  • Ep 16 - Everywhere - Fleetwood Mac

    Have you ever loved someone so much you want to be with them everywhere? Do you watch rom-coms and dream about having a love that intense? Well, whether you have or haven't, ANCHRS Away hosts Amnesty Coldwell and Rachel Zyzda are here to tell you that either answer is acceptable in your own life story. Today's episodes was inspired by the lyrics of "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac, and Amnesty and Rachel discuss their own lenses on love compared to the lens society puts on it. They share advice about following your own journey to love, and not everything has to be intense, grand gestures that are borderline toxic and unhealthy (i.e. Noah writing Allie 365 letters in The Notebook). Speaking of The Notebook, Amnesty and Rachel also share their favorite rom-coms because sometimes it's just fun to indulge in them, even if you can't relate to them. As always, we wrap up with our weekly Wreck-ommendation.

  • Ep 13 - Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift

    "It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me." On today's episode of ANCHRS Away, hosts Amnesty Coldwell and Rachel Zyzda are joined by their friend Jenn Amols Brett, using Taylor Swift's "Anti-hero" as the muse for their discussion. The trio recalls feeling like pop music was too "uncool" to listen to during their teen years, but they are now secure enough to claim themselves as full-blown Swifties. Say it with us- it's cool to listen to the music you like, regardless of the labels and genres. They also share their struggles with feeling like the anti-hero and how they strive to be more confident and secure with themselves in all aspects of life, not just their music taste. As always, we wrap up with our weekly Wreck-ommendation.

  • Ep 9 - My Heart Will Go On- Celine Dion

    The songs that soundtrack our favorite movies can easily make or break a movie scene, and dictate the emotions we feel from those said scenes. In this week's episode of ANCHRS Away, hosts Amnesty Coldwell and Rachel Zyzda follow up on the premise of the "Running Up That Hill" episode, only this time focusing on movie scores rather than TV show soundtracks. As Titanic is Rachel's all-time favorite movie and just celebrated its 25th anniversary, this episode is aptly named after the iconic song from the film's soundtrack.  As always, they wrap up with sharing their weekly Wreck-ommendation.
