Summary

How are we holding up under self-quarantine? Allison and Gaby offer (conflicting) advice to a listener about staying sane during the pandemic. They then discuss the hazards of social media and the spread of misinformation with Andrew Marantz, author of “Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians and the Hijacking of the American Conversation.” And later, the girls chat about sexism in politics. Light, fun stuff for a comedy show! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
