Smoking Diary #37: Surprise Part 2, Writing in the Age of Cancel Culture

Sarah goes on another audio ramble into a time, not so long ago: "I don't know if it's the right side of history, but it's my side."
Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh swearing in at Senate hearing
Two houses, both alike in dignity …

It’s 5:44am in New York City, and your narrator is so spacey/overworked she published the last “Smoking Diary” on Wednesday, thinking it was a Friday. Whoops! Fortunately, she has more thoughts on this topic, so let’s do a rare sequel/double dip.

Topics of this audio riff include: Dinner with the great Mike Pesca and the great Andy Mills, two men who got to know cancel culture a bit too well; the culture-war misery of the Kavanaugh case; crying and laughing; how podcasters Meghan Daum and The Fifth Column encouraged me to “Be brave and call bullshit”; and a fateful meeting with Malcolm Gladwell.

Plus, a surprise NYC visit with Nancy!

The people’s heroes are … these guys???

All the secrets for paid subscribers.
