MAYBE IT'S ME

著者: Eileen Pollack
  • サマリー

  • Maybe It’s Me is a question all women have asked themselves thousands of times. But I hope my podcast will resonate with anyone of any gender, sexual preference, race, religion, or nationality who is engaged in the very human search for connection, love, acceptance, and self-respect. I will air a new podcast every other week, starting with the essays from my critically acclaimed collection Maybe It’s Me, then moving on to newer musings about survival and resistance under a Trump dictatorship, how to keep learning and growing even as we age, how to unleash your own creativity in the form of the personal essay. A sometime standup comic, I will be reading my own work: imagine if David Sedaris were Jewish, straight, female, and not quite as funny.

  • A FRIENDLY BOOK OF FACTS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
    2025/01/24
    This one is about a truly horrifying sex-ed book that has been chasing me around and trying to bite me for decades. Back in the 1950s and '60s, parents sure did a lousy job of teaching their kids about sex and love. The books are better now ... but our kids probably learn most of what they know from watching porn, which is even more upsetting than if they were given the book my mother gave me.

  • RANCH HOUSE
    2025/01/10

    My parents were obsessive about keeping our 1950s ranch house spotlessly clean, well repaired, and orderly. They seemed to be afraid of everything. But why? Sadly, we often don't figure out the reasons for our parents' craziness until they're no longer with us.

    I've included a photo of the house in 1954, the year my parents' built it. Here's a picture of me giving my dad a shave and haircut (without a blade in the razor or a pair of scissors, of course).

  • THE JEWISH SHAH Part II
    2024/12/27

    Could the Shah of Iran have been Jewish? Maybe. What interests me even more is how family legends get started, what they mean to us, the amazing ways in which our family stories intersect with larger social movements and historical events, and how much we ever really know about our fathers.

    I've included a photo of Sidney Polivy with Episode 3. Here's a photo of Sidney (on the left) and my father (on the right) in India during WWII.
