Ep 35 – Brotopia and Russian Doll

Emily Chang’s Brotopia exposes the toxic monoculture of masculinity in the Silicon Valley. For Lin, it solidifies the conviction that journalists make compelling arguments in good stories backed up by a wealth of examples, so she recommends the book not just as an example of the perniciousness of promoting sameness, but for its energetic style.

Many good reviews have persuaded Margrit to go back to watching Russian Doll on Netflix, and they’re here to urge more people to enjoy its hopeful message that resilience comes not from individual struggle, but from finding your community of people who are not the same as you.
