Megan Daum

Welcome to A Special Place in Hell, the podcast where an aging Gen X author and a self-hating millennial activist come together to thoroughly and conclusively solve our culture war problems with our combined wit, wisdom, and most importantly, lived experiences. I am the aging Gen X author, Megan Daum, and with me is the self-hating millennial, Sarah Hader. Hi, Sarah. Hi.

In the culture wars, there are no winners, just podcasters. Only a few are willing to risk their lives in the face of some of the dumbest ideas to have ever captured human civilization. Every week, we, Megan Daum and Sarah Hader, humbly accept this mission to bring you conversations that are equal parts stunning, brave, and accomplished. Mission accomplished. Our work is done here.

Let's work on that metaphor. All right, well, please—okay, everyone— I don't know what to say. I know you're crying. You thought you were upset about the election, but now you can be upset about this.

Look, I mean, okay, the paying subscribers can leave comments. Everybody else, they can tweet at us or leave YouTube comments or whatever.

All right, everyone.

What about the gender thing? Because a lot of these tech guys are... Gender stuff is like a cult.

It's like, why is it so important to deny this?
