About this episode
Many of us have had the feeling over the last few years that things were just not adding up, that the narratives in the mainstream media simply were not making sense. Well, my guest on the podcast today had that experience earlier than most, years back, with online feminism – and it sowed the seed that became her most recent book.
Meghan Daum is an essayist and the author of six books. She’s a former opinion columnist with the Los Angeles Times, and the host of weekly interview podcast, The Unspeakable. Her latest book is The Problem With Everything: My Journey Through the New Culture Wars, and it was recently released in paperback in Canada, with a new introduction. Meghan joins Tara for a wide-ranging conversation, to talk about the excesses of #MeToo, about cancel culture, about Elon Musk, and about the rise of heterodox thought.
