Lies My Vagina Told Me

Louise Winter, an award-winning London funeral director and undertaker known as the “Mary Poppins of Death,” talks exhumation, mushroom coffins, grief, and how to live after someone dies.

We go from little deaths to the big one, and who better to guide me than my dear friend Louise Winter, the sexiest undertaker I know. She’s the founder of Poetic Endings, an independent, female-led funeral company in London, and co-director of the Life, Death, Whatever festival. At 25 she had never been to a funeral.

Season 3 opens with my journey to find my birth father by first getting my EU citizenship through Slovakia.

I meant to be back in September. Then my flight to Ottawa was delayed, I missed my EU citizenship interview, and my lawyers sent me to Bratislava in the middle of a European heat wave to get my Slovak and EU citizenship through my father, David Bako, who raised me but isn’t my biological father. That detour led to a call from a friend at Lionsgate about turning this podcast into a vertical series, which took me and on...

It's time for another chapter of Lies My Vagina Told Me, where my vagina has made a lot of questionable calls but today, she booked a professional. In this episode, I sit down for some girl talk with the one and only DJ Mighty Iris.

I fell in love with her when I did an interview on her show and we pick up where w...

Julian Fleisher is the only man I have ever successfully completed couples therapy with. Yes, friendship couples therapy. It's a thing. It works.

In this episode of Lies My Vagina Told Me, I sit down with my dear friend Gary Lippman—author, cultural critic, and former pro bono attorney for the Innocence Project—to tackle life’s deepest questions: Can world peace really be achieved at a swinger club? (Spoiler: maybe, but not in Spanx—which I learned the hard way at a Paris sex club.) It’s smart, filthy, and full of the kind of stories only Gary and my lying vagina could inspire.
