Lindy West's Life in a Tripod

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith and today my conversation is with Lindy West. Lindy is the author of four books, The New York Times bestselling memoir, Shrill, as well as the essay collections, The Witches Are Coming and Shit, Actually, and her brand new memoir Adult Braces, out now. Lindy is the co-host of the comedy podcast, Text Me Back!!! and the author of the newsletter Butt News. Lindy was a writer and executive producer on Shrill, the Hulu comedy adapted from her memoir, and she co-wrote and produced the independent feature film, Thin Skin. Today we are giving you the second half of our episode with Lindy, which originally ran as a paywalled episode. When Adult Braces came out earlier this year, it just about broke the Internet with discourse around Lindy’s marriage, body, and so much more. We chatted about it all in this conversation—and today we are unlocking it so that everyone can listen! Paid subscribers also get transcripts, commenting privileges, and our bonus (audio only!) Indulgence Gospel segment. This week Corinne and I are answering your fat fashion questions! How are we doing layers in perimenopause? Best ways to combat chafing and chub rub? What are we doing about pants? Don't miss out!
