Review of The Organist - Janine

Janine

“Janine, By now, you must have seen the Yelp reviews I’ve posted. I 5-starred some restaurants in your area and posted photos that I knew would entice you. Did you see them? They said Janine, I need to talk to you. Or maybe you’ve seen the Pinterest board I made about vegan cookies, each pin pleading in its own desperate way that should be familiar to anyone trying to find new recipes for vegan shortbread. Janine, I labeled each of my pins, please talk to me. I tweeted all your favorite comedians begging them to retweet me. @SarahKSilverman This tweet is for Janine! Janine do you want to see a movie together soon? We don’t even have to talk. Please RT. I put up an eBay listing for the copy of an original printing of A Crack-Up at the Race Riots you’ve been trying to find. I actually do have a copy. I found it at an estate sale last January, a month after you left. I don’t want to sell it. I want you to have it. My feedback score is getting pretty bad because I keep cancelling orders from people trying to buy it. Just put it on your watch list so I know you see me. The last time I saw you, we kissed goodbye. You said you would call me when you got back from New York. Did you meet someone else? I Venmo’d you a lot last month. $1 for each reason I could think of that you could be mad at me. I cleaned out my savings doing it. I know I have a lot of terrible qualities. You don’t seem to use Facebook anymore, but there are some messages waiting for you there if you ever decide to log on. Some of them are kind of humiliating for me, but I still hope you’ll read them. I miss you. I’ve reviewed all the graphic novels that came out this year on Amazon. Some old ones, too. You’d love this one, Janine. Let me know if you want to borrow it. I even Instagrammed Dash Shaw’s new one. Have you seen it? I think you really would love it. I’m hoping this message finds you. The Organist was your favorite podcast. Is it still? I remember coming over once, finding you silently crying in your living room, Miranda July’s voice filling the space. Apparently she had said something on her Organist interview that touched a nerve. You told me, “Miranda said she feels like her own servant. And I realized that’s how I feel. It’s like I’m always trying so hard to make myself happy but nothing is ever good enough.” Everyone on Yahoo Answers says I need to move on. But how can I move on when everything in the world reminds me of you? When I can’t help but put more things into the world hoping you’ll somehow find them, that somehow you’ll find a way to click the like button.”

“As a long-time subscriber to the Believer magazine (oh yeah, subscribe to that now, too), I shouldn't be surprised at the high quality of this podcast. While the first few episodes may be a bit rough around the edges, they are getting tighter. Rough edges aren't so bad, anyway. I...”Read full review »

“The existence of this podcast explains why we were born with ears. And a brain. And thumbs to operate an iPhone. Just listen.”
