In the second episode of the Dear Prudence podcast, Mallory asks, “Are ‘experiencing consequences’ and ‘ruining your life’ one and the same?” Then she talks with Slate’s Jamelle Bouie about election season anxiety, Bill de Blasio’s attempt to use his “black card,” and why apologies sent via text message aren’t really apologies at all. Finally, she has some advice for Maria from R.B. Greaves’ 1969 hit “Take a Letter Maria.”
Slate Plus members can hear the episode now. Starting next week, we’ll be releasing excerpts to give nonmembers a taste.
