More and more folks are talking about the ills of social media, but the platforms remain hugely popular (and addictive). Seth asks Tsh about her recent decision to leave Instagram even though "they" say writers should be there if they want to sell books. She was willing to leave her large-ish following and decade-plus feed for something better — and she has zero regrets. <ul class="ul1"><li style="font-weight:400;">Seth's <a href="https://sethhaines.substack.com/">Newsletter</a> + <a href="http://www.sethhaines.com/">Website</a></li> <li class="li1">Tsh's <a href="https://tsh.substack.com/">newsletter</a> + <a href="https://tshoxenreider.com/">website</a></li> <li class="li2"><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drinks">Pick up a round of drinks!</a></li> <li class="li1"><a href="https://bookshop.org/lists/a-drink-with-a-friend-reading-list">Our recommended reads</a></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><a href="https://tsh.micro.blog/">Tsh's micro.blog</a></li> <li style="font-weight:400;"><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1632/9780812986488">Confessions</a>, by St. Augustine (Sarah Ruden's translation)</li> </ul> This is a public episode.

Why is Seth Catholic? (part 1)

Formative books, formative places. A Drink With a Friend is a seasonal conversation series with writer Tsh Oxenreider—friends, new and old, chatting about what's shaped them: the book they loved as a kid, the one forming them now, and a place, big or small, they've never forgotten. No agenda, no hot takes ...just the best kinds of conversations over a good drink with a friend. thecommon.place
