Text Me Back! With Lindy West And Meagan Hatcher-Mays

By: Meagan & Lindy
  • Summary

  • Bestselling writer Lindy West and democracy policy expert Meagan Hatcher-Mays are two Award-Winning Best Friends From High School (Most Likely To Make You Laugh in their high school senior poll - sorry to intimidate you!). Each week, Lindy and Meagan hilariously digest what’s going on in the news, their lives and their text threads with their singular combination of political smarts, embarrassing sincerity, and a truly concerning level of investment in pop culture. Text Me Back is a podcast about best friendship and making your favorite people laugh, even when this dumpster fire of a world gets you down.

  • Lindy and Meagan Corner the Zombie Pig Demographic
    Jan 23 2025
    A real embarrassment of riches over here on the Text Me Back side of the internet. First, we pay tribute to David Lynch, which bridges poetically into our next phase of entertainment: the Trump administration’s trailblazing focus on Making Hollywood Great Again with washed up losers who failed out of Hollywood! If art isn’t dead already, these freakin’ ding dongs will make sure it’s killed for good.But you know what? We also have good news. Our segment Normal News brings us wonderful news about zombie pig brains! And in the famed and celebrated segment known as Christmas Addendum, Meagan shares a trinket we CHALLENGE you to guess (email us at deartextmeback@gmail.com with your guesses prior to hearing the answer–we’ll know if you cheat).

  • Lindy and Meagan Are Even Better BBWs in 2025
    Jan 9 2025

    It may be the dead of winter, but in our hearts the clammy buds of spring are bursting–and so are Lindy and Meagan!—with squeaky-clean teeth, resolutions, and creamed corn. This week, they dive into their post-holiday recap, revisit their 2024 affirmations, and commit to their new 2025 goals (including being Even Better Better Businesswomen!!).


    Plus, the Text Me Backolytes share their own resolutions! We are eating fruit, sewing, cooking, and enriching our pets’ lives. We are going to the library. We are being cute. This is the resistance, friends!


    It’s not too late to share your resolutions! Tell us what’s ahead in 2025 by emailing us at deartextmeback@gmail.com.


    And we simply must know if you are joining Meagan’s “Pickles” resolution. Tell us what foods are YOUR pickles by DMing us @textmebackpod on IG and Tiktok.
