digress & confess

BE THE DADDY COLONEL SANDERS you wanna see in the world

Nick, Melissa, and Holly talk birding, algorithms, and silly string. The audio problems persist and we persist harder, much like Hatsune Miku. There’s more explanations of a girl who does it, and if you’ve ever really wondered about Freud, this is probably not the place to be, but we discuss him! What’s ERP? What would Holly name her firstborn? How about childhood OCD? All this and more, queenifers!

Send us your confessions, babes. We’re craving to share them on pod.

WELCOME ALL AS POD HAS WELCOMED YOU

Welcome back to Digress & Confess! In this wildly anticipated first episode of season two, Holly, Nick, and Melissa get right back into it. Are we virtual now? Yes. Does that make it worse, somehow? Yes. Do we give up in the face adversity? Yes, but we made it into our promised land—podcasting. 

Who is Law Roach? What's contemporary art? What really is frotting? All this and more!

IT IS NEVER FINISHED.

Holly, Nick, and Melissa digress across the world this week, from iPads and Zotero to pickled beets and virtue signaling. What is a barista doctor? Is Hay Day a game for the people? Nick joins a queer rugby league and heals. Holly defines a girl who does it. Melissa yawns in a mega way and discusses her upcoming move. (If you’re listening on the day of release, Melissa is somewhere in West Virginia.) Consider this: creative outlets for you and not for profit. Consider!

That's a wrap on season 1! Thanks for listening. We'll be back soon for a second season, and in the meantime, don’t forget to submit those confessions!

*SPOILERS AHEAD for Doctor Who*

TRUST IN THE REDDIT with all your heart.

Join Holly, Nick, and Melissa jumping right in with fake laughter, AI psychosis, and Doctor Who. Holly discovers Doctor Who is not a medical drama, Nick reveals his Nanowrimo past, and Melissa unearths her true first impressions. What is this podcast if not for the eclectic nature of friends and their strong roots dated back to Melissa’s 2013 party? This episode has the welcomed return to confessions at the end. Thanks for joining us and don’t forget—it’s OK to look up words you don’t know. 

P.S. The song Melissa was thinking of is Sticky by Tyler, the Creator

EVEN GODS MAKE MISTAKES. 

Join Nick, Holly, and Melissa as they forget to press record. Sorry queenifers—this audio is coming directly from an iPhone and sounds a bit off. Mega apologies to our producers (ourselves) for this mild indiscretion. 

Join CONFESS THEN DIGRESS as we chat auf Deutsch, about introducing people at parties, and baby snatchers. Melissa speaks on the diva alert at the Harper Collins booth, Nick brings back religious conventions, and Holly reminds to remember Nicole Kidman. 

Pay extra close attention to the light and love leave our voice as we realize the audio was not recording. It's a historic "yup."

IT GETS TO A PLACE OF MENINGITIS.

Join Holly, Nick, & Melissa as they run through a series of digressions, all running back to the trauma-informed sauna. How do you know you're in a place of mania? Have you accidentally revealed your hag identity to a coworker? Just listen to these three geezers.

HAPPY PRIDE QUEENIFERS!

P.S. Sorry if the audio is slightly funky this week, Melissa's on edit duty.

DRUGS ARE ENOUGH.
