Danielle Drori | Abby and Patrick welcome Danielle Drori of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research for the first in a two-part miniseries introducing the work of psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche (1924-2012). A brilliant clinician and theorist in his own right, Laplanche combined a critical reading of Freud with insights drawn from anthropology, the history of science, and Western philosophy to revolutionize how many analysts saw questions of sexuality, development, language, and more. Yet while incredibly inf... | 1h 44m 38s | ||||||

| 1/28/26 |  BONUS EPISODE: Romantasy, Fantasy, and Trauma | Abby joins Moira Donegan and Adrian Daub on one of our favorite podcasts, In Bed With the Right! The topic is romantasy - as a genre of fiction, as a publishing phenomenon, and, above all, as a cultural symptom. What do readers - and women specifically - find in romantasy narratives? How does reading relate to play, and fantasy to trauma and healing? The three explore all these questions and more! Texts include: Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses series Rebecca Yarros, Empyrean series... | 1h 16m 00s | ||||||
| 1/24/26 |  130: Movies, Screens, and Fantasies feat. A.S. Hamrah | Abby and Patrick welcome film critic A.S. Hamrah.

| 12/27/25 |  127: Projective Identification Part I feat. Brian Ngo-Smith | Abby and Patrick welcome psychoanalyst and clinical social worker Brian Ngo-Smith for a conversation about one of the most difficult but powerful concepts in psychoanalytic theory: projective identification.

| 12/13/25 |  125: Demons, Community, and Conversion Therapy feat. Grace Byron | Abby and Patrick are joined by writer Grace Byron, author of the fantastic new novel Herculine. Alternately hilarious and terrifying, Herculine is the story of a young trans woman who leaves a frustrating life in New York City to join an erstwhile high school lover in a trans separatist commune in rural Indiana.
