Episode Number 15. Quentin Tarantino's foot lettuce.
This week Emily's sharing her thoughts on controversial filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. Get ready to be filled with righteous fury and too many foot fetish facts.

Our apologies for the sound quality this week! We had quite a bit of technical trouble with this one and ended up losing some of the audio completely. But we'll be back with our regular BS next Friday! Special thanks to Paul for helping salvage what we could from our messy, stinky audio clips.

Hey, gang! Let's talk about vaginas!
This week we're educating ourselves on hymens and the myth of virginity. If you, like us, had a sex education experience that was a little lacking in the education part, this episode is here to set the facts straight. What's a hymen, what do they look like, why do we have them, and what can they tell us about a person's sexual history (spoiler alert: not much)? Tune in to find out!

A lot of the info for this episode comes from this exquisite book by Hanne Blank:

In this episode we're talking about the fast fashion industry and our take on making more ethical fashion choices! We talk about shopping alternatives, corporations to avoid, and our tips for making the most of your style options while making the least negative social and environmental impacts. This episode is meant to be a sort of beginner's guide to ethical consumption by giving an overview of the fast fashion industry. We are by no means experts on these topics, and we encourage you all to help us grow together into a more informed community by contributing ideas, corrections, information, and opinions to the conversation. Join the discussion by DMing us or writing us at the email listed below and we will bring up your comments on our next episode!
