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.

Hey listeners, you may notice that my voice sounds a little different today. That's because all of us

at Slate, probably like you, are working remotely during this pandemic.

And so I'm using a different microphone, and I am recording this from inside the closet of my home.

And we really appreciate all of you sticking with us during this time.

And we hope to return the favor by being able to deliver an episode to you every week that makes surviving this a little bit easier.

And if you have any questions about how to get through this period, we will do our best to find some answers.

Just drop us a note at how toatslate.com. And in the meantime, please stay safe and healthy and away from crowds and keep listening.

To this day, I don't have pictures of her in the house. I can't look at it.

You know, in my professional life, I've taken care of children who ended up being murdered by

their parents.

And I've seen horrific abuse.

I don't think I can forgive her.

I don't think that she deserves forgiveness.

This is how-to. I'm Charles Duhick.

Each week, we talk to a listener who's struggling with something in their life and wants to know how to make it better.

Yeah, it's kind of unnerving to have kept this secret for so long and then to tell

it in such a public way.

This is Claire.
