In this week’s Gabfest, DoubleX editor Hanna Rosin joins nymag.com staff writer Noreen Malone and DoubleX blogger Bryan Lowder to discuss a new study that suggests homophobic people might be secretly gay, our cultural fascination with celebrity pregnancy and the furious debate over how one should spend one’s workday lunch break.
DoubleX endorsements:
Hanna Rosin recommends the novel The Newlywedsby Nell Freudenberger.
Noreen Malone directs you to the second anniversary landing page of Longform.org, where you can read journalistic gems from the likes of Mark Singer and Scott Eden.
Bryan Lowder implores you to make your own fresh ricotta cheese at home with this recipe from elegance gourmand Ina Garten.
