Thank you.

I'm going to Hi there guys.

I want to say that anymore.

Hi there, people of DISH.

Welcome to another Dish cast after last week's, really, I thought, rather riveting discussion of various ways of dying.

This week, we're going to move on to Alyssa Rosenberg and talk about what we don't actually haven't talked about enough, I think, on the Dishcast, which is popular culture and the general culture.

Some thought about parenting, children.

These kind of topics outside the usual, well, one hopes outside the usual cultural paradigm,

but of course nothing is outside the cultural paradigm anymore.

We will have to tackle that.

Alyssa Rosenberg, whom I've known forever, well, not forever, but quite a long time.

Writes about mass culture, parenting, and gender for the Washington Post's opinion section.

Previously, she was the culture editor at Think Progress, the TV columnist at Women and Hollywood,

a columnist for the XX Factor at Slate, and a correspondent

for the Atlantic. So almost as many magazines as I've been had over the years. I think that's

right. We'd have to do a, you know, a side-by-side telly, but we're at least close to tide.

Yes. I don't know where that's a sign of a good sign or a bad sign that we go through so

many. But yeah, and you were also, as I recall, you know, quite early in the online journalism

business. Yeah. No, I was sort of adjacent to all the baby bloggers back when that was a way that

you could still come up in journalism. And, you know, I don't think of myself

as that old. I'm 38, but it makes me feel like such a foggy, right? It's like, I had a blog on

blog spot. Like, I had a live journal. You could even know what live journal is.
