable” and question prevailing cultural and moral assumptions.
I listen.

I feel your pain Meghan. Must everything be on video? Especially since YouTube now resembles the National Inquirer with all of its thumbnail sensationalism. It’s a deep disservice to those earnestly creating thoughtful content. I found you on audio and have learned so much over the past year. So, even if I tune in to The Unspeakable via YouTube, to help boost your rating and feed the algorithm, reality is, I’m just listening. Thanks for your fine work.
Lionel Shriver is a hypocrite

She’s all “rules for thee not for me”. She conflates SAHM with becoming a parent. Because middle class girls and women can simply travel out of state that means everything is okay, screw poor women. I am more perplexed than enraged. She thinks she is the exception, but if she was 40 years younger she’d be lumped in with the rest of us childbearing age women. You are the childless cat lady. They are talking about YOU.
Don’t always agree, but that’s what I love

I originally wrote the review below. Then today I listened to your interview with Lionel Shriver. Yikes, too much. I am not interested in listening l to this type of hateful talk—on either side. I’m disappointed you went this far. I’m sure you’ll find an audience…plenty of folks who thrive on hateful talk versus intellectual banter/exploration. This podcast is like weight lifting for the brain—It challenges me to learn new things and expand my thinking beyond what I’m typically hearing. Thank you for your valuable contribution to meaningful conversations and information sources.
A breath from corporate conformity

This podcast has been my introduction to “heterodoxy” (whatever that means) and I’m thoroughly enjoying it, though I regularly disagree with Megan and the occasional guest. I’d rather buy a book than subscribe to a podcast, so I’ll be showing my support in that way. I’m grateful you’ve changed the subscription model to get more of these great conversations out there.
