I'm not sure you made me feel less crazy, but you made me feel less alone in my craziness. Thanks for all the unhinged conversations.

Dear Sarah and Meghan, I have enjoyed A Special Place in Hell so much! This is such sad news. A Special Place was one of the four or five podcasts I listened to regularly. You have certainly made my weeks more interesting and thought-provoking over the last two years.

All the best to you both. I wish you continued success, happiness, and all the spiritual and intellectual fulfillment you could hope for.

And engagement, don’t forget engagement!

I realized Meghan did not like my comment (intended to be light) when I got an alert that Sarah liked it. You can grow up to be middle-aged and still get a little wounded by this sort of thing. Why do I care? What is my fear? That I am too average to belong in these sort of spaces? Probably. That someone I have followed for entertainment and brainfood doesn't like my comment? And by revealing this sort of thing, you're considered unhinged.

Shouldn’t you try and stay together for your children 😭? I will miss this podcast so much. Your chemistry was unmatched.

The hypocrisy of them to divorce!! Split holidays for us on their separate projects?! The damage this will cause my fragile mind when the age gap hell mommies separate 😭

VERY DISAPPOINTING! I need Sarah on a podcast on the regular :(

Aww, this is so sad! You are one of my favorite podcasts. It reminds me of when the Femsplainers stopped their podcast. Your podcast started right around when that happened. Good luck to both of you! 💙

No no no! Oh my god, no. This is horrible news. No no no. Whaaaaat. No! I am not okay with this.

But…I need my Meghan and Sarah fix. How are we going to get our Meghan and Sarah fix?!

Who is Penelope going to talk to? Who’s cool enough and smart enough to talk with her and understand her autistic woman tendencies and theories with all your intellect, wit, and good humor? What women are cooler and more interesting than you together? Answer—No one! ☹️

I was literally in the middle of hearing a good podcast conversation with Sarah and Ayaan Hirsi Ali and thinking — ohh this would be a good convo with Meghan and Sarah, too.

Oh god—Sarah, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Meghan, and Sam Harris would be good, too. Oh, with Penelope thrown in.

Noooooo where will our safe spaces for thought go nooooo why is this happening?

Lame. I really liked this podcast. You both have unique voices that are not common enough in our society.

Nooooo! :( This was the podcast I looked forward to most every week. I am exactly in the middle of you two age-wise and found the dynamic so fascinating. I'll miss you girlx! Thanks for the good conversation, and best of luck with whatever's next.

We'll at least hear about Sarah's ayahuasca experience, I hope?

Expand full comment

Fuck, that experience is probably why it's ending! Not even joking :(

That would surprise me, but what do I know?

@razib Razib!? DO SOMETHING!

I didn’t expect this but somehow I’m not surprised. I am also doing a kind of realignment in the post Nov 5 era-I just feel like it’s time for me to do new things and talk about new things. I will be a fan of both of you in all your various platforms until the cows come home.
