Episode151: Mightier than the Sword

from The Easy Chair with Laura Hurwitz · host Laura Hurwitz

This week, it’s another clear and honest episode of Mightier Than the Sword, the advice podcast for writers, readers, and people who may just be wondering what me and co-host Steph Spaulding have on our minds. Today, an email from a listener has us talking about censorship. It's a complicated topic. Do we, as female writers, self-censor before even putting our work out there? Is there a double standard for women and men, when it comes to being judged on the creative work we produce? From Samantha Bee to Roseanne Barr, women have said what’s on their minds, but often at great cost. For a serious topic, Steph and I manage to laugh a lot. Still. This is a writerly conversation that affects us all. Any insights, questions, opinions…c’mon, guys, we want to hear from you! Contact us at [email protected]. This week’s episode is brought to you by the best, sleekest, smartest electric toothbrush in the entire universe- Quip. Just head over to getquip.com/easychair and get your first refill pack FREE with a Quip electric toothbrush. Your happy, healthy mouth will thank you!
