  • 11: Surprise! Fat-shaming
    We discuss Scaramucci, the replacement for Sean Spicer, as well as the vote on Wealthcare, and the Senators who helped kill the bill. We talk about all of the shit Scaramucci got himself into this week and Priebus's resignation. Our topic this week ended up being fat-shaming because our friend (and former nutrition major) Lianna showed up at my house and we asked her to record with us!
    Also we are now a part of the Ace Podcast Network!!

  • 10: Are the Humanities Important?
    This week we invited our friend and host of Cloud9 podcast, Jordan Colea, to join us! We discuss the importance of humanities fields and how they have been devalued by society and what that means in terms of how much extra work these people have to do to survive in a country with a failing economy.
