Episode description

When you think of Lena Dunham, you probably think of her HBO-hit, Girls- and for good reason. She wrote, directed and starred in the series throughout its six seasons, garnering a huge fan base and carving out a definitive space for herself in the world of creative professionals. Since the end of Girls, she’s been directing her energy towards her podcast, Women of the Hour, and her online feminist newsletter, Lenny Letter, which she co-founded with Girls producer Jenni Konner.

In this conversation from 2010, Tania and Lena talk feminism, youth, and Lena's semi-autobiographical breakout film, Tiny Furniture. At 23, Lena wrote, directed, and starred in the story of a recent post-grad who moves back to her mom’s Manhattan apartment as she struggles to find her path in life. 

This interview originally aired on Tania’s radio show, Sight Unseen, on KALX in Berkeley, California, and on Resonance FM in London.

For this episode, we used music from Blue Dot Sessions, a clip from HBO’s “Behind the Scenes” of Girls, a clip from the Tiny Furniture trailer, and a clip from Girls
