After School Special

Every month I make sure Amindi hasn't gotten too famous and deleted my number from her phone. It's an important ritual, like when she updates her Animoji's hairstyle. Amindi is a musician, performer, and first generation Jamaican-American. This week she joined A.S.S. to teach us about song-writing, share a glimpse into the music industry, and casually name-drop Rihanna.

Auri Jackson is a Buzzfeed Video Producer, environmental activist, and human woman with "the same hair-texture as Aileen Wuornos" (her words exactly). Tune in as Auri remains shockingly calm when talking about the sheer terror that is climate change, and continue to listen as Erika and Faye casually use the term "doomsday." Save the planet!

You definitely know Courtney Perkins, but probably from the astrological memes from her Instagram @notallgeminis. As a Gemini herself, Courtney joins Erika and Faye to defend against the Gemini stigma and teach us a bit about ourselves.

Comedian, podcast host (The Bechdel Cast), and member of Mensa — Jamie Loftus — joins Erika and Faye to tell the legend of Chuck E. Cheese. How did the business start?

Ashley Lukashevsky is an artist and activist that uses her platform to dismantle the patriarchy and we are thankful for it. Originally from Hawaii, Ashley teaches Erika and Faye about life on an island, the best Hawaiian snacks from 7-11, and why Mauna Kea is such a big deal (and what we can do to help preserve the indigenous land).

Best known for being an elite Washington insider, Carey Seuthe takes Erika and Faye on a journey to the hill. We learn about her role as some sort of press secretary, how she navigated the willful ignorance of politicians, and who (if anyone) she didn't lose respect for.

Tarot Priestess Melinda Lee Holm joins hosts Erika and Faye to discuss Friday the 13th. Where did the fear of the 13th come from, why does it always revert back to Jesus, and is “The Craft” a realistic narrative? This episode covers all things magick, myths, and a weird intro about shrimp gender.

Actress Ariela Barer (Marvel’s The Runaways, One Day at a Time, Ladyworld) joins Erika and Faye to teach them about airplanes. Ariela explains how her airplane knowledge developed from a crippling fear that turned into hours of aerospace research — and still remains a crippling fear today.
