56: We're Conspiracy Theories! With Julia Estelle Cotton


Listen Later

Sarah and Maggie are joined by the one, the only, Julia Estelle Cotton! She dishes on everything from motherhood to performing with FCC Dallas sketch ground to working in the newsroom.


A little bit about our guestie bestie:

Julia Estelle Cotton is a Dallas-based performer, producer and writer who has put up several stage productions and continues to teach storytelling workshops for people of all ages across Texas. She co-founded the Dallas-based, all-black sketch troupe, FCC Presents, dedicated to creating socially relevant live comedy experiences. You may have seen Julia on WFAA where she served as host and producer of digital content, including “on-the-street” interviews, viewer watch parties and various audience engagement pieces. After a career in broadcast communications, Julia joined the North Texas Food Bank as an advocate for the neighbors of Dallas County experiencing food insecurity. Using her experience in storytelling and helping others share their voice, she worked to make important connections between food partners and resources in the Dallas area, leading and hosting community meetings and events. This summer, she will embark on a journey with Educate Texas, part of Communities Foundation of Texas, working to ensure that ALL Texas students, especially African-American, Latino, and economically disadvantaged students receive education that will lead to a living wage and see them contributing to thriving communities.


But before they're inspired by the hilarious and talented Julia, Sarah and Maggie talk a lot about conspiracy theories without having very many details to support or contest the theories. Like, Sarah’s husband has lots of theories about ancient civilizations but Sarah can’t really remember them because it was a full two weeks ago that they talked about it. And MAYBE apples have a lot of caffeine in them… but who knows?


Plus a cold hard fact:

Fact: White tea, yellow tea, green tea, oolong, dark tea, and black tea are all from the same plant! The differences between these teas are purely related to how they're processed.
