Welcome back for the second and final season of This American Ex-Wife: The Podcast! This season was generously sponsored by Funny Girls, which is a program run by The Harnisch Foundation that uses improv to teach leadership skills to girls and non-binary kids in grades three through eight. You can learn more about its work here.

This season we will also have some paywalled episodes, so if you want to support the podcast, become a subscriber to Men Yell at Me. That way you won’t miss me and Dan Savage talking about sex, Morgan Jerkins giving us dating advice, and Rebecca Woolf expounding on who is really responsible for your orgasm.

This season has some pretty spectacular guests like Dan Savage and Eve Rodsky! *faints*

New episodes will go live on Thursday morning at 1 a.m. ET and you can listen to them wherever you subscribe to podcasts.

For our first episode, Lyz talked to Scaachi Koul about how marriage consumes your identity, how everyone should get divorced, and her new book Sucker Punch, which is out on March 11, 2025. Do yourself a favor and pre-order it now.

It’s a beautiful bruiser of a memoir and I cannot stop thinking about it.

An excerpt from Sucker Punch which we reference in the episode was published in The Cut.

Zachary Oren Smith is the producer, and Suzanne Glémot made the art for the show. And thank you to everyone who shared their stories with us.

If you loved this episode, we have a whole first season you can listen to. You can also buy Lyz’s New York Times best-selling book This American Ex-Wife.

This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit lyz.substack.com
