The Cult Of Amanda Montell

Hi Milkers!

It’s Pride Month, and what better way to kick it off than with New York Times–bestselling bisexual author and podcaster Amanda Montell? Author of Cultish, Wordslut, and The Age of Magical Overthinking—one of the many questions she poses is: Why, despite living in the information age, does life only seem to make less sense?

We cover the psychology behind fandom, social media, cults, cognitive biases, crushes (or in Ian’s case, Gods) that live rent-free in your head, why Captain Hook might be the ultimate gay icon, and how overthinking is BOTH a glitch and a feature.

This one’s for the girls, the gays, and the theys who Google their feelings.
