SummaryThe Worst Oscars Ever?? with Michael Schulman
Feb 27, 202501:20:12Summary readyWhat do Lily Tomlin, Snow White, and Kenny Ortega have in common?

SummaryEmotional Labor with Rachel Monroe and Ash Compton of Bad Therapist
Feb 12, 202501:01:48Summary readyWhat is "emotional labor," and why is it probably not what your boyfriend accuses you of making him do when you want him to go to Ikea with you? Psychotherapist Ash Compton and journalist Rachel Monroe are here to tell the tale of how the term sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild coined—in her 1983 book The Managed Heart—has come to mean, well, almost everything. How is the term still useful? How can we use therapy language as a tool for growth or an excuse for avoiding it? And whose job is it to do these dishes?
