Betraying a Friendship to Get a Viral Story

When blogger AJ Daulerio broke the Brett Favre sexting scandal in 2010, it became one of the biggest stories of his career. But it came at a cost: he had betrayed Jenn Sterger, the woman at the center of the story, who had confided in him as a friend and explicitly asked him not to name her. The fallout was immediate and lasting. Jenn became the target of relentless online harassment and scrutiny that has followed her for 15 years. AJ went on to face his own reckoning when his aggressive tabloid journalism eventually led to Gawker's bankruptcy, which upended his career. In this episode, both AJ and Jenn reflect on the toxic incentives of viral journalism, the lasting trauma of unwanted internet fame, and how a stray dog unexpectedly brought them back into contact after nearly a decade of silence. AJ now writes a newsletter and hosts a podcast about recovery called The Small Bow and writes an addiction advice column for Slate called Ask A.J. You can hear more of Jenn on her podcast, Not Today... with Eddie Pence and Jenn Sterger. Podcast production by Andrew Dunn Death, Sex & Money is now produced by Slate!

Why Chef José Andrés Googled ‘How to Be a Father’

José Andrés is at the helm of more than a dozen restaurants and is famous for the humanitarian work that his organization World Central Kitchen does everywhere from Haiti to Gaza. But when it comes to parenting, José says he’s often felt less than confident. In this episode, he discusses his somewhat rocky upbringing in Spain, his successes and struggles as a chef and restauranteur, and his frustration that parenthood doesn’t come with a set of instructions. This episode was originally produced in 2019 when our team was Katie Bishop, Anabel Bacon, Emily Botein, and Andrew Dunn with help from Stephanie Joyce and Joanna Solotaroff.

Isabel Allende on Grief, Ayahuasca, and Dating After 70

Isabel Allende didn’t publish her first book until she was 39, after losing nearly everything in the wake of the Chilean military coup. More than four decades later, she’s become one of the most beloved Spanish-language authors, with over 80 million copies of her books sold worldwide. After political exile, writing books became Allende’s way of making sense of the world. She wrote through divorce, affairs, and moving across continents. But after the devastating loss of her daughter Paula, even writing felt impossible, until her mother urged her to begin again. “My mother knew that the only way for me to walk the tunnel of grief was writing,” she says. In this episode, Anna and Isabel talk about loss, late starts, and new beginnings. Isabel met her most recent husband, Roger, in her late 70s, “an age when most people are knitting for their great-grandchildren.” Allende’s newest novel, “My Name Is Emilia del Valle,” is out now.

Gift that keeps on giving…

Authentic, warm, fun chats around 3 topics that can make anyone feel weird. Turning awkward things interesting & sad things charming isn’t easy - you guys are awesome at it. I feel a bit lighter after every listen:). Also - Anna Sale’s voice could soothe a 3rd degree burn & turn egomaniacs empathetic. So…if you guys aren’t too busy…? No presh but lots of options :) Love the show & truly appreciate what you all do. 🌼
Ditched because it used AI to write content

I liked the show well enough despite the vast range of unrelated topics and occasionally self-indulgent navel-gazing. But when Ana started a segment of her live show with “I asked AI to write…” I saw the fin of the shark as we passed over it.
Humane and fearless!

Love DSM And Anna - Hate Slates Choices of Advertisement

28 de jan.

Katie Skaw

Okay I’ve been listening to DSM for almost a decade. Anna Sale is an interview goddess - she is truly such a unique talent for seeing and being seen. However - in the Babygirl episode - which is all about women embracing their inner beast and not subscribing to societal pressures - each commerical was a freaking female directed weight loss app, method, etc. I have whiplash from going from the feminist discussions to “LOSE WEIGHT WITH HERS”. The transparency of Slates Marketing and Comms team assessing the demographic market of DSM and selling to this companies is comically ridiculous. Anna Sale and DSM are awesome, Slate be better with your targeted marketing.
