Writer and showrunner Sierra Teller Ornelas joins Chelsea for another Viral Article Book Club. This time, they’re diving into that Cut article, “Why Do These Women Inspire Such Rage?” The two friends unpack the article, which talks about why Meghan (Markle) Sussex and Blake Lively fuel so much ragebait. The two of them get into how these women are very different, the politics of likability, Justin Baldoni’s man bun, Gwyneth and her vagina candles, and how Elon and Trump are weak lil worms who couldn’t survive 1/10th of what women suffer on the internet without trying to make teasing them illegal.

4 April 2025, 7:00 am - 1 hour 31 minutesSarah Wynn William’s Memoir Careless People (with Traci Thomas and Becca Platsky)
Chelsea is joined by two returning icons, Traci Thomas (The Stacks) and Becca Platsky (Corporate Gossip), to cover “Careless People,” the explosive memoir by ex-Facebook exec Sarah Wynn-Williams. Weak boy Mark Cuckerburg tried to silence this book with an NDA from Facebook’s lawyers, and so it instantly became a best seller! Buckle up because this book is a Silicon Valley horror show meets a girlboss reckoning. Come for Sheryl Sandberg’s lingerie-inspired “come to bed” stories, stay for Mark Cuckerberg learning to read, and run for your life when you face the Harvard karaoke-loving idiots who are breaking democracy. And somehow… it all circles back to Henry Kissinger.
Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, and genocide. Take care while listening, and find helpful resources here.

28 March 2025, 7:00 am - 1 hour 19 minutesSheryl Sandberg’s Memoir Lean In (with Becca Platsky)
Chelsea and Becca Platsky (host of the Corporate Gossip podcast) put on their office peplum and stinky ballet flats to travel back to 2013 and book club Sheryl Sandberg’s memoir "Lean In." This widely popular book told women to get a seat at the table, only for that table to be run by Mark Zuckerberg in a Benson Boone jumpsuit chugging from a red solo cup. They unpack Lean In's cultural impact and discuss whether or not you can draw a straight line from its publication to the disappearance of the Women's March come 2025. But fear not! Becca and Chelsea dissect, unpack, and make a plan for the future that does not include Sheryl’s dating advice to casually fly men to São Paulo for a vibe check.

Chelsea and Nora McInerny ("Thanks for Asking") dive into The Cut’s advice article, "My Friends Abandoned Me When They Had Kids."
