This episode almost did not happen because of some extreme traffic delays. My guest today, Molly Jean-Fast was delayed and delayed and delayed. She got stuck in an experience I've had many times.

When I lived in New York and when I visited where you think a journey is going to take you 11 minutes and it takes two and a half hours or whatever. She got caught sideways but I was quite proud of us as we talked about the beginning of the episode.

We handled the very calmly, normally when stuff interrupts for me and I'm frazzled and then I'm cascades into the rest of my day.

But I feel like I was very chill about it. As chill as I would like to be all the time when stuff like this happens and it was no problem and Molly was wonderful.

Why I wanted to have Molly Jean-Fast on the podcast. I actually love her writing at the Atlantic. She wrote a really touching piece about talking to her teenage children about a number of recent school shootings that really touched me.

How do you talk to kids about a world that feels like it's falling apart or that horrible things are happening in?

Her feminist writings have been really interesting to me. Her mother, Erica Jean, is a very famous writer. Her 1973 novel, Fear of Flying, so like a bazillion copies.

And then became very relevant once again with some recent legal decisions here in the US.

And I recorded this well before that ruling but Molly's writing over the last year or two has been eye opening to me.

I follow her on social media as well. She's great there. She's a contributing editor to the Atlantic. She's an author of a newsletter there.

Weight what which is really good. She's the host of the new abnormal podcast and a columnist provogue.

And her stuff on parenting is fantastic. She's the author of two novels, Normal Girl and a social climber's handbook and a memoir girl maladjusted which center around her wildlife as a girl in the 1990s in New York.

Could follow her on Twitter at Molly Zhang fast. That's J-O-N-G-F-A-S-T Molly Zhang fast. You can subscribe to her newsletter on the Atlantic. I'll link to that in today's show notes.
