Truly, Tradly, Deeply — Inside the Tradosphere with Annie Kelly (E345)
Added 2025-10-22 03:16:01 +0000 UTCAnnie Kelly spent most of 2025 investigating the online world of so-called “traditional wives” or “tradwives.” On this episode she sits down with Travis, Jake, and Julian to talk about her new six-episode miniseries Truly, Tradly, Deeply for the Cursed Media podcast network. Among other discoveries: it’s more difficult than you might think to even properly define “tradwife,” much of the community promotes a fantasy about the pre-internet age, and tradwife content is far less fringe than it used to be.
The first two episodes of “Truly, Tradly, Deeply” will be released on the Cursed Media podcast network on the 29th of October.
Cursed Media subscribers also get access to every episode of every QAA miniseries we produced, including Manclan by Julian Feeld and Annie Kelly, Trickle Down by Travis View, The Spectral Voyager by Jake Rockatansky and Brad Abrahams, and Perverts by Julian Feeld and Liv Agar. Plus, Cursed Media subscribers will get access to at least three new exclusive podcast miniseries every year.

Barbara Ehrenreich also wrote about the problems of positivity in Bright Sided. For one thing, it's another way of promoting extreme personal responsibility over systemic understandings of issues.

2025-11-01 03:35:08 +0000 UTCNot surprised. There is seemingly a dumb off-brand, hard-right, antithesis to so many well considered, studied discourses; “Toxic Empathy(cringe)” is like a stupid off-brand version of “Toxic Positivity” that Byung Chul Han has written about at length in his book “Burn Out Society.” He describes how toxic positivity excludes consideration of “the other” and the avoidance of or downright denial of negativity. The conservative trad-wife rejects a primary tool for engaging with the other and acknowledging negativity, namely empathy. I think this is why we should not be surprised that wellness influencers so easily succumb to the right, even if seemly wrought with contradiction. “Self improvement” is inherently antisocial and there is a political ideology for that.
