Drawing from her own journey in the public eye, Monica's unique ability to understand both vulnerability and resilience creates a rare sanctuary where cultural figures, experts and friends feel safe to truly open up. Each week, these intimate conversations go deep but not heavy and invite listeners to find their own connection to the stories of how we get back what was once lost or taken from us. Monica guides conversations into self-exploration with warmth, humor and the kind of unexpected insights that can only reveal themselves when one has navigated the complexity of life.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T14:19:06.997700+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reclaiming-with-monica-lewinsky-7190769"},"episode":{"title":"Anna Konkle","slug":"anna-konkle","published_at":"2026-05-05T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reclaiming-with-monica-lewinsky-7190769/anna-konkle","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reclaiming-with-monica-lewinsky-7190769","url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/ADL8428630391.mp3?updated=1778609799","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/ADL8428630391.mp3?updated=1778609799","summary":"Emmy-nominated writer, actor, and co-creator of the critically acclaimed series PEN15, Anna Konkle joins Monica this week on Reclaiming for a conversation celebrating how dark humor can get you through almost anything. Anna retraces her path from a chaotic childhood to co-creating PEN15—a show that lets everyone process the tragicomedy of adolescence. She opens up about a five-year estrangement from her father that ended abruptly when she became his sole caregiver in his final months, and about the ways she’s been able to recategorize her mom—from a source of eye-rolling to a source of admiration. Anna reveals why now was the time to explore grief and reconciliation in her debut memoir, The Sane One, and how the solitary act of writing offered a different kind of healing than collaborative television. Expect a conversation brimming with laughter, warmth and tragicomic story swapping between Monica and Anna.
