The FLD

The FLD podcast is about modern life—mostly one young millennial's living in San Francisco. It's a bit of navel-gazing, curated for a discerning audience and designed to supplement the weekly Substack newsletter by the same name. thefld.substack.com

Hey!

The second after you get engaged, social media slams you with wedding content, mostly in the form of tips and advice: you need a day-of coordinator, no one gives a sh*t about party favors, make sure the officiant steps aside before the first kiss, don’t steam dresses in the same room as hair and makeup, breathe. But no one (NO ONE!) prepares you for how scatterbrained and tense you’ll feel the week leading up to your wedding. I...

Hey!

I had my bachelorette earlier this year. It coincided with the fake-out TikTok ban in January, which only mildly interested a group of women in their early thirties.

Bachelorette parties used to be a one-night affair. You wore one outfit—not five—dined, danced, partied, and moved it along. But lately, they’ve evolved into a trip, a retreat, a religious pilgrimage. (The bride-to-be becomes a small deity.) Sincere kudos to the w...

Hey!

I wrote a heady piece this week because I felt like I was gazing at my navel for too long. For the record, this newsletter was written with a satirical edge. I do not lay awake at night mulling over why some people choose to write in all lowercase letters. I wish they wouldn’t, though! I read my full newsletter in the second half, but before that, I talk about texting pet peeves and the great irony of what I call “achieved effo...

Hey!

Last week’s episode was a bit somber. This week’s is not! I read my full newsletter about the day I got married in the second half, but before that, I chat legal marriage logistics, my new last name, Liu-Dufner, and “show weddings.” I invested in a screen-style pop filter, so hopefully the audio is crisper. I think it is. A tip for new podcasters: get a screen pop filter, not the mesh one that goes over your mic.

Thanks for lis...

Hey!This is my inaugural podcast episode. I read my full newsletter in the second half, but before that, I chat about what to expect each week from this podcast, Up the Air (the 2009 movie where Anna Kendrick and George Clooney go around the country laying people off), and how I feel about losing my job in early January. I consider myself a seasoned writer, but a novice podcaster, so any notes or feedback on the episode are appreci...

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
