slash events. Oh, sorry. It's hard to pick up on the subtlety of your wit.

Your mother asked you to tell your brother that he has a beautiful body.

That is so stupid.

Lindsay, tell him.

I'm Tricia Bobita. I'm Greta Johnson and this is the

Nurdette Podcast. Coming up we've got some voicemails from some lovely fan girl

moments from those of you listeners out there and fan boys and fan

boys but first we're gonna hear from Tavi Gevinson. Tavi is the editor and

founder of rookie mag.com it's a site for teenage girls and much of what you read there and see

there is made by teenage girls. It's a lovely place on the internet. Another safe

space for nerding out. What I love about Tavi is that she is celebrating both being smart and being cool in a really beautiful way.

Tavi is one of the smartest people I've ever talked to.

I don't like to play that up in opposition to her age because I think that sells a lot of other really a brilliant

teenagers short so let me just say she's not just one of the smartest teenagers

I've ever talked to she's one of the smartest people I've ever talked to we were

joined in this conversation by nerd at contributor Lauren Chulgin who has has nerded out about Tavi for a long time.

She even showed me that she has emails from 2010 when she emailed Tavi about something

she wrote on her blog and you hear a little bit more about how that played out in this interview with me, Tavi, and Lauren.

So what are you obsessed with right now?
