We’d even recorded with some of our friends.
As Jessica always says, it’s like we crawled out of a pile of dry leaves.
And in a culture that really devalues women as we age, I find them more and more interesting.
We were trying and failing!
to teach young children how to read.
She’s really fun.
She’s talking about her spray tan, and she’s looking forward to things.
RAPHAEL:A lot of what we talk about is grief.
People have really responded to it all.
Are most of your listeners coming to the podcast because they’re already fans of yours?
So that’s how I think it’s being spread.
Like rats spreading the plague!
Jessicajustfound out about a trove of messages she had from listeners.
I will say we spend a lot of time talking about Jessica’s relationship to technology on the show.
ST. CLAIR:I always say I could listen to June all day.
you’re free to hear it when she speaks; it’s like she’s savoring something.
Even if she’s told us a story 16 times, I just want to hear her say it.
I would listen to her read the phone book.
RAPHAEL:Jessica interacts a lot more.
I read almost everything listeners send in, but I don’t interact as much.
RAPHAEL:It is interesting because we do live in a misogynistic culture that dismisses and really hates women.
And there’s a deep distrust in and dismissal of “women’s” things or feminine interests.
But it’s no more ridiculous than, say, a lightsaber.
It’s no more absurd than many canons of male work.
We’re not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s really quite fine.
That’s another gift of aging that people don’t talk about: the freedom.
I can easily say, be on your way, kind sir.
No disrespect, but if you don’t want to listen, that’s okay.
I’ve always been told I have a face for podcasting.
But really,How Did This Get Madewas one of the first podcasts at Earwolf.
It was just me and June and our microphones.
Now, did we forget to press record for one of our guests?
Did she say some of the most life-changing things you’ve ever heard?
Are you looking forward to going back on set or into a writers' room?
RAPHAEL:I’ve actually been working.
This podcast has helped me transition back; it’s like a gateway drug.
So many of us are out of practice in terms of social interactions.
It’s a chance to laugh and remember that you’re a person in the world.
I’m craving a ritual.
If we don’t, it’s going to come outrealsideways.
Do you see live shows in your future?
We’re in the presidential suite.
RAPHAEL:I’m like, is this all about getting to a hotel?
Because we could go there on our own.
Let’s go to Cabo.
