Welcome to the Double X Gab Fest for Thursday, January 11th, the Oprah 2020 edition.

I'm Hannah Rosen, a host of Invisibilia, and in the New York studios, we have June Thomas, the managing producer of Slate Podcasts. Hi, June. Hey, Hannah. And Noreen Malone and editor at New York Magazine. Hi, Noreen. Happy 2018, guys, it's 2018 and we're still together. So I want to say in our call-in show, we talked, we got into a whole discussion about feminist architecture, which was

completely new to me. And a lot of you tweeted at us, including tall women. We were talking about

You're serious? Yes, I'm totally serious. I know you. You will love getting that workout.

1:49.2
