Our interview with Mary H.K. Choi is a guaranteed best-seller. Mary—New York Times best-selling author whose new novel, Pool House, is out June 9th—made her glorious return to the show to chat with us about her garmento father, autism-friendly bras, hacking the hang, a bone we have to pick with her, pending book dedications, how the hell do you even market a book in 2026, if we're past Korea's peak soft power, Los Angeles isn't hell but it might be purgatory, the weird way best-seller lists work, making the jump from the YA world, exploring her latest set of characters and who might play them in a movie, adapting her own work for the worlds of television and film, how to write good sex scenes, her books have actually been banned which is very sick, rules for author portraits, when it comes to celebrity book clubs do they actually know ball, defending the performative male, profiling us for personalized book recs, she's prepping for a hero dose of psychedelics, short stories are basically reels, and much more on Mary H.K. Choi's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.


In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
