-
Ep 60: A Conversation With Lena Dunham
This week's episode of Monocycle is more like an episode of Bicycle because there are two stakeholders (wheels?) present in the conversation: myself and Lena Dunham. When I set out to interview her, I had a fairly strong sense of what we might talk about, like the evolution of Lenny Letter, life...
-
Ep 58: Finding Your Purpose
Welcome back to Fridays with Monocycle. Today's episode is about purpose. I've talked about purpose before, but this time it's different. This time it's about how to identify it, why it's important, how you know when you've lost it and how to nurture it when it's back. I tried something different...
-
Ep 56: Back With a Vengeance
Helloooooooooo ladies and gentlemen of the jury! How are you doing? How has your week been? Your month? Your quarter? Your whole damn year?

-
Ep 50: Be Delicate with Yourself
Holy candied nut! Can you believe we've approached the 50th episode of Monocycle? Some of them have been so stupid! Others have been regurgitations of articles that have gone up on Man Repeller (this was a test, which according to the last episode, is falling flat -- point noted!), but the...
-
Ep 47: The Pursuit of More Than Cool
You might remember a dramatic meditation that I wrote, which essentially made the case to abandon the pursuit of becoming cool in exchange for simply accepting who I am. I read it back to myself after it went live and felt like it came off somewhat kumbaya. Originally, I wanted to write the story...
-
Ep 46: Change
This week's episode of Monocycle is a real doozy. It's the first time in a long time that I stuck my head into that sound booth without a clear idea of what I would say once I was in there. Then words started pouring out, words I can't even recall having uttered. Did I listen to this episode...
-
Ep 45: Resolutions
Hi ppl! We're back together. Again. And because tomorrow is the last day of this year (am I alone in asserting that even though we're all here and alive as evidenced by my writing this and your reading this and therefore truly in no position to complain, some drastic element of the year fucking...
-
Ep 43: Love Your Mom
We're heading into Thanksgiving!!!! Kind of, at the end of next week, and I've never needed some fucking time off more. But I'm also getting kind of anxious about the family time that awaits -- not because I don't love spending time with my family, those people are my people, but because lately…
more -
Ep 44: Hi Again
Hi ppl. I'm either sorry or really happy to acknowledge the lack of consistency with Monocycle lately (the apology or gratuity depends on entirely on how you feel about this podcast), but given the events of the past several weeks and the singular event that preceded the past several weeks, I…

Ep 42: Consumption
In this week's episode of Monocycle, Malcolm Gladwell tackles the notion of consumption in 2016 -- how we eat, how we engage with our Internet tendencies and whether or not, in spite of statistics that suggest millennials are acquiring less, we are addicted to material gain. I'm just kidding,...

-
Ep 38: Cultural Appropriation
Not to beat a horse that has been killed multiple times already but in this week's episode of Monocycle, we reopen the conversation around the dreadlocks at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2017 runway show. It's not to throw more shade, or say anything that hasn't already been said, but rather, to talk...
-
Ep 36: Back to School
Sometimes I feel like my brain is a variety show and your cable network is out of whack, which is to say that you only catch slivers of each section. The fact of the matter is, I'm only delivering slivers of each section, so I'm sorry I just blamed your network. Self-deprecation aside, this…

Ep 31: Let Loose, Dispatch 3

-
Ep 26: Not Pregnant
This week's episode of Monocycle is about sharing what one is going through while going through it as opposed to the aftermath, after, as Leandra said, "the experience has been put in a box and wrapped in fancy words and called a first person essay," because this is real life, right? Between the...
-
Ep 25: Does a Good Week Ruin Our Weekend?
In this week's episode of Monocycle, I get way too deep into my own head and contemplate the question, how important is the line that demarcates work from our social lives? I think I've always felt like this, but lately I have noticed how blurred the lines between work and private life have…

Ep 24: Addicted to the Comfort Zone
In this week's episode of Monocycle, Leandra talks about her addiction to the comfort zone -- that area that prohibits us from tackling the hard or uncomfortable tasks in our day.

-
Ep 22: Getting Dressed for the *Weekend*
This week’s episode of Monocycle is practically like having an audio stylist who may or may not be a serial killer given the information she feeds you and the way in which she suggests you should dress. Of course, you won't be killed, but rather walked through the way in which you choose to…

After taking a week off, today's episode of Monocycle kicks off a case study called: Do You Care?

Let us know what...
-
Ep 19: Hormones
The hormones are back. On this week's episode of Monocycle, Leandra confronts her narcissism, yells at herself and tries to turn negatives into positives. All anecdotes are shared with the intention that you'll be able to connect with them, of course, because at the end of the day, aren't we all...
-
Ep 18: Productivity
This week's episode of Monocycle is about productivity. Leandra procrastinated for two hours until she finally recorded this episode, so lucky for listeners it also features the most efficient human on earth: Leandra's husband, Abie Cohen. We'd reveal his advice here, but then you wouldn't listen...
-
Ep 17: Saturday State of Mind
In this week’s episode of Monocycle, Leandra talks about the "Saturday State of Mind." Could there be a way to turn the excited feeling of an imminent Saturday into a state of mind as opposed to mere fact of existence? And if there is, would Sunday Scaries become Sunday Sillies? Oh what a way to...

Ep 15: Excess
Welcome back to Monocycle. This week's episode tackles precisely the reason we didn't post last week: Paris. As in, fashion week. But beyond that and beyond the clothes, we explore the feeling of being...gluttonous. The condition of living in 2016 means that we have so many choices and are...
-
Ep 14: Getting Dressed
In honor of fashion week, an episode of Monocycle on how to get dressed! Or the psychology of it, at least. When you are in a clothing funk, the only way out beyond attempting “manifestation” practices (if you think it, if you will it, it will happen) is to remember when you last felt like the…

Ep 11: Fake It 'Til You Make It
This week's episode of Monocycle reflects on last week's show (hint: there were a few tears) then opens up the dance floor for a conversation about faking it until you make it.
