Tom was not there for me emotionally or physically, he was not present, and I think he felt

there wasn't much for him to do, and also I think he felt that I was cared for because

our income allowed for me to have a lot of domestic help at home.

And I'm obviously incredibly grateful for that, and it's wonderful, but it's a substitution

for the kind of community that you really need to raise a baby, hopefully.

I'm Emily Radikowski, aka MRADA, this is High Low. High Low is a podcast where we talk

about low brow things and a high brow way and vice versa. I'm interested in marrying

everything high and low in a way that raises big questions and gets us all to think a lot.

Today I have Sarah Hoover on. Sarah Hoover is one of my closest friends. She's an incredible

writer, a force to be reckoned with. She's uptown New York, she's downtown New York, she's

working on a book called Motherload, which I'm very excited for you all to read. I've

had the pleasure of reading quite a few different versions of it. We are going to be talking

about so many things today. Marriage, childbirth, patriarchy, the medical industry, art world,

raising boys, we cover a lot of topics, I'm very excited about it. So please enjoy Sarah

Hoover.
