Summary

Sarah Marshall is a writer and hosts the podcast You're Wrong About. ”I love it when people tell me that listening to the way I talk about these people in the stories that we tell, and just about the world generally, has made them practice empathy more. I almost feel like I have preserved this a-little-bit-past version of myself, because I've been on this journey throughout the pandemic of becoming pretty cynical, and then deciding cynicism is a luxury and that it feels better, ultimately, to try to believe in people.” Show notes: remembersarahmarshall.com Marshall on Longform You're Wrong About 05:00 "Your 2012 Baby Name Guide: Puritan Edition" (The Hairpin • Jan 2012) 08:00 "Remote Control" (The Believer • Jan 2014) 12:00 "The End of Evil" (The Believer • Feb 2018) 17:00 "Talking Tammy Faye Bakker w.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the long form podcast. I'm Aaron Lammer. Hey, you might remember
0:14.4	me from a podcast I did called Exit Scan. I'm here with my co-host Max Linsky. He did
0:19.7	a podcast called 70 over 70 and of course Evan Ratliffe by his book The Mastermind.
0:26.3	Say Masterpiece. Hello. Hey you guys. Good to be with you. Good to be with you.
0:32.0	Aaron, thank you for that kind introduction. Well, I'm feeling good because, well, last
0:39.1	week we announced that we would be shutting down the article recommendation service that
0:45.1	we've been running for over a decade at longform.org. The outpouring of very sincere gratitude
0:54.5	and true disappointment on behalf of all of the people who enjoyed it has been really
1:00.0	validating. So thanks to everyone who has sent a nice message to us. Yeah, we've gotten
1:04.9	a lot of them and it really did mean a lot. I feel like this probably just says more
1:09.1	about my psychology than anything else, but I really thought the only options were one
1:14.4	people would be mad or two, no one would care. And it was not that thing. People seem
1:20.2	to have appreciated the website that we did for almost 12 years. And it really meant
1:25.2	a lot. All those notes really really meant a lot. People were so sad that I almost was

1:33.1	that's I'm not I'm not saying that that's that's that's not the message from this. Don't
1:37.4	don't tease the people like that. But what you should do is tease this interview. Who
1:42.7	did you talk to? This week I talked to Sarah Marshall. She is the host of the podcast
1:48.4	you're wrong about, which I'm a big fan of. For people who haven't listened, you're
1:53.6	wrong about takes an event from the past, often from the 1990s or millennium era, which
1:59.0	is of course my favorite era and revisits it both as a form of media criticism and a
2:05.4	form of what really happened. And it's a lot funnier than that sounds and a really interesting
