  • Girl Code
    The first rule of girl code, is that you never talk about girl code.
    Well, actually it's not but there IS a surprising amount of rules, which we discuss in this episode!
    Alice and Giana revisit their youths to discuss the times their moral compasses, loyalties and reputations were on the line, all down to the sanctity of girl code.
    Is it okay to date your friend's brother? What about exposing another girl's secrets?
    Find out whether you're a die hard girl coder or are you on the next train straight outta Girlsville - we'll save you a seat.

  • Spo0o0oktacula Special
    Don your pointed hats, dust off your brooms and gather ‘round the bubbling cauldron for our first annual Spo0o0oktacula special!
    Listen to us throw shade across the atlantic as we list our favorite bad good and good good scary movies. We also dig into why we even like to be scared, talk cultural appropriation when it comes to costumes, and also somehow manage to fit in a short dialogue about vampire porn. 2010 was a weird time for us all.
    Do ya like scary movies?

  • Summertime Sadness
    Your favorite sad girls are back with a recap of our two month long siesta. And boy oh boy is this ep a chaotic editorial representation of our summers (and an interesting exploration into our mental states?).
    We'll play *summer or bummer*, re-live our trips, concerts, and existential challenges of getting old as f*ck. Time to get into our feelings.

  • Big Dick Energy
    Big Dick Energy is so hot right now, and so are we in this New York heat. In this ep things get real hot and nasty as we discuss (and mispronounce) BDE, David Bowie, and how we challenge, fit or break the mould when it comes to gender roles. Crank that AC, bring a fan and join us.

  • Emo Night
    Whether you’re in a sophomore slump or having the comeback of the year, we’ve got a dark alley and a bad idea to delve into our teenage scene kid days, with special homage to our ride or die fall out boyz.
    We dish on everything from our past festival experiences to the saga of the scene kid (PC 4 PC?) and how emo music has impacted our adult lives and relationships! Also -- with a set of pipes like ours, you definitely don't want to miss the competitive FOB lyric game in the middle.
    Do you even play a violin, bro?

  • Vagina Dialogues
    With our biological clocks ticking, what better time to talk about the prospect of motherhood (and all things vag)?
    As Giana's family await a new bundle o' joy, it leads her to deflect the 'b' word more than she'd like and begins to draw up her 5 year plan. Meanwhile Alice struggles to talk motherhood without the concept of marriage on the table, all the while doing her best OJ impression with 'I don't want kids, but if I did...',
    We also touch upon the upcoming abortion referendum in Ireland, single motherhood and Nelly Furtado. So fasten your stroller straps, you're in for a bumpy ride.

  • We Just Don't Understand Guns
    With one political science class between the three of us, we welcome back Chelsea and have a layman discussion about the hot button issue that is gun control. We're questioning everything from the Constitution to arming teachers to the way we talk about mental health. Get ready to hear a lot of sighs, whys, and "I don't knows" as we try to reach a place of understanding when it comes to right-leaning logic (or lack thereof) on gun control.
    If you're feeling super down about the topic, at least skip to the last 15 minutes where we play a fun little *how to buy a gun* Internet game and see how different our findings are cross different sides of the ocean.

  • New Year, New Us
    After Thelma and Louise-ing it off the cliff that was 2017, Alice and Giana have dusted themselves off and unearthed a new lease of life, or at least they're trying to with the aid of new years resolutions!
    Zoodles, meditation and Swell water bottles are all on the table whilst you're heading towards a healthier, happier you - but will 2018 see us being the more-energetic-reading-for-fun-velvet-touching yogies we've set out to be , or are we the same ol' Vine watching neggy chicks we've always been?
    Have you got any resolutions for 2018?

  • Back 2 School
    In this episode we're debriefing on our Fall semesters back at school (after a rocky start singing a Taking Back Sunday song like it was being performed by Blink 182, naturally)! We talk high school superlatives + Alice makes her epic return to the classroom (while being pegged as the "old kid"), and Giana reflects on her first year teaching college writing.
    So put your cell phones away (or don't, since you're streaming this) and step into our classroom! You're gonna learn today!

  • Post Election Reflection
    THESE GIRLS BACK - after a very studious 12 weeks, and in the wake of the #MeToo movement, your girls Alice and Giana are back with a rather reflective installment: Trump, Brexit and Jesse Lacey are but a few of the topics on this episode's agenda, as we look back at the political shit storm that has been the last 12-18 months. So saddle up, as this is about to get real heavy.
