⭐️ Are AI headshots a diet?

⭐️ What are our go-to beach snacks and how are we protecting our folds and rolls as summer heats up and sweat is everywhere?

Housekeeping note: We've changed things up a bit to solve some behind-the-scenes tech issues, so here's how to get your Burnt Toast fix:

FREE LISTENERS can find this episode on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or the podcast player of your choice.

PAID SUBSCRIBERS can listen right here on Patreon, or add your member-only feed to the podcast player of your choice.

Paid subscribers also get transcripts, commenting privileges and our bonus (audio only!) Indulgence Gospel segment. This week Corinne and I are going to discuss our feelings about shorts. Why did we like them last year? Why do we hate them this year? Are we too old for shorts? We will be getting into this spicy, divisive topic. Don't miss out — join us here!

Indulgence Gospel segments get recorded too close to drop day to have transcripts — but you can find an AI-generated transcript if you’re following us on Apple or Spotify! If you're listening, Indulgence Gospel starts at the timestamp 35:20.
