For the 269th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes writer and podcaster Dana DuBois. Through her I Write Out Loud and podcast The Daily Whatever Show, Dana has become a thoughtful, nuanced voice on culture, relationships, parenting, politics, and feminism. In this conversation, Dana discusses midlife dating as a post-divorce Gen Xer, how dating apps have reshaped relationships, what she learned parenting through her child's gender exploration journey, her inclination toward demisexuality, why she draws a distinction between identity and preference, her take on attachment styles, and her thoughts on motherhood later in life.
