This week host Jane Marie reunites with fellow This American Life alum and pulitzer prize winning journalist, Lisa Pollak, to listen to, and discuss, the stories they produced for This American Life while traveling to Houston to cover the experiences of people living through the aftermath of one of the worst disasters in US history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, host Jane Marie talks to NYT journalist Danielle Friedman about something WE DON'T TALK ABOUT. Menopause. Well, actually, around here we do. Quite a bit. Because it's incredibly important and an awful part of our medical system (current and historical) that both doctors and, subsequently patience, know so little about women's health in general and menopause specifically. So, let's ALL dig in to this rich and interesting conversation... right fellas? You can find more from Danielle here: Instagram: @daniellefriedmanwrites X: @DFriedmanWrites NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/by/danielle-friedman Website: https://danielle-friedman.com/about-1 You can also find a link to her excellent book "Let's Get Physical" here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645493/lets-get-physical-by-danielle-friedman/ Hosted on Acast.

This week The Dream presents a very special episode of a show that we adore - Hyperfixed. Here's how the wonderful people at Hyperfixed describe it: "Keenan always had this question about his mom's past, and he turned to us for help. And then we turned to him for help. A very special episode of Hyperfixed."
