| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. We wanted to tell you about a new show we are loving, the Culture Study podcast with Anne Helen Peterson. It's a show about exploring the nooks and crannies of the culture that surrounds you. Each week, Anne and a super smart co-host answer listeners questions about the stuff they find interesting and perplexing like, why do clothes suck now? Is Paw Patrol copaganda, or is it not that deep? |
| 0:22.8 | And what's the deal with everyone I know getting a divorce? |
| 0:25.6 | Like Anne's tremendously popular newsletter, the Culture Study podcast is funny, insightful, and kind of weird. |
| 0:32.3 | And it's guaranteed to help you become the most interesting person at parties. |

| 1:31.8 | I'm in D.C. and Lindy is in Seattle. And so we are forced to feverishly text each other truly the worst news that we can find. |
| 1:41.5 | You know, this podcast is a representation of what we're doing in our everyday life, |
| 1:45.9 | which is processing the downfall of Earth in real time from coast to coast. And that includes |
| 1:52.5 | Megan's interests, which have dignity and import, such as governance, and my interests, which are |
