Bitch Talk Podcast

We're taking you back to Summer 2014 with this one, when Karyn was still singing for drunkards in North Beach San Francisco, we hadn't yet heard of cannabis lubricant, and we were still trying to get listeners to call into the show.

Joyo Velarde is not only a talented singer, she's also a veritable style icon in the Bay Area, and one of the coolest people one could ever hope to meet.  Best known for her work with her husband and rapper, Lyrics Born, Joyo has been a featured vocalist on some of hip hop's best indie music.  In between music festivals and international tours, Joyo also works as an esthetician, and gives us some key advice on how to keep it cute and healthy.

Looks like we made it!  We celebrate our 100th episode with a live audience and a panel of all-star guests in San Francisco's Hemlock Tavern.  It was a festive night, indeed.  Guests include: comedian Reggie Steele; filmmaker Angela Tabora; blogger and TV show producer Gabi Moskowitz "The BrokeAss Gourmet"'; and Pop Culture Wiz Kid  Dino-Ray Ramos.  And in the most serendipitous of John Stamos Minutes, our show took place on JS's birthday and we had a cake with his face on it.

Our guest this week is the San Francisco Giants' team photographer, Andy Kuno.  During our conversation we find out how Andy came upon such a golden opportunity and how he's turned it into a career spanning almost two decades.  Plus, as usual, we pitch him an idea for a spinoff side-hustle called "Baked Off," and then we find out where Andy keeps his World Series rings. Follow Andy's incredible Instagram account @punkpoint

Apparently the online community known as Black Twitter isn't just virtual, but it's also represented in the employee demographics at Twitter's headquarters here in San Francisco.  And speaking of demographics, reality show "Million Dollar Listing SF" does not shine the best light on the city of San Francisco or its full spectrum of citizens.  Later, we discuss the inevitable reality of attending your high school reunion, and we go on a tangent about why men are always insisting that women smile.

Sometimes we just gotta catch up!  We have an extended Update segment this week, talking about dance class, dogs and baseball.  Then we go into a tangent about OITNB, who we'd like to as a new cast member, and the gender-fluid sexual magnitude of Ruby Rose. And to end on a high note, we discuss the bronze statue of Satan in Detroit and how rock-hard his abs are sculpted.  Hot.

We're taking you all the way back to episode 04 with this week's flashback rewind classic.  In fact, this show is the first time we ever mentioned John Stamos. It harkens back to the days when we drank a lot more Jameson and didn't bother with introductions.  Topics include:  Tired Barbie; Spring Training in Arizona; How to Pick Up a Guy; and a round of F**k, Marry, Kill.

Pop culture expert Dino-Ray Ramos is back - Yay!  We have a rousing conversation about very female-oriented things, and honestly it's our most menstrual show yet.  Fear not, however, there is plenty of talk about, including the sexier side of Netflix and the recent announcement of the Emmy nominations.

If there's one thing we know to be true, it's that you never know what's going on behind closed doors.  Whether Judd Apatow is condemning Bill Cosby's wife or Jennifer Garner trading up in love, who really knows the truth? After a brief catch-up on recent celebrity breakups, we welcome Bay Area legend Brian Copeland to the show to discuss his career in entertainment and his recent fundraising campaign to make admission to his one-man show, "The Waiting Period," free for a year.

We got a chance to interview award-wining director Asif Kapadia (SENNA) to discuss his highly anticipated documentary, AMY, about Amy Winehouse.  AMY opens in theaters on July 10, 2015 and it definitely gets the "Bitch Talk Seal of Approval."  Follow @asifkapadia on Twitter for more info.
