Protect Your Flame, feat. Durga Chew-Bose

This week, host Tavi Gevinson talks to author Durga Chew-Bose about her book “Too Much and Not the Mood,” writing with specificity, and tensions of identity. Rookie contributor Jamia Wilson brings us a new Life Skill: How to correct people when they mispronounce your name. We'll also hear from listeners about what Rookie means to them! Each week on the Rookie Podcast, we'll interview people we admire: artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, activists. We'll also spotlight the work of Rookie readers (now listeners!) and contributors. We'll discuss creativity, pop culture, feminism, activism, self-care, love, friendship, and more. --- Follow us on Twitter and Instagram: @tavitulle @rookiemag @mtvpodcasts  --- Find us at: rookiemag.com  | rookiepodcast.mtv.com  | podcasts.mtv.com
