This week on Bar\Heart, host Amy Haimerl interviews Lyz Lenz, who writes the newsletter "Men Yell At Me" about the intersection of the personal and political.

They talk about being an outspoken progressive writer in Iowa, what it means to belong in the Midwest, finding your voice as a writer and even gas station breakfast tacos!

This week's music and audio production was by Silas Hite. Reporting and editing by me, Amy Haimerl.
