Where We Talk About Cat Person

In this podcast we discuss the short story ‘Cat Person’ by Kristen Roupenian which appeared in The New Yorker last week and has been shared all over social media, partly due to its resonances with the recent #metoo campaign. We’d recommend reading the story - or listening to the audio - before listening to the podcast. But we’d also like to give content notes (for both the story and for our discussion) that there are themes of non-consensual sex, fear of sexual violence, gender shaming and stereotypes, fatphobia, and whorephobia. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/11/cat-person http://megjohnandjustin.com/cat-person
