Welcome to our brand new Monday episodes!

Coming up on today’s show: Are you cool enough for the new Sally Rooney novel? Are we cool enough for it? Is anyone? Advance copies of Sally Rooney’s new novel Intermezzo have become a surprise status symbol, and we want to know - what would Sally, someone who famously eschews fame, think about it all?

And then: the column that made us think and feel a lot about womanhood, and writing, and mining your personal life for content.
