It's nice to meet you.
Hi, it's nice to meet you too.
Before we start, and I say this to everybody, if at any point you feel like you want to restate something you don't love the way you said it, that's the joy of the podcast.
Please feel free to just take it again.
We want you to feel like you're sounding your best.
I'm going to say the most outrageous shit and then be like, leave it in.
Perfect.
Wow.
Love to hear it.
No one has ever taken that as a challenge before.
This is In Conversation from Apple News.
I'm Shemitah Basu TODAY essayist Samantha Irby on how to like what you like and not really care what others think.
I read a lot for work, mostly news, some books, lots of heavy topics.
You know, politics, state of the world stuff.
But recently I picked up a book of essays that made me laugh out loud so hard I had tears streaming down my face.
And I realized it's been so long since I nourished myself with a book that was purely fun.
The book is called Quietly Hostile.
It's a new collection of essays by humor writer Samantha Irby.
Really just a bunch of observations and musings from her everyday life, which might look a lot like yours, except somehow way funnier the way she tells it.
