  • Episode 31: Our Thoughts on the Storming of the Capitol feat. Sruthi Ganesh

    In this episode, we're joined by a special guest, Sruthi Ganesh! We were originally going to spend this week talking about k-pop and all of its many implications, but given the events on January 6th, we decided to address the acts of domestic terrorism instead. Listen to us rant about, as Isha puts it, the desecration of our democracy and feel free to send in your own thoughts. Don't forget to follow our instagram @pod.bestbuds to keep up with our updates, like when we'll release the real k-pop episode!

  • Episode 30: Jumping into the New Year!

    Happy New Years! It's not a Tuesday, but we wanted to release this episode earlier, just in time for the best day of this wretched year-- the last day! In this episode, we reflect on the roller coaster that was 2020. We all know how crazy and tumultuous it was, but in the end, we were still able to learn a lot about ourselves and find some glimmer of gratitude for this time in our lives. We also talk about our hopes and dreams for next year, like hugging our friends again and hopefully staying awake in lecture once we go back to in person classes. Thank you all for sticking along with us throughout this year! We hope everyone stays safe and warm this holiday season, and see you guys in 2021!

Make sure to check out the playlist we've compiled with all our favorite songs mentioned in this episode! You can find it at the LinkTree in our Instagram bio (@pod.bestbuds).

  • Episode 24: Ranting about Career Choices

    Hello, and welcome back to another chaotic episode! We've been pretty stressed thinking about majors, internships, and overall career choices, so we wanted to have a little ranting session about it. There's so much to talk about, from honors programs to parental expectations, but talking about this was pretty cathartic for us! Let us know if you relate to anything we said, and as always, follow our Instagram @pod.bestbuds!

  • Episode 23: 2020 Elections Recap

    Hi guys, and hope everyone's doing well despite the post-election stress! We wanted to do another episode recapping the election, our thoughts and anxieties going through the process, and our outlook on the next four years. (Disclaimer: We recorded this literally 4 hours before Biden was announced as the winner so we were still in the dark about the outcome). We've also been very ~curious~ about conservative views and trying to figure out why we think so differently, so Callie stalked a bunch of right-wing accounts on Tiktok (ah yes most reputable source) to learn more. As always, follow our IG @pod.bestbuds, and please take care of yourself <3
