My guest today is the writer and comedian Bridget Phetasy, author of the 'Beyond Parody' Substack, columnist at the Spectator World, and host of the 'Walk ins Welcome' podcast and 'Dumpster Fire' YouTube show.

We spoke about Bridget's recent viral essay for the Spectator titled 'How divorce never ends', about the long term effects of divorce on adult children. In the extended part of the episode we also spoke about another viral essay of Bridget's, 'I regret being a sl*t', and the positive and negative responses that received.
