Maggie Moda appeared on Timcast IRL to discuss current political news, historical violence, and cultural topics alongside the other panel hosts. During the broadcast, the conversation drifted toward historical figures associated with extreme behavior, sadism, and philosophy. One of the speakers referenced the Marquis de Sade and his literary contributions, specifically mentioning the work Marquita Assad in the context of material that has been around for a long time. Furthermore, the discussion briefly touched upon the companion work Justine, or similar classic writings by the author, noting that such provocative and dark historical themes have persisted in literature for centuries. Through these references, the podcast segment contextualized modern societal discussions by looking backward at infamous historical texts and the enduring fascination with transgressive literature, dark philosophy, and the darker aspects of human history explored by early writers.
