Trad Wife

My guest this week is journalist Katherine Dee. She’s a culture reporter and writes an advice column at her Substack defaultfriend.substack.com. Her work can be found in the Washington Examiner, Tablet, UnHerd, and many other places. Katherine has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the internet: contemporary internet culture, the history of the internet, and the effect that it’s having on society. We spoke about Katherine’s theory on the political importance of Tumblr, the so-called ‘male-to-male transsexual’ as a product of the internet age, why Chinese kids aren’t allowed on TikTok, and much more.
