  • Ep 314. Jonathan Majors Guilty While Gaza Still Grieves Ft. Nehad Khader

    In one of our final episodes of this year Shanti shares her last accomplishment in her attempt to "look like herself" while Antoinette recaps her family Christmas party and her favorite cup of tea (literally).

    For our politics segment, we are joined by special guest Nehad Khader. As much as we wanted to end the year in love and light, we felt it important to continue to raise awareness about the continuing genocide in Gaza. Nehad was generous enough to share her lived experience as a Palestinian who like many of us is attempting to maintain hope while refusing to ignore her duty to her homeland and her people in the fight for all oppressed people throughout the world.

    We end our episode discussing the recent verdict of Jonathan Majors in which he was convicted of assault in the 3rd degree and harassment in the 2nd degree. We share our reactions and discuss the qualifications of redemption and potential within the public sphere. Join us...

    Palestinians to follow to learn more of the history and current events unfolding in Gaza.

  • Reprise: Ep 31. You Don't Own Me Ft. Hey Fran Hey

    In episode 31, we are joined by our homegirl, the amazing Francheska Medina aka Hey Fran Fran. We talk about the new wave of "heartbeat bills" and the looming republican challenge of Roe vs. Wade while examining the ever-present Pro Life/Pro Choice argument. From there, we explore the idea of the self-possessed woman. We ask ourselves if it is possible, as women, to achieve true agency over ourselves, our thoughts, and our bodies in a man's world. And if so, how? Join us.

  • Reprise: Ep 270. Koreans Fry The Best Chicken?

    Yall, We did not record the week of Thanksgiving and took a much needed break to be with friends, family and each other. Enjoy this reprise. We'll be back next week:)

    Shanti pours herself a drank (or 3) while Antoinette takes an edible before the chaos begins...

    The episode starts seriously with Antoinette sharing her frustrations about the men she is attracting (Shanti does her best to keep it together to console her). Things begin to unravel while listening to voicemails and the real shenanigans begin with us trying to figure out who knows the other better. We end with a deep discussion on which culture fries the best chicken. Join us...
