BEING Trans

Zosia Mamet is an obsessive person. So, naturally, she made a podcast about it.

On her brand new podcast from Lemonada Media, OMG Obsessed, Zosia sits down with some of her favorite people to get to the bottom of the things they simply cannot shut up about. The comfort show they’ve watched 43 times. The skincare routine with approximately 11,000 steps. The niche internet rabbit hole they entered at 2 a.m. and never truly escaped.

And Zosia brings plenty of obsessions of her own including a horse named Steven, interspecies friendship, her Peloton instructor’s divorce arc, tiny tomatoes that pop in your mouth, and the deeply compelling theory that geese are drones. She contains multitudes. And tabs.

Every episode comes loaded with recommendations for what to watch, read, buy, try, and immediately become weirdly passionate about.

Because no obsession is dumb. Concerning? Sure. Weird? Obviously. But dumb? Never.

In this episode of Lovers, therapist Kier Gaines shares a personal and professional reflection on how resentment builds when men are taught to silence their emotional truth.

Kier opens up about a pivotal moment in his own relationship, when he realized that his partner’s tone was hurting his feelings, and that his fear of naming it, out of concern that he would sound “effeminate” or not man enough, was quietly turning into resentment. What started as self-protection slowly became emotional distance, until he reached a breaking point where honesty felt less risky than staying silent.

Together, we unpack how masculinity norms shape emotional expression, why unspoken hurt often masquerades as resentment, and how learning to articulate emotional impact can transform intimacy rather than threaten it. This conversation explores the cost of swallowing feelings, the courage it takes to speak before resentment hardens, and what becomes possible when men allow themselves to be emotionally legible in their relationships.

This episode isn’t about blame or tone-policing. It’s about emotional responsibility, relational repair, and the freedom that comes from finally saying the thing you were afraid would make you sound weak.

Are you living your best life now? Not always? This is a podcast for you. Duke Professor Kate Bowler is an expert in the stories we tell about success and failure, suffering and happiness. She had Stage IV cancer. Then she didn’t. And since then, all she wants to do is talk to funny and wise people about how to live with the knowledge that, well, everything happens.

The pandemic introduced many to living with uncertainty. But for some, uncertainty has always been their norm. In this episode, Kate speak to actress Nikki Deloach, who has starred in several Hallmark Christmas movies, but her life hasn’t matched the happily-ever-after plot-lines of her characters. Nikki’s dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of dementia and her son was diagnosed with congenital heart defects in utero… all in the same week. In this conversation, Kate and Nikki discuss how to live with constant uncertainty, how to stay open to both the terror and the beauty of living close to the edge, and how to make Christmas meaningful when hope is hard to come by. 

CW: suicidal ideation, postpartum depression, a parent grappling with a child’s fragile diagnosis, dementia
