Hi everyone, I'm Susie Weiss, and I've noticed there's just simply not enough podcasts in the world. So I'm launching my own. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Second Thought is a weekly show about pop culture. The stuff everyone's been binging, arguing about, obsessing over. Here's the thing about heated rivalry. I mean, even the most devoted swifties, I think we can agree, not our best work. We'll be hosting thoughtful conversations with culture's most important figures. Talk about genius.

Talk about generational talent.

Coming to headphones near you on

April 17th with a first guest you won't want to miss. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, Magna. How are you? I'm doing well. Thank you for thinking of me. Oh my God. Thank you for

doing this. Well, you are one of my favorite guests ever, period.

Oh, thank you.

And also, this will be such a delightful turn

because we just got off the air talking about, like,

pathological liars and how they end up becoming members of Congress and presidents.

And it just, like, it was so depressing.

It was the opposite of the kind of journalism that I promised you we would be doing.

Welcome to how to.

I'm Amanda Ripley.

Today, we're going to basically talk about the opposite of pathological liars who get elected into office.

We're going to talk about regular people who need to speak in front of a large audience

for whatever reason, people who want to be taken seriously without pretending to be someone

they're not.

My name is Yuzuha, and I'm a journalist based in Japan, and I have been working in this field for six years, mainly in digital,

and I cover business and technology.

You may have actually come across Zuzuhat's work in outlets like Reuters or BBC or news picks.

And although she currently works with the written word, she'd love to do more with the spoken word.
