Katherine Dee returns to break down the overwhelming apathy many seemed to feel during 2023 and look ahead to what we might be facing in 2024. She and Bridget discuss her culture war burnout prediction, why the Zoomers feel like the internet belongs to them, the pressures of being a content creator, treating it like a business yet being unable to admit to other content creators that it is a business, kids who are growing up with their parents putting their lives online, the trick to being uncancellable, the effects of Elon taking over Twitter, the pressure to always weigh in and have an opinion on everything, knowing how much work goes into the content that is out there, balancing longevity with virality or immediate success, how everyone is in their own echo chamber, and why you shouldn't listen to her when it comes to politics. Check out her Substack Default Wisdom.

Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
