We recorded this interview at the end of January, before Daniel Mallory Ortberg had publicly come out. Some of the pronouns in this episode may be incorrect. We've since talked to him, offered congratulations and made sure he's still ok with us publishing this interview. We are so happy that he was so generous with their time to be our guest for this episode.

We interviewed Daniel Mallory Ortberg to talk about his new book, "The Merry Spinster." We also discussed American Vandal, gender identity, and why everyone thinks they are the reasonable person.
