A Special Place in Hell

The Supreme Court has weighed in: Affirmative Action is out. It’s too late for Sarah to claim her rightful place in the ivy league but maybe another future tradwife can be saved from the humiliation of a state school education. (We kid, of course! We don’t believe in the value of college. Or, for that matter, any education!) Still, we have many highly educated opinions.   Next up: Are young homely...

This week: Why New York (continues) to suck, why we still don’t trust the news, and what might be turning our young singles into raving SJWs / far-right nationalists.  Plus, Sarah’s theory blaming (who else?) #AllWomen for the corrosion of our institutions, at which point Meghan breaks character and defend female honor. Will women put a stop to this madness? If they do, what will Meghan and Sarah...

On this episode, the girls/women respond to listener comments on the last episode about AGP, and in the process, gain some empathy for the harmless cross-dresser-next-door. Then they dive into the wacky world of internal monologues. Are you crazy if you have one? Are you stupid if you don’t? (Yes, and yes). In the bonus for SUBSCRIBERS ONLY, Sarah targets another profession for baseless accusation...

This week, the girls take their DGAF-ery to the next level and talk about the elephant in the gender room: AGP. Culture critic Andrea Long Chu, who has described autogynephilia in graphic detail (while wisely avoiding the term itself), won a Pulitzer Prize. Does this mean we’re finally allowed recognize the existence of something that gender activists say definitely doesn’t exist? Meanwhile, Sarah...

This week on A Special Place In Hell, mega-successful cam girl turned data analyst Aella shares sex tips and business advice. From her hyper-repressed upbringing as a homeschooled Christian conservative to her hyper-successful career as a sex worker/public intellectual, self-taught data scientist, she does it all! What does sex work teach you about the male psyche? Are artificial wombs the key to...

Sexy grandma Martha Stewart bravely goes where no self-respecting woman really should: The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Cover. What can we say, other than: “yas Queen, get it”. Next, a social club for the losers of the intellectual discourse--or is getting cancelled kind of sexy now? (We say: yes).

Are the criminally insane suffering from mental marginalization? Or is New York City just terrible? Is it ageist of Sarah to force Meghan to use Trello?

To kick off the new season of A Special Place In Hell, Sarah and Meghan welcome Saira Rao and Regina Jackson, founders of the anti-racism enterprise, Race To Dinner. Is Meghan holding back white woman tears? Is Sarah Nazi-adjacent? Or merely Meghan’s sidekick?

This week (actually it was a few weeks ago), the girls/women find themselves in NYC! In the bustling, dystopia-adjacent metropolis, Meghan reclaims OWNS the streets of her youth/recent middle age while Sarah is disoriented by the assault on her tender suburban senses and feels as if she is suffocating on the miasma of mold and garbage juice. And guess what? This was the first time Sarah and Meghan...

This episode includes the bonus content normally only for paying subscribers: You are all welcome. The girls/women take on so many meaty topics that they might as well be glowing from Jordan Peterson’s carnivore diet. After a quick plug for Meghan’s new (and soon-to-be-HUGE) Substack feature Dreams of Heterodox Podcasters, they begin with a discussion of Sarah’s recent Substack post about “how hat...

The New York Times has been tiptoeing up to the gender youth story. Does that mean the subject will soon be safe to talk about in polite company? The ladies discuss a recent Times article about the effects of school policies that compel teachers to hide kids’ new gender identities from parents. In the interests of balance, they also talk about an article in The Federalist (which Sarah reads religi...

Is Sarah too-light skinned, or not light-skinned enough? What sort of impact will this have on A Special Place’s imminent move to video? Unrelatedly, how does one pronounce the Brothers Karamazov? Or the name of its author, for that matter? Plus, Sarah hears the pronunciation of Solzhenitsyn for the first and it’s like a blind person who can suddenly see. Speaking of great authors, in this episode...

Is Christmas the Master Holiday? Or is it the Joe Rogan of holidays? Have young men OD’d on video games? Are so many words actually that harmful, or is it just Stanford? Plus: More Penelope Trunk backbiting. In this episode, the girls/women discuss their holiday plans, which are very unexciting. Was Sarah a trans-child, or was she just neglected? Has Meghan always hated babies? Should Sarah (who h...

In this episode, Sarah and Meghan welcome business coach, blogger and all-around opinion-ista, Penelope Trunk. Should women get plastic surgery? Are video games the key to a future as a business tycoon? Can women run businesses anyway?? Penelope is a professional career coach, so she tells Sarah and Meghan what they are doing wrong (spoiler: almost everything) and why they will never make it in th...

This week, Meghan and Sarah revisit their conversation from the previous episode about hormonal birth control. Is Sarah an anti-birth control zealot secretly advocating for legislation to ban all contraception? Is Meghan too forgiving of men who hate condoms? They then move onto late breaking Twitter news (now known as “old news”). As they recorded, Matt Taibbi’s bombshell thread about political b...

In this episode of A Special Place in Hell, recorded on Thanksgiving eve, Sarah and Meghan discuss their plans, including why it’s taken Sarah awhile to get the hang of this holiday, especially the cranberry sauce and eating at 2pm part. (You can read Meghan’s take on Thanksgiving in her latest Substack essay .) After touching on a few breaking news stories that everyone’s forgotten by now, they t...

This week, superstar podcaster Katie Herzog visits A Special Place In Hell to talk about what it’s like to dwell in that sordid sphincter of public discourse known as Twitter. Her podcast, Blocked and Reported, which she co-hosts with Jesse Signal, may live in indentured servitude to some of the the worst the Internet has to offer, but Katie herself knows how to live off the land — or at least tou...

This week (or was it last week?) the girls/women monitor the midterm election returns as they re -record the episode (#BecauseStandards). Along the way they discuss the latest object of mass cultural derangement: Elon Musk. Is Musk the new Trump? Is Twitter really any different than it was a few weeks ago? It’s difficult to say, but as it happens Meghan spent several days hanging out with Musk sev...

In this edition of the podcast, the girls/women kick off the discussion with reports on their respective special events; Sarah’s Rights and Religions Forum conference in Washington, DC and Meghan’s latest Unspeakeasy retreat in New York. Lamenting their ongoing habit of saying “I’m a liberal, but . . .” before talking about anything that might be construed as right wing, Sarah says the noticed the...

On this episode of A Special Place in Hell, the girls/women tackle it all; marriage, sexism, racism, jock smells. This is despite physical and emotional exhaustion from their very special projects; Sarah’s conference and Meghan’s Unspeakeasy retreat.  Sarah begins by wondering whether “self-hating millennial” is misleading and, god forbid, cringe . Meghan wonders whether all of childhood is cringe...

In this episode of A Special Place in Hell, the girls/women wade through the sorry details of last week’s scandale littéraire involving Hobart, a literary magazine no one had ever heard of until last Wednesday. Meghan is a veteran of the literary world and it turns out it’s her job to educate Sarah about how things work. They discuss the phenomenon of “white Brooklyn ladies of the publishing busin...

In this episode of A Special Place In Hell, the girls/women lose their sh*t over Jon Stewart’s latest virtue signal flare from the ideological bunker in which he appears to be held captive. It’s especially egregious considering a new Reuters story that, for the first time, lays out actual numbers about how many kids are being medicalized for gender dysphoria, including getting invasive surgeries....

This week on A Special Place in Hell, the girls/women spend way too much time on names. Are you a racist for mispronouncing Nimrata Nikki Randhawa? (Yes). Is the aforementioned a white supremacist for changing her name to Nikki Haley? (Yes). Should Meghan become Meghan X Daum? (Definitely). Why did George W. Bush call his wife “Bushie”? (Unclear). The girls/women then move on to a lighter topic: t...
