In the first of hopefully many bonus episodes of the podcast, we interviewed Jean Casella, co-director of solitary confinement news organization, Solitary Watch. We chatted with Jean about the depiction of solitary confinement in Orange is the New Black, how solitary can alter the brain, and so much more. Consider this the building blocks of an education in solitary confinement.  You can read more about Solitary Watch at SolitaryWatch.com, or you can check out their book, Hell is a Very Small Place: Voices From Solitary Confinement, out now wherever books are sold. We highly recommend it for those looking for a more detailed picture of life in solitary confinement.  Join us!

The 2017 Emmy nominations are rapidly approaching, and Orange is the New Black Season 4 is up for consideration. We enlisted Patrick Schmidt (Netflix Life) to narrow down the odds for both Season 4 and the recent Season 5. Who deserves a nomination? Can the show land a nod for Outstanding Drama? Also, we talk the art of binging, surprise celebrity directors of OITNB, and whether or not the show could go on without Piper. SPOILER ALERT: Please don't listen to this episode unless you've seen all of OITNB Season 5. You've been warned.

OITNB Seasons 4 & 5 - Emmy Odds

Wow. This season of Orange is the New Black was intense. And we're here to help you process all your complicated feels. Guest Julie Linzer joins us in an intense overview of OITNB Season 5. We chat highs and lows, share some funky haikus inspired by Poussey, and wildly speculate about what's going to happen in Season 6. SPOILER ALERT: Please don't listen to this episode unless you've seen all of OITNB Season 5. You've been warned.

OITNB Season 5 Discussion

Christina Iovanne, Certified Thanatologist, joins us to break down all the nitty gritty when it comes to mourning. She talks us through all the specifics of Grief and Loss, including the famous theories from Elizabeth Kübler Ross and John Bowlby, as well as how to apply these theories into the real life practice of mourning.  Also, we ask the best way to mourn a fictional character, process the loss of one of our favorites on Orange is the New Black, and talk about why the public mourning associated with Black Lives Matter can fall in the category of "disenfranchised grief." Loss is hard, y'all. We're here to help you through it.

Bonus Episode #3 - Grief and Loss 101

Jamie Broadnax, the founder of vibrant online community Black Girl Nerds, joins us for the first segment of a two-part discussion focusing on that emotional OITNB Season 4 finale. We talk about the lack of diversity in the OITNB writers room, the occasionally problematic integration of Black Lives Matter into the narrative, and whether or not we'll be tuning in for Season 5.

On this week's Orange is the New Black podcast we explore the violent rollercoaster of emotion that is OITNB Season 4, Episode 12.
