A Special Place in Hell

This week on A Special Place In Hell, mega-successful cam girl turned data analyst Aella shares sex tips and business advice. From her hyper-repressed upbringing as a homeschooled Christian conservative to her hyper-successful career as a sex worker/public intellectual, self-taught data scientist, she does it all!

What does sex work teach you about the male psyche? Are artificial wombs the key to true gender equality? Should Sarah and Meghan open an OnlyFans, or have they missed the boat?

The answers are all here.

This week (actually it was a few weeks ago), the girls/women find themselves in NYC! In the bustling, dystopia-adjacent metropolis, Meghan reclaims OWNS the streets of her youth/recent middle age while Sarah is disoriented by the assault on her tender suburban senses and feels as if she is suffocating on the miasma of mold and garbage juice.

And guess what? This was the first time Sarah and Meghan ever met person! Sarah still cannot believe Meghan is merely average in height. Meghan cannot believe Sarah doesn’t have a baby permanently attached to her hip. In any case, they must look at each other without the buffering effect of camera filters, which is an act of radical courage. Despite their disappointment, they embark on Season 2 with clear eyes, full hearts,

That means recording an in-studio conversation with race discourse’s Enfant Terrible, Coleman Hughes. All parties thought they were going to be the host for this recording, but Meghan’s interrupting interviewing chops won out and Coleman divulged all sorts of personal things, including his musical background, his experiences dating social justice-y women and, moreover, his heterodox “origin story.” (Like all superheroes, he has one.)

We’re still here! Thanks for your patience as we get things in place for the new season.

In this episode, our last audio-only episode before we sell give away our souls to YouTube, problematic geneticist Razib Khan joins the ladies to talk about all the stuff you’re not supposed to talk about when it comes to human DNA. Topics include Hindu nationalism, Arab social control, and how tall Sarah’s husband needs to be if any of her boys have a prayer of not being undateable manlets. Even though Meghan is taller than Sarah, much of the discussion goes over her head. This is underscored by one particularly embarrassing moment, which Meghan, because she’s Authentic AF, did not insist on editing out. #YoureWelcome.

In the BONUS content for paying subscribers only: We backbite about Razib.

Note: This episode was recorded awhile ago. More recently, Sarah was on Razib’s podcast talking about the “intellectual brown web” (whaaat??) which you can hear here but only after you listen to this one.

This episode includes the bonus content normally only for paying subscribers: You are all welcome. The girls/women take on so many meaty topics that they might as well be glowing from Jordan Peterson’s carnivore diet. After a quick plug for Meghan’s new (and soon-to-be-HUGE) Substack feature Dreams of Heterodox Podcasters, they begin with a discussion of Sarah’s recent Substack post about “how hate crime hoaxes are good.” (Never blame writers for headlines. Except on Substack.) They move on to a recent New York Times article about Meghan’s favorite non-cancel culture topic: real estate.

Data shows that single women outnumber single men in the home buying market. Is that because of factors like getting divorced and getting the house? Or is it because single men are all incel slugs living in their parents’ basement? They then discuss the apparently huge number of women who wanted to have children but now probably never will and whether or not this is because Society Has Lied To Them. Meghan points out that people are delaying starting families because of the cost of home ownership and inaccessibility of middle class life. Sarah denies it all, and blames the victims.

In what would ordinarily have been the bonus content, the hostesses get uncharacteristically dark and debate whether life is really worth living at all and discuss the concepts of pro-natalism and anti-natalism. Finally, they discuss the so-called “Fleishman Effect,” recently coined in an article in New York Magazine’s The Cut, and respond to listener comments, including comments about Sarah having the “certainty gene.”

The New York Times has been tiptoeing up to the gender youth story. Does that mean the subject will soon be safe to talk about in polite company? The ladies discuss a recent Times article about the effects of school policies that compel teachers to hide kids’ new gender identities from parents. In the interests of balance, they also talk about an article in The Federalist (which Sarah reads religiously despite being an atheist) bout how government overreach and agenda-driven advocacy caused a troubled teenage girl to be removed from her home and placed in child protective custody, where she was eventually sex trafficked and violently assaulted. Mercifully, Meghan eventually lightens the mood by describing a recent conversation with her doctor, who appears to be woefully misinformed about certain things despite being a doctor and therefore super smart. (Meghan also wrote about this on her Substack this week.)

Speaking of doctors: In the bonus content available to paying subscribers only, the girls/women discuss an advice column letter from a neurosurgeon in her late 30s who wants to find a husband and start a family now. Did she get the right advice? It doesn’t matter, since Sarah is here to give her the final word. (Sarah also thinks Meghan reads The New York Times too much and needs to #DoBetter.) They also respond to reader comments about their last episode, which seems like a long time ago because it was. They will #DoBetter!
