Lindsay Goldwert joins 404 Media on self-censorship, comedy

The 404 Media Podcast devoted this week's episode to a conversation with writer Lindsay Goldwert that sits well off the outlet's usual tech-and-labor beat.

The episode, running approximately 48 minutes, frames the hour around three threads: "why people are self-censoring on the internet these days," honing confident communication skills "even if it means embracing conflict," and how Goldwert's "own midlife plot twist meant dropping everything to do stand-up comedy."

Goldwert is a writer and "soon to be certified sex educator" whose bylines include the New York Times, New York Magazine, Fast Company and MarketWatch. She authored "Bow Down: Lessons from Dominatrixes on How to Be a Boss in Life, Love and Work" (2020) and co-wrote the more recent "The Midlife Plot Twist" with Gabrielle Moss.
