“Sesame Street” recently announced it is coming to Netflix. The deal is a lifeline for the 56-year-old kids' show, which has struggled after getting dropped from HBO and now has to deal with federal funding cuts for educational programming. With public media under attack once again, Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Monica Hesse talk about whether things like “Masterpiece Theater” or “Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood” or NPR are still important — and can still survive — in today's political and cultural landscape.

But will AI be more disruptive than anything we've seen before?

Is nothing safe from the culture wars? President Trump has found a new battleground: the nation's museums. He's demanded that art and stories that he says divide people based on race be removed from the Smithsonian's dozens of institutions. The Post's Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Monica Hesse discuss what's at stake when our history is papered over, and how art can make us uncomfortable or overwhelmed, but sometimes that's the point. Additional reading by our columnists:Monica Hesse: What exactly does Trump think is in the Smithsonian?Monica Hesse: Don't say (Enola) GaySubscribe to The Washington Post here.

Why are so many people talking about two escapist, engrossing TV dramas that let us slip away from our reality for an hour each week? Is it just that this kind of complex, big-budget television show is so rare these days? Columnists Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Monica Hesse talk about the valley on the other side of “peak tv” — and how sometimes you just need shows you can watch while folding laundry.

When a few dozen women in pink suits strode into the House for the joint address to Congress last week, something felt a little, well, off. Partly, it seemed taken from a tired old playbook. Partly, it sent a garbled message. But mostly it pointed to the fact that many liberal women don't know what to do in this post-resistance era. Columnists Molly Roberts and Monica Hesse speak with contributor Carolina A. Miranda about the backlash to “girl boss” culture, how women on the MAGA right are finding their look and why the aesthetics of it all matter.Additional reading by our columnists:Monica Hesse: Democrats sent a scary message with those pink outfitsCarolina Miranda: Welcome to the era of Trump Trad Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

On this episode of “Impromptu,” Opinions columnists Shadi Hamid and Heather Long talk with Style columnist Monica Hesse about what's really behind the baby bust and whether we just need to prepare for a lower fertility future. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) has publicly gone after Congresswoman-Elect Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first transgendered woman elected to Congress, saying McBride should not be allowed to use women's restrooms anywhere in the US Capitol. This has ignited a major nationwide conversation. Michael welcomes Washington Post columnist Monica Hesse to talk about the piece she's written on the topic, "Does Nancy Mace Know How Women's Bathrooms Work?" Original air date 22 November 2024.

Many economists and politicians are alarmed that Americans, like others around the world, are having fewer kids. But, apart from wanting a growing labor force, is this really a problem? Opinions columnists Shadi Hamid and Heather Long talk with Style columnist Monica Hesse about what's really behind the baby bust and whether we just need to prepare for a lower fertility future. Read more from our columnists about this topic in the Washington Post:Editorial board: A reader quiz on world birthrate -- and what it means for the futureMonica Hesse: The birth rate is still sluggish. Don't blame the birth givers.

From NFL superstars to TikTok moms, discussion about the role of women in society have been all over the internet for months. Monica Hesse, columnist for The Washington Post's Style section, who frequently writes about gender and its impact on society, discusses her recent essays on the rise of 'tradwives,' and how most people's lives intersect and diverge from the "tradwife" life.

Some women are retreating to stereotypical, retro gender roles that embrace the patriarchy. Known as “tradwives,” they are all over TikTok. Style columnist Monica Hesse, letters and community editor Alyssa Rosenberg and senior editor for Opinions Amanda Katz discuss how this trend exposes a continued struggle over equality for men and women in modern society.Read Monica Hesse's column: Tradwives, stay-at-home girlfriends and the dream of feminine leisureRead the Cut article that kicked off a lot of recent controversy over #TradWives: The Case for Marrying an Older Man

And yes, I am available for speaking engagements.]Good morning, folks!It's that time again. Here are five positive things that'll hopefully make you smile, make you laugh, and make you think. And in case you missed it, check out last week's edition.1. Tom Junod's 1998 Esquire Profile of Fred RogersI'm going way back for this one because it's so damn good. In 1968, Rev. Fred Rogers, better known as Mister Rogers, launched his iconic program Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which ran for 33 seasons and captured the hearts of several generations along the way. Five years before his death, he was covered by journalist Tom Junod for Esquire in what is widely considered one of the best celebrity profiles ever written. Every now and again, I go back and read it and marvel at Mister Roger's approach to life and the gorgeous and moving way in which Junod captures it on the page. It's the kind of piece that dares you to have a bit more faith in humanity, my favorite genre. It was also the basis for the 2019 feature film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, starring Tom Hanks.2. David Mack's Interview With a Disgruntled Oompa LoompaA few weeks ago, a disastrous “Willy Wonka chocolate factory experience” in Glasgow, Scotland went viral for being, hands down, one of the funniest and most intriguing public failures in recent memory. It was so bad that the whole thing was shut down within hours of opening after pissed off parents called the police and demanded refunds. This may sound pretty negative, but trust me: it's definitely the laugh you need. David Mack of Vulture landed an exclusive interview with Kirsty Paterson, a very poorly paid actor who played an Oompa Loompa and went viral for an iconic photo of her agonizing role in the production. 3. WaPo Columnist Monica Hesse Takes On Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's BrandSo, I have a cardinal rule that I follow pretty zealously: I don't mock or criticize anyone's personal appearance, even people I may find particularly unsavory, because how someone looks is, I believe, immaterial to their character. If someone sucks as a human being, aren't there valid reasons to criticize them without resorting to personal appearance? That said, I also don't like hypocrisy, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the retiring senior senator from Arizona, has a fairly solid claim to the Biggest Hypocrite on Capitol Hill. Part of that hypocrisy is the way in which she intentionally uses clothing to code as an open and enlightened elected official while holding political positions that are anything but open and enlightened. It's quite a frustrating dynamic, and fortunately, Washington Post columnist Monica Hesse has delivered a humorous nugget of an essay getting to the heart of the matter.4. Saturday Night Live + ScarJo Brilliantly Parody Sen. Katie BrittThis past week, Pres. Biden delivered his State of the Union address to considerable praise from journalists and voters alike. The GOP response was delivered by Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama, and it kinda did the exact opposite. Not only was it widely panned across the political spectrum—Republican politicos called it a “disaster”—but it was revealed the next day by reporter Jonathan M. Katz that Sen. Britt had blatantly lied about a key anecdote involving the horrific trauma experienced by a migrant woman. Pretty nasty business. Fortunately, Saturday Night Live tapped Scarlett Johansson for a hilarious cold open parody of Sen. Britt's response. It may not be close to the consequences the Senator deserves for her exploitative and cruel nonsense, but it'll make you laugh. 5. Ryan Gosling Steals the Show at Last Night's OscarsThis year's edition of the Academy Awards was pretty damn good. From host Jimmy Kimmel nailing Trump with a particularly biting zinger to Billie Eilish delivering an exquisite live performance of “What Was I Made For?” to John Cena appearing in nothing but Birkenstocks and a placard onstage, there was fun for everyone. But it was Ryan Gosling's phenomenal performance of “I'm Just Ken” that broke the internet, proving that, once again, there is seemingly nothing Ryan Gosling can't do that won't make you root for him.

They Went Left by Monica HesseZofia is struggling at the end of World War II. She has spent years in concentration camps and that time has left her both physically and mentally fragile. One thing has kept her going all these years. To find the one person she believes will help her move on with her life, even when everything else has been destroyed. Recommended for mature 8th graders and up. 

The jury had been brought in for a murder trial. It was a homicide with no body, a case that had been first classified as a missing person instead of a death. There had been no confession. No blood. No weapon. No witnesses. The alleged murder had gone unsolved for more than a decade, and onlookers had wondered, not unreasonably, whether it was simply unsolvable.The question at hand was whether, 13 years ago, a man named Isaac Moye had murdered a woman named Unique Harris. The trial was an attempt to bring an ending, at last, to a mystery that had tortured her family and baffled strangers, including Washington Post reporter Monica Hesse, who had followed the case from the very beginning. By the end of the trial, Monica realized she'd understood the whole case wrong.–This story is part of a new collection of occasional bonus episodes you'll be hearing from “Post Reports.” We're calling these stories “Deep Reads,” and they're part of The Post's commitment to immersive and narrative journalism.Today's story was written by Monica Hesse and read by Adrienne Walker for Noa: News Over Audio, an app offering curated audio articles.

On November 12th, 2012, the Accomack County volunteer fire departments got a call. An abandoned house had suddenly gone up in flames. And then, just hours later, a second fire was reported. Then a third. Over the next few months, there would be a lot more fires—nearly 90 in all. It was all anyone could talk about in Accomack. Someone was burning down the entire county.

A note from Charlotte: May I just apologize for the lack of content we have put out so far. You might have heard that we filmed this at the end of February, but I haven't had time recently to edit the podcast and I thank you for your patience with us as we are just starting out and have problems with audio and saying the word "like" too much. The link for our Goodreads page is below. Feel free to send us a message or recommend a book that you would like for us to review. Thanks for all the support! Our Goodreads page: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/131634957-all-day-ya The books we mentioned in this podcast are To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse (which we will be reviewing soon), Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, Admission by Julie Buxbaum, Talking as Fast as I Can: Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between) by Lauren Graham, The Sun is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon, American Street by Ibi Zoboi, and The Distance Between Us by Kasie West.

Hello friends, It's Friday so we're back in your ears again with some juicy topics. Apologies for keeping you waiting, but trust us when we say this episode is well worth it. Ailish discusses how a 23-year-old who couldn't survive off her salary as a medical worker created an OnlyFans account to get by and the conversation a New York Post article, which exposed her, has created. Why is the focus on shaming her for sex work instead of the fact that a medical professional has to work three jobs to get by? This Rolling Stones article by EJ Dickson summarises our thoughts well. Bella deep dives into Joseph Epstein's Washington Post opinion piece regarding Jill Biden dropping the honorific. It's a mess - let's unpack it. She references this delightful clapback by Monica Hesse. Wash away the first read with this one. And Nicolette ends the conversation with a chat regarding influencer businesses. Do they need to bring something more to the table than just another fashion label with minimal sizing, representation and originality? We think yes. Plus we recommend a wellness product, an app to try and a Netflix show to binge. Thanks for listening! We won't be together to record over the Christmas break, so we'll be back in your ears again next year (ah, scary). Connect with the podcast on Instagram and follow us on TikTok. You can find Bella, Nicolette and Ailish on Instagram too.

In the first episode of Let's Get Lit, ACLS staff recommend spooky titles just in time for Halloween!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 25, 2020 is: noblesse oblige • noh-BLESS-uh-BLEEZH • noun : the obligation of honorable, generous, and responsible behavior associated with high rank or birth Examples: "Like many independent schools, Shipley cultivates a sense of noblesse oblige among its students—the notion that part of being educated in a privileged environment requires scholars to give back." — Alfred Lubrano, The Philadelphia Inquirer, 20 May 2020 "And, unlike the goal of simply becoming fabulously wealthy—which one could also accomplish by winning the lottery or marrying a nonroyal oil magnate—princesshood came with a sense of noblesse oblige. You would be doing it to inspire people. You would be your own act of charity." — Monica Hesse, The Washington Post, 10 Jan. 2020 Did you know? In French, noblesse oblige means literally "nobility obligates." French speakers transformed the phrase into a noun, which English speakers picked up in the 19th century. Then, as now, noblesse oblige referred to the unwritten obligation of people from a noble ancestry to act honorably and generously to others. Later, by extension, it also came to refer to the obligation of anyone who is in a better position than others—due, for example, to high office or celebrity—to act respectably and responsibly.

Germany, 1945. The soldiers who liberated the Gross-Rosen concentration camp said the war was over, but nothing feels over to eighteen-year-old Zofia Lederman. Her body has barely begun to heal; her mind feels broken. And her life is completely shattered: Three years ago, she and her younger brother, Abek, were the only members of their family to be sent to the right, away from the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Everyone else–her parents, her grandmother, radiant Aunt Maja–they went left. Zofia’s last words to her brother were a promise: Abek to Zofia, A to Z. When I find you again, we will fill our alphabet. Now her journey to fulfill that vow takes her through Poland and Germany, and into a displaced persons camp where everyone she meets is trying to piece together a future from a painful past: Miriam, desperately searching for the twin she was separated from after they survived medical experimentation. Breine, a former heiress, who now longs only for a simple wedding with her new fiancé. And Josef, who guards his past behind a wall of secrets, and is beautiful and strange and magnetic all at once. But the deeper Zofia digs, the more impossible her search seems. How can she find one boy in a sea of the missing? In the rubble of a broken continent, Zofia must delve into a mystery whose answers could break her–or help her rebuild her world.

Feedback Lab Girl by Hope Jahren (rec’d by Miranda) American Fire by Monica Hesse (rec’d by Miranda) Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube by Blair Braverman (rec’d by Miranda) Questions 1. Hey guys! So in a few weeks I’m getting married (yay!!!) and then honeymooning in Mexico. I’m looking for some good recommendations to read while at the beach. I’m a therapist and work mostly with adolescents so I’m always looking for novels with adolescent protagonists to better understand my clients. I would love to hear your recommendations for YA fiction. Bonus points for a book series and for having a romance subplot. Some YA books I’ve liked in the past are Little Fires Everywhere, Hunger Games series and the Selection. I’ve already read To All The Boys I’ve Loved before and don’t love the writing style (but loved the movie). Please no John Green. Thanks so much! –Emily 2. My husband’s birthday is in August and I’d love to get him a book this year. He’s not as big a reader as I am, but he enjoys it when the right book grabs him. Ready Player One and The Martian were two books that immediately struck me when I read them as being tailor-made for him, and he loved them both (back before either of them were movies). I next tried 11/22/63, because I thought he’d appreciate the interesting take on time travel. It took him over a year to finally get through because it just didn’t have that same gotta-read-it-NOW energy (though he assures me that he did enjoy it). I haven’t gifted him a book in a few years, since I haven’t found anything else that screamed “he needs to read this.” My own reading has slowed down quite a bit since we had kids, so the chances of my stumbling across his next RPO/Martian are slimmer than ever, and I’m hoping you can help me. In addition to the ones I mentioned, some of his favorite books are LOTR, the Eragon series, the Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow series, White Fang, and Call of the Wild. Thanks, love the show! –Charlie 3. Hi Jenn and Amanda! Long time listener to the podcast here. I love your show, though it has roughly doubled my TBR, so thanks for that. Lol My family is taking an epic Western road trip for two and a half weeks in July, driving from Ohio to Montana and Wyoming to visit Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, as well as some smaller parks and sites along the way. I would love a recommendation for an audiobook that we could listen to together to keep kids off of personal technology for at least some of the trip. We haven’t really listened to audiobooks as a family before, and I’m running into some challenges in trying to choose. I am easy—read everything and anything. My husband typically prefers non-fiction, but could be flexible. My son is almost 13 and likes Science and history, both fiction and nonfiction. He does NOT enjoy most fantasy. My daughter is 9 and prefers fiction. She has a VERY active imagination and is easily scared by creepy things—for example, Harry Potter is too scary. Can you please help us find something fun to listen to that will get us all on the same page, so to speak, as we spend many hours together in the car? I’m not having success finding something that scratched everyone’s particular itch, but is still engaging and fun to listen to. –Erica 4. Hi Ladies! I love the podcast and am hoping you can help me out. I have two kids, an 8 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. When they were little, I used to read to them every night before bed but as they got older we stopped and I missed it. Recently I convinced them to start reading together again and for our first book I picked Refugee by Alan Gratz which has been good but intense and sad. Could you give us some suggestions for our next book? We’d like something more light hearted and fun. They’ve both read the Harry Potter books through book 5 and my son has read all the Land of Stories books. My daughter suggested Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan or Mr. Limoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein but she’s already read both of those and I’d like to read something new to all of us. Thanks for your help! —Heather 5. Over the last year I have slowly succeeded in turning my husband into a reader, now he wants to read books together. Last month we read Where The Crawdads Sing, it was his pick. It was a great experience, but now we are stuck trying to find a second book. He has suggested Educated or A Serial Killer’s Daughter, however, I am in my last semester of law school and already spend all day reading about tragedy and humans being horrible to other humans, I just cannot handle the tough stuff at the moment. I’ve tried to suggest a Bill Bryson book (he loved the adaptation of A Walk in the Woods) or some food micro histories (he is a major foodie) but he has turned them all down. His taste in books seems to be evolving rapidly and I am out of ideas. I’ll read anything that isn’t particularly emotionally taxing (Crawdads was in the grey area). Thanks for any help you can provide! In the last year he has read: Stephen King, Michael Crichton, The Martian, Ready Player One, World War Z, the Game of Thrones series, and a David Attenborough memoir. –Michelle 6. Hello! I adore books where the language usage or the writing format is as important to the story as the story itself. Books I’ve loved are The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth (where the author writes in his version of Middle English), Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn (where the story is told through letters by people who aren’t allowed to use certain letters of the alphabet), and Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov (where the novel is about a poem but the actual story is told primarily through the footnotes of the poem analysis). I’ll read any genre or subject matter, but please don’t recommend S. by JJ Abrams because that’s already on my shortlist TBR, or Finnegan’s Wake because I don’t know if I’ll ever be ready to attempt it.

This week's episode looks at the harm both men and women suffer from traditional definitions of masculinity - that is, the "man box" - and the ways both men and women would benefit from redefining masculinity. Times have changed, can our collective expectations of masculinity change as well? It's not clear that seismic change will happen any time soon, but younger generations are providing hope for incremental change, that eventually will provide men with access to a fuller version of masculinity.

On today's Faith podcast, we talk about John 13: 14-17 and about humility, especially in a world of heightened masculinity. Monica Hesse of the Washington Post wrote two interesting articles on the toxicity of masculinity: (https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/how-traditional-masculinity-hurts-the-men-who-believe-in-it-most/2019/01/12/22d2518a-14fd-11e9-90a8-136fa44b80ba_story.html?utm_term=.933b5e56e3e0) and a follow up article, immediately after a controversial Gillette commercial: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/how-should-conversations-about-toxic-masculinity-deal-with-the-toxic-women-who-also-perpetuate-it/2019/01/18/ef4fa976-1a69-11e9-8813-cb9dec761e73_story.html?utm_term=.3274818353d6 I believe that overt masculinity is absent of humility, and Jesus demands we have humility in our lives, if we are to live as true Christians and help mankind. We address three ways of amplifying our humility instead of masculinity: put yourself in the other persons' shoes; say “I'm sorry” when you're wrong; and to serve. We close the podcast on Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech on the Drum Major, where he implores his congregation to not be a drum major for your own selfish reasons, but to be a drum major for justice and truth. The humility and strength of Dr. King is something we can all look up to, especially us men.

Trish and Jess check in about books they got for Christmas, how their respective apartments are filling with books despite best efforts, and Jess's last ditch attempt to read a book a day for the rest of the year to reach her yearly goal. They then discuss Girl in Blue Coat by Monica Hesse, which made its way into the 30% of books Trish likes despite being a little unbelievable. They compare it to Girl in the Red Coat by Kate Hamer which loaded Jess with tension as she worried that mother and daughter characters would not be reunited. Trish and Jess end with Top 5 Most satisfying or uplifting dogs in literature as recommended by Jess's mom. Next month, special guest Leah with A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman.

Before Trish and Jess review "Endless Night" by Agatha Christie, they commiserate on their apartments filling up with books despite their best intentions and check in about their reading goals for the year. Trish has already read more books than weeks in the year, and Jess makes plans to power through detective novels to make her quota. While reviewing "Endless Night" they discuss their surprise over its structure, push back on extended recuperation periods for sprained ankles, and discuss the inaccurate cover on Jess's book from the 70s. They finish with Top 5 list of men from literature who got in over their heads. Next month they will compare and contrast "The Girl in Red Coat" by Kate Hamer and "Girl in a Blue Coat" by Monica Hesse, with Jess reading the former and Trish the latter. Happy reading till then!  (Music credit: “Books” by Minden http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/)
