E302. Kat Timpf Is Politically Nonbinary

Author: Conversations with people from all walks of life. September 12, 2024 Duration: 1:22:08
Kat Timpf returns to talk about her new book I Used To Like You Until…: (How Binary Thinking Divides Us). She and Bridget discuss her career trajectory, how she wound up on Fox News, getting into stand-up comedy, her marriage and impending motherhood.

There’s a certain kind of honesty that only comes from a good conversation, the kind where people stop performing and start talking. That’s the space Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy occupies each week. Host Bridget Phetasy brings a deep appreciation for grit and raw authenticity to every discussion, whether she’s unpacking the beautiful failures and frightening successes from her own life or sitting down with a guest from a completely different world. You won’t find formal interviews here; instead, you’ll hear genuine, meandering conversations with real people about the real struggle-the messy, complicated, and often hilarious work of being human. This podcast operates on the belief that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy, but the true mistake is hiding from the full spectrum of experience. By embracing all of it-the doubt, the triumph, the absurdity-these talks celebrate the shared threads in our stories. It’s a blend of society, culture, and commentary, often funny, always candid, that reminds you you’re not alone in the chaos. Tune in for a podcast that feels like a long talk with a brutally honest friend who helps you make sense of it all.
