  • The Ass Touch

    On this episode, we’re doing our best, as usual, at opening up to love and choosing quality over quantity in every aspect of life.

We give our takes on Sense & Sensibility, Kelly Clarkson’s vs. Art of Play, and more.

  • We Freaky Friday-ed

    On this episode, we're doing our best, as usual, at holding a lot at once, not freaking out, and building the new sonic world and the next chapter. It's a special morning episode where we realize we're weird in the mornings. We talk about communicating through chicken wings and other food, virality and hate comments, cyberbullying, our Freaky Friday situation, and much more.

  • Betwixt a Legacy

    On our 10th episode, we're doing our best, as usual, at detaching from the idea of how we thought things would look, loosening our grip on control, and multitasking. We're joined by our first guest, Nora's mom, Kitt Shapiro, for a conversation full of childhood memories, growing up as the daughter of Eartha Kitt, and what it means to rediscover and evolve yourself at any age.

    We apologize for the audio issues! We're doing our best to improve those, too.
