Katharine LeitchGUEST
So for context, I'm one of two co-founders.
Katharine LeitchGUEST
My other co-founder, Philip, he previously founded a company called Refinery29.
Katharine LeitchGUEST
It was a pretty defining media brand of the 2000s, and he sold it in 2019.
Katharine LeitchGUEST
And then after that, he came on to be entrepreneur-in-residence at the company that I was previously working at, Red Ventures.
AmandaHOST
The way that other dimensions are accessed in the book is through a tesseract, which is described as a folding of the fabric of space and time.
AmandaHOST
From a Refinery29 article about the book, quote, We related this explanation to Mr. Clark's explanation in The Flea and the Acrobat, of course, which, again, at the time, we attributed to gates and gates only.
AmandaHOST
Mm-hmm.
AmandaHOST
But now, with plenty of wormhole knowledge under our belts, doesn't Mrs. What's-Its' explanation of Tesseract sound a whole lot like she's describing wormholes? Yeah, for sure.
SarahHOST
And she took one look at Elizabeth's pitch and told her that it was a lovely idea, but it could never work.
SarahHOST
Dr. Gardner actually later admitted to Refinery29 that the idea was so naive that she had wanted to ask Elizabeth if she'd been smoking weed.
SarahHOST
Damn.
SarahHOST
And Elizabeth had taken only one course in microfluidics before coming up with this idea.
Lucie FinkHOST
You were working at NowThis News.
Lucie FinkHOST
You're Refinery29.
Lucie FinkHOST
I was at Refinery29.
Lucie FinkHOST
We were both at kind of similar organizations, I would say.
Lucie FinkHOST
You
Lucie FinkHOST
yeah.
Lucie FinkHOST
And I was always intrigued by you.
Lucie FinkHOST
I must have come across your stuff because I think Refinery29 highly aligned with the liberal, left-leaning content that now this was creating.
Emily Ash PowellGUEST
That just feels, I guess, weird, just coded.
LydiaHOST
Well, today, one of the articles that I read, but it was in, was it Refinery29? Yes.
LydiaHOST
It was, right?
Emily Ash PowellGUEST
Yeah.
25 MINS LATER
LydiaHOST
But a really good friend is also the one who can celebrate your win.
LydiaHOST
Yes.
LydiaHOST
And never feel jealous or judgmental or, you know, you would want them to also, when you say like, oh, I got an article in Refinery29, which, I mean, I'm not a writer, I don't know loads about it, but that seems like a big deal to me.
LydiaHOST
Like, it's huge.
Amanda BradfordGUEST
I don't even know if they're around anymore.
Amanda BradfordGUEST
But, you know, things like Refinery29, TechCrunch, Business Insider.
Amanda BradfordGUEST
So we, you know, I had friends that had worked in PR and they told me, you know, you need to, here's how you pitch.
Amanda BradfordGUEST
Here's the people you need to pitch.
Suzannah WeissGUEST
It's an event that happens in the brain and it's not really confined to one part of the body.
Suzannah WeissGUEST
I read this Refinery29 article recently.
Suzannah WeissGUEST
maybe a decade ago about women who have never had an orgasm.
Suzannah WeissGUEST
And there's this one woman interviewed and it's really sad.
Ilana GlazerHOST
I find her to be totally visionary and grounded at the same time.
Ilana GlazerHOST
She most recently joined Refinery29's Unbothered as the senior vice president of brand and editorial content.
Ilana GlazerHOST
And she started her own YouTube channel, Bodied with Erica Chitty, where you can get expert advice and also learn how to research your own health as a woman.
Ilana GlazerHOST
She is incredible.
Chris YingHOST
Every single one of these websites and magazines will have an article like this one from Men's Health is literally called 12 Foods Every Couple Must Bring to Bed.
Chris YingHOST
This Refinery29 article says, Frozen grapes are delicious even without the lovemaking, so imagine how delightful the fruit can be when orgasms are involved.
Chris YingHOST
And, like, here's the thing.
Chris YingHOST
These articles are, like, from a pre-AI era.
KirstenHOST
Okay.
KirstenHOST
And your profile highlights features in Cosmopolitan, BuzzFeed, Yahoo, and Refinery29.
KirstenHOST
What has that recognition meant to you?
Gabrielle CollazoGUEST
It was more like someone just posted my memes or something on the website, and I was just featured, but I wasn't actually doing it.
