An episode from 2/21/22: Most people will tell you that jealousy is a destructive mindset to get lost in, but tonight I wonder under what circumstances it’s justified. Starting from a simple observation—that Joan Didion’s memoir about the death of her husband would have probably gone unpublished or unnoticed without her name on the cover—I ask how many stories we aren’t hearing and will never hear, because their authors aren’t famous already?

You can also go back to the beginning of this podcast and listen to Jealousy Part 1.
