Are We Dating?

Hey friends! Hope everyone is staying safe and cared for. This week we're doing a little chat about body positivity and radical self-love. Using Sonya Renee Taylor's bold and brilliant book The Body Is Not An Apology as an entry point into our conversation, we have a frank chat about body-shaming, the differences between self-love and self-acceptance, modes of healing, unlearning self-hate, and how a framework of love could maybe just change the world. As we all hunker down, slow our lifestyles, and experience increasing isolation in quarantine, Sonya's message of love and self-compassion was one we wanted to lift up, and we hope our conversation brings some comfort, lightness, and hope to our listeners as well!

'Sup, quaran-teens! Welcome to the Coronacast. We've got no mics, no school, and no plans for the future! Tune in as we chat social distancing, finding and maintaining community while quarantined, general angst, and flourishing meme culture. We may be stuck at home but even Miss Rona can't keep our sweet, sweet voices from tickling your tender quarantined eardrums. So strap in, and stay safe kids!

Greetings, fellow woodland beings. This week we chat coronavirus panics, which albums make us remember we are human beings with emotions, Emily reveals a big life decision, Isa talks about becoming a #sk8rgirl, and we experience various increasingly frustrating technical difficulties along the way! In all, a typical pod.

Emily's microphone pooped out this week (RIP) so if you notice a lot of extra background noise (clicking, thumping, faint yet boisterous male voices, etc.), please do not be alarmed! We encourage you to think of it as your own personal ASMR experience. ;)

What's popping, brothers? This week we're chatting college plans, the perfect date night, horse girls, Abraham Lincoln's zodiac sign, ugly pets, and more. Plus a very mature and civilized debate on cats vs. dogs, just to stir the pot.

Hey, love bugs! In this special Valentine's themed episode, we debate the meaning of this amorous holiday and the best ways to spend it. We also chat love languages, failed hug attempts, constipated resting faces, and feet pics, plus some other stuff. Hope you all have a fulfilling Valentine's Day, and find yourself both the giver and recipient of all kinds of love!

Hey, angels! Join us this week for some chats about college planning, big-ish life changes, superbowl reactions, and semi-heated Disney vs. Universal discourse.

Apologies if the audio sounds a bit janky near the end, we (predictably) had some tech trouble this week.

In this episode we're discussing the topic of asexuality and media representation. What is asexuality, how is it represented in the media, and how can we be better allies to the asexual community? We chat about this and much more including coming out, labels, and the complex fluidity and ambiguity of "attraction."

Neither of us are by any means experts on these topics, but we thought we'd share our experiences to try and open up a generative conversation about asexuality and sexuality in general. If you have any questions, corrections, critiques, or additions to our discussion that you'd like to let us know about, please fill us in either by email or direct message. For more information we recommend these online resources and communities:

Hello, teens. It is I, an adult. This week we chat birthdays, back-to-school, college plans, and other exciting life changes. And don't forget to tell the special Aquarius in your life that you love them and that they are the superior Zodiac sign. ;)

What up, Rat Boys! We are back in 2020 with some TV reviews and a healthy dose of chaotic energy! Strap in for a hearty discussion of The Witcher (but mainly just praise of the obvious best character and actor, Roach the horse), life updates, WWIII thoughts, and general terror about the future.

Tune in for our last pod of the year!!! In this episode we round up our favoritest and not so favoritest parts of 2019. We chat movies, music, life lessons, and more!

Apologies if the audio sounds different in this episode! We recorded this on our one backup mic in my echoey dining room while sitting on 90 year old squeaky creaky chairs and with my dogs snoring in the background. This recording situation reflects the way 2019 has made us feel. While we make no promises that our audio quality will improve in 2020, we are so grateful for the patience and support our listeners have shown as we slowly learn how to podcast through trial and error. Wishing you a wonderful festive season, and we'll see you in 2020!
