Aimee and Lisa are anxious: about germs, about mortality, about the state of the world (and things far less serious, too). Each week they grapple with one of their anxieties, from the trivial to the existential, in a humorous and heartfelt way. They're helped along by smart and entertaining guests like Simon Doonan and Anne Roiphe, who offer advice—and some homework!—for our hosts to overcome their various anxieties.

This week, Lisa and Aimee consider the years they spent freaking out about germs before the COVID pandemic had everyone stockpiling Purell, and how their behavior—and their rationalizations of it—has changed in the past year.
They’re joined by A.J. Jacobs, who’s written about overcoming his own germaphobia, and who offers all sorts of insights into how we can all be less consumed by germs in our daily lives.
