Back in 2015, Daniel Lavery took over Slate's long running advice column, Dear Prudence, using his sometimes snarky, often hilarious, and always insightful writing to respond to other peoples’ confessions. This week he chats with Michael about how his own experiences – of transitioning, of family estrangement, of falling in love – all informed the ways he talked to those anonymous commenters on the internet.

Reading list:

Dear Prudence: Liberating Lessons from Slate.com's Beloved Advice Column, Daniel M. Lavery, 2023

Something That May Shock and Discredit You, Daniel M. Lavery, 2020

Middlemarch, George Eliot, 1871

God Forgets About the Poor, Peter Polites, 2023

Would that be Funny? Growing up with John Clarke, Lorin Clarke, 2023

You can find these books and all the others we mentioned at your favourite independent book store. Or if you want to listen to them as audiobooks, you can head to the Read This reading room on Apple Books.
