Call Your Mother

After trying for a year to arrange an interview, Jordana and Shannon finally sit down with New York Times journalist and novelist Taffy Brodesser-Akner. Yes, there is talk of New Jersey. But also, the group gets into divorce, the plight of successful doctors, being raised in a religious family, and what it’s like to profile celebrities.

Not So Big Summer

Jennifer Weiner, the fan favorite and longtime New York Times best-selling author returns to the podcast to chat with Shannon and Jordana about her quarantine bubble with bubbe, “zhuzhing” up her Zoom room, and why some people won’t wear a friggin’ mask. “It seems like such a basic thing to ask people to do. You put your shirt on and your shoes on when you go to the 7-Eleven, so now we’re going to wear masks!”

The Last Word (with Bess Kalb)

Jordana and Shannon speak with comedy writer and author Bess Kalb about her quarantine life as a new mom living with her own parents, writing for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and her recent memoir, No One Will Tell You This But Me. Her book is about an extraordinary love story — but not necessarily one you'd expect: It's a chronicle of Bess' relationship with her Jewish grandmother, a housewife who was anything but ordinary and who helped shape Bess' upbringing and sense of humor.
