DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
from Says Who? · host Maureen Johnson and Dan Sinker
It's an end of summer Says Who, and Dan and Maureen are coasting it out before the fall comes and we all go back to school. We talk about swimming pools! Doughnuts! DisneyWorld! Nazis! Oh yeah. Nazis. How the hell did we all end up talking about Nazis--is something we all ended up asking ourselves. And the Confederacy. Things we thought, you know, we'd worked out. Maureen explains how she threw herself down a Facebook hole into a bad conversation, because the weird, the bad, the difficult...these things can't be avoided. There's no looking away and pretending politeness. This Says Who is about things that are hard to say--from tough topics to the word "lingerie." Also, we get an official Says Who doughnut. And then we tell you the future. Come on in for one last summer swim in the Says Who pool! Winter is coming. SHOW NOTES: The Facebook meme that broke Maureen. Was the Civil War about slavery? Yes. Was the Civil War about slavery? Yes, again. But obviously you can just read and learn about the Civil War just about anywhere. How to argue on Facebook Meet the new official doughnut of Says Who.
