AGECRAFT After Dark
AGECRAFT After Dark is what happens when the 3 a.m. thoughts stop being ignored and start being followed.
Formerly Circling the Drain, this next iteration expands the conversation beyond menopause and midlife into something wider, weirder, and more alive—aging, identity, and reinvention for women, queer, and gender-expansive people who know there’s no neat box to fit into and no final version waiting on the other side.
The “ghosts” here aren’t paranormal (usually). They’re inherited patterns, past selves, and memories that still have opinions. Instead of exorcising them, we get curious.
Expect thoughtful conversations, sharp humor, and stories that are personal, cultural, and occasionally a little strange.
If you’re listening at night, that tracks.
Welcome to the circle.

Meet the Fibroids with Aileen Weintraub
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Aileen Weintraub is an award-winning author, journalist, and editor, as well as the human home to three giant fibroid tumors. The discovery of these many years ago led to several months of forced bed rest during her pregnancy, but the silver lining (for us) was that the ordeal inspired her to write Knocked Down: A High-Risk Memoir. We devoured this book in about a week because it is hilarious, relatable, and compelling. You should buy a copy right now, but first, listen to our chat with Aileen, learn how Ellie literally gaslit her son about her own rectal gas, and enjoy Julia's continuing angst over the lack of a perimenopausal pamphlet. (Seriously... somebody get her a pamphlet STAT!)
