The Verge's Weekend Questionnaire feature turns its spotlight on Carter Sherman, a Guardian journalist and podcast cohost known for her reporting on sex, gender and politics. The piece is a light, personal Q&A rather than hard news, offering readers a glimpse into the habits, tastes and inspirations of a notable journalist, including a nostalgic nod to being scared by the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a child.

Sherman, previously a senior reporter at Vice and author of The Second Coming: Sex and the Next Generation's Fight Over Its Future, now cohosts Stateside with Kai and Carter at The Guardian. In the interview she shares that her most indispensable tool is a French press, cites Ocarina of Time's Deku Tree music as her most frightening gaming memory, names her book (based on over 100 interviews with under-30s) as her proudest creation, and admits to binge-watching Rick and Morty and splurging on concert tickets.
