Ariel Levy is a staff writer at The New Yorker.\n\n"I like an older awesome lady, I don't think enough is written about older awesome ladies and I don't think there are enough role models for younger awesome ladies. It\u2019s great fun hanging out with an older awesome lady. It\u2019s inspiring. And it makes you think 'Jesus, I might be rocking it when I\u2019m 80!'"\n\nThanks to ProFlowers and TinyLetter for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@avlskies\nLevy on Longform\n[3:00] "My First Time, Twice" (Guernica \u2022 June 2011)\n[7:15] Female Chauvinist Pigs (Free Press \u2022 2006)\n[12:00] "The Perfect Wife" (New Yorker \u2022 Sep 2013)\n[12:30] "Breaking the Waves" (New Yorker \u2022 Feb 2014) [sub req'd]\n[12:45] "Nora Knows What To Do" (New Yorker \u2022 Jul 2009)\n[24:00] "Reservations" (New Yorker \u2022 Dec 2010) [sub req'd]\n[25:00] "I, Mack" (New York \u2022 May 2001)\n[25:00] "The Pretty-Boy Syndrome" (New York \u2022 Oct 2004)\n[27:00] "The Last Gentleman" (New York \u2022 Oct 2007)\n[27:00] "The Prisoner of Sex" (New York \u2022 Jun 2005)\n[30:45] "Enchanted" (New Yorker \u2022 Sep 2008)\n[30:45] "The Lonesome Trail" (New Yorker \u2022 Sep 2008)\n[32:00] "Trial By Twitter" (New Yorker \u2022 Aug 2013)\n[32:00] "Either/"Or" (New Yorker \u2022 Nov 2009)\n[40:45] "Thanksgiving in Mongolia" (New Yorker \u2022 Nov 2013)\n[48:15] "Living-Room Leopards" (New Yorker \u2022 Nov 2013) [sub req'd]\nLearn more about your ad choices.
