The podcast episode reflects on the host’s reluctance to re-listen to past shows, particularly one about the last election, due to memories of being wrong. The latest episode features discussions with Denny Carter on coping with political realities and navigating feelings of despair and frustration. The hosts acknowledge their difficulties in addressing the harsh changes in politics and society, focusing on their methods of coping, the importance of mutual support, and the challenges of articulating their feelings amidst overwhelming negativity.
We are, of course, wrong all the damn time on this podcast; it is something like our brand.
We talked a bit about how we approach writing honestly about incredibly dispiriting stuff, but mostly stuck to our coping processes.
There is not really any solving that, at least at this moment, and so we talked about how we deal, what we owe each other and ourselves.
Living in a moment of such astonishing cruelty presents challenges that cannot easily be resolved.
