Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
We are back and we have a special guest with us! This week, in lieu of giving YOU advice, we asked one of our favorite advice-givers, Brandy Jensen, writer, editor, and "Ask a Fuck-Up" columnist, to talk to us about the whole business of advising strangers. We discuss being a romantic in 2024, how to tell when you're in love, the current media fascination with polyamory, and some of Emma Goldman's best takes.
Stuff we mention in this episode:
Brandy Jensen on Twitter and her Substack advice column.
Brandy at the Yale Review: The Polycrisis
Emma Goldman, Jealousy: Causes and a Possible Cure
Emma Goldman, Marriage and Love
Toni Morrison, Jazz
We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in New Orleans.
