We make a lot of choices, every single day. Some explode, some implode, most we barely remember. Each week on Choice Words, Samantha Bee sits down with people she admires to examine the biggest choices they’ve made in their lives and the ripple effects those decisions have had. What’s a story a journalist took a chance on that changed history? A vote that a politician never should have cast? A song lyric a musician came up with in the shower that made them instantly famous? 

Sam’s made a lot of choices, too. She may have to interview herself about starting this podcast.

Democracy or Else (with Jon Lovett)

This week, we’re thrilled to introduce My So-Called Midlife, a new podcast by Reshma Saujani and Lemonada Media.

“Is this it?” That’s the question Reshma Saujani, founder of two successful nonprofits, asks herself every day. She’s married to a great guy, raising two beautiful kids, and has achieved everything she thought she wanted—so why does midlife feel so… unfulfilling? Determined to find answers, and with her group chat cheering her on, Reshma’s bringing in reinforcements. In My So-Called Midlife, she sits down with brilliant minds like Chelsea Clinton, Emily Oster, Cheryl Strayed, and more to explore how we can stop simply surviving this phase of life and start truly living it.

In today’s episode, Reshma chats with her friend, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, about how to stay present while balancing kids, a marriage and the highest of high-pressure jobs in the world.
