In 1923, the Long Beach Press began an advice column—Minerva's Mailbag, later changed to Tell It to Mary—geared toward the young women of Long Beach.
What problems were vexing the teen girls and emerging adult women of Long Beach? Join us for an absolutely terrif discussion about flappers, dating, petting, loneliness, and upturned gender norms in a hotsy-totsy, yet topsy-turvy, time of rapid change in Long Beach.
Ordinary Unhappiness presents a live recording of the Podcast for Social Research! Abby recently joined Danny Lavery, Rebecca Ariel Porte, and Kali Handelman to celebrate Danny’s new book, Dear Prudence, which spans his tenure as beloved advice columnist “Prudence” at Slate. The group tackles historical antecedents of advice columns from the New Testament to the Great Depression; how advice columns dramatize social norms as they change in real time; fictional representations of advice columns like Nathanael West’s Miss Lonelyhearts; tricksters who set out to deceive advice columnists but wind up asking real questions despite themselves; transference and the idiosyncratic role of the advice columnist as both generic and specific Other; and crowdsourced advice seeking (AKA Reddit’s Am I The Asshole?). They wind up by taking questions and offering live, unscripted advice about real estate commitments, relationship commitments, and the dicey intersection thereof. Plus: pro tips on how to stage difficult interventions with roommates and others in your life about grooming, household chores, and more.

What constitutes "good advice"? We switch things up a little and tackle some questions from advice columns to see how ours stacks up against the professionals. How do you tell a crush you like them? How do you know it's the right time to have a baby? And one question puts to test that old adage, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
This week's Everyday Answers:
What's the best advice you've ever given or received?
