These days, following the news can be utterly demoralizing. How do
we deal? Guest host Anna Sale talks to Amanda Ripley, journalist
and anchor of the Slate podcast How To!, about strategies for
staying informed without stressing out (too much).

Then, Anna chats with author, educator and producer Tananarive Due
about the history of the Black horror genre ahead of the release of
Jordan Peele's Nope. They talk about how horror can be a way to
process trauma, how marginalized creators can — but don't always —
reclaim old movie tropes and where Black horror is today.

Finally, Anna plays Who Said That with It's Been a Minute guest
hosts pf the past, present and future: Julia Furlan, executive
producer of the podcast Death, Sex & Money, and WNYC's Tracie
Hunte.

Is the problem me — or the product?"
