Diabolical Lies

“Political commentary that’s so funny… you forget to be depressed about the state of the world!”

“Katie and Caro (a personal finance expert and a the author of Yesteryear) talk about a variety of topics mostly the intersection of pop culture and feminism.”

“Fresh voices and modern vistas on feminism. And thank goodness for them.”

“HOLYYY SHIT this was so good I was squealing at my cats who just looked at me with utter disdain for the entire 2+ hours. This episode of Diabolical Lies deconstructs "the cultural meaning of the Kennedys — and the attributes we not just accept but admire about this family tell us about our uniquely American pathologies." Or: "the curse that befalls a woman who gets in a Great Man's way". Some of my favourite moments from this ep (you'll need to pay to listen to it in its full two-hours-and-seventeen-minutes glory, but trust me when I say it is WORTH IT): “This show is the entertainment equivalent of this meeting should’ve been an email” “He has no discernible personality” “I AM GOING TO LOBOTOMISE MYSELF!” "There is currently a Kennedy in power wreaking fucking havoc on our country. There’s something pretty fucking insulting about the fact that we - the American public - are making romantic TikTok edits about a man who basically killed his wife with his recklessness, all while the sole surviving Kennedy with power is actively defunding vaccine research." OOOooofttt. The tea is piping hot.”

“About to throw down to get the paywalled eps (which I’ve never done for a pod before!) bc these two are brilliant and funny and every time I listen I feel like that meme of a mind exploding.”

“A long-form culture and politics podcast by Katie Gatti Tassin and Caro Claire Burke that will leave you feeling very smart.”

“An engaging deep dive into the alliance between neoliberal economics and social conservatism. Also I just really love the word DIABOLICAL and wish to incorporate it into every sentence.”

“far and away, the best culture and politics podcast i’ve ever heard. i come from OG money with katie days, so i was here for the humble beginnings, and will be a lifelong subscriber. a truly phenomenal biweekly piece of work.”
