Published by Tatia & January
Strong Opinions, Loosely Held. Tepid Takes is a podcast from two writers with strong opinions, curious minds and a tendency to get professionally distracted. January Gilchrist and Tatia Power talk books, writing, pop culture, feminism and the stories that unite or divide us. Expect raw honesty, unexpected sides quests, deep thoughts and an awkward amount of laughing at our own jokes. We may have strong opinions... but we know enough to hold them loosely... so prove us wrong.

For our first episode of Tepid Takes , we’re launching The Story Edit , our monthly dive into the stories we tell, the stories we’re sold, and the ones that deserve a rewrite. We look at why the Lindsay Clancy case has become such a powerful and divisive storytelling moment, attempt to reclaim gossip from its bad reputation, dig into the history of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald whose contribution deserves more attention, and finish with the most interesting publishing deal of the month . Expect strong opinions, big laughs, a few feminist rants and a genuinely good time pulling stories apart to see what’s really going on underneath. Strong opinions. Loosely held.
