Oh hey it's Lindy West!

Lindy's the the executive producer of Shrill, a new Hulu series starring SNL's Aidy Bryant that's based on Lindy's 2016 novel of the same name. And we talk with Lindy about a few of the delightful scenes from the series (including an epic pool party), why Lindy left Twitter, and her forthcoming new book called The Witches Are Coming. She also tells us about how her new Hulu series subverts a common TV trope.

\u201cUsually what we get are weight loss narratives and makeover narratives. And these sort of sad sack stories about either people trying to lose weight and succeeding or trying to lose weight and failing and being sad,\u201d Lindy says.\u201cThe whole idea is that there are other ways to live and that you deserve a life that is bigger than that \u2014 and that has a scope beyond your body and what it weighs.\u201d

Lindy West y'all!
