This was such. a good episode. Like, it just makes me so happy that it exists as an episode it was so good. It had Lindy West in a really satisfying and well-reflected-on conversation with a man who used to troll her, it had an exploration of the sexism of complaints about women's vocal fry, it had a thoughtful story about comments on a live feed of a wild Osprey nest, and it ended with a great piece on one man's work to create an email app that would help address his anxiety.
