We return for 2022 with a new intro (composed by the excellent GOLDpny, artist page here:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/1BIfoNbVBu02WED6cjVj8m), and plenty of thoughts on the recently departed Joan Didion.

What better way to memorialise Didion than to read The White Album, her paean?/exorcism?/dirge? to the Sixties?

CRUCIAL questions are answered, such as: why do so many Didion fans wear turtlenecks? Why do feminists think everything is rape? And why are shopping malls so great?

We also discuss Didion's status as a chic writer (while wearing our daggiest clothes), inspired by this article: https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/55411/1/the-death-of-the-chic-writer?amp=1&fbclid=IwAR1pDhyk5gq7fS22dOGipQemUP59aedT_eLADQ6oVCPZDC7i7JmgQuHLGiY
