UNSPEAKABLE PODCAST “Are You Are Becoming A Republican Or Something?” Sarah Hepola On Letting Down The Left Without Ever Leaving It
meghandaum.substack.com
This week on the podcast, author and podcaster Sarah Hepola is back! On her last visit to The Unspeakable, back in March, Sarah and Meghan talked about Sarah's bombshell Atlantic Magazine article, The Things I’m Afraid To Write. But they got a little sidetracked by some other subjects, including the barely-known details of the Stanford swimmer rape case, which Sarah has researched in depth. In this conversation, which was recorded exactly a week after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Sarah talks about the immediate aftermath of that decision in Texas, where she lives, and why the alarm bells on social media don’t necessarily correspond to the actual mood on the ground. She reflects on her own choices and wonders if those who will now be forced to become parents will find their positions change—in both directions—as the result of their circumstances. Finally, she and Meghan reflect on being called “neocons” by someone on Twitter and wonder what happened around 2014 that caused some of the freest and most privileged women in the world to reimagine their lives as a chronic struggle. Note: The Unspeakable Podcast will be on summer hiatus until Labor Day. In the meantime, you can check out Meghan’s new podcast with Sarah Haider, A Special Place In Hell, at
