If there are two things we love more than anything, it's badass women and standing up for what we believe in! Belén & Nicole (and myself) used to work for a well-known organization in NYC that is founded in helping artists GROW and LEARN with industry professionals. After realizing that this organization wasn't fulfilling their mission statement due to allegations of racism, sexism, blacklisting, inappropriate misconduct, and violating NYC labor laws, they kickstarted a group forum so that those who have experienced these issues were able to safely express them in the form of a testimony. They are now fully advocating for those who have been wronged, hoping to change the way the organization is currently being run, all while creating their own organization that helps people transition into recognizing their racism/privilege so they can enter a workplace with a blank slate. PLEASE check these lovely ladies out, show them support, and let's all continue to learn together, and tear down institutions that won't get their sh*t together.

Did you have to quarantine on a giant floating prison with no hope of ever seeing land again? Okay, that might be a bit dramatic. BUT we do know someone who DID have to self-isolate in a similar way. Rhetta Mykeal, friend of the pod, was quarantined in her small cruise ship bedroom for 50 whole days on the water after her performing contract was cancelled due to Covid-19. She gives us all the details on what she did to keep herself busy, what was provided for her, and how she coped.

This episode is double trouble with back-to-back guests Tyler J. Gasper & Celah Doore. SPOILER ALERT: they're the same person! Tyler, Jamie's childhood best friend, gives us the inside scoop on how our favorite little demon truly was as a child, then passes the baton off to his drag counterpart, Celah Doore! She gives us all the tea on the NYC drag scene, what her go-to's would be if she were a Ru girl (*manifest it*), and what incredible things we can expect from her in the future! If you love boys in dresses, then this is the episode for you. Don't tune out too quickly, because you may miss a message from our sponsors (us) about a top secret project (our merch) that you can expect in the near future (next week)!!! #DrinkWineSpillTea

Your favorite dynamic duo is BACK and better than ever. We're quarantined, educated, wearing masks, and ready to fulfill your comedic fantasies. You know, the type that makes you laugh until you get that weird pain in the side of your stomach that hurts but feels good? That one. In this episode, we OFFICIALLY reunite in person with your favorite kind of episode... a point blank. So much has happened! CJ joined Tik Tok, Jamie has a hernia, and they're both ready to tear down system and build it back up again. It's 2020, what else do you want?

CJ's fiancé (don't ask, we know you're confused) joins us this week for all of the gossip! From the beginning of college to now, they've been through it all. Zoe Jensen (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, We Are the Tigers, Polkadots) tells us all about living with CJ, how she's kickstarted her flourishing career, and how she's been keeping busy during quarantine. Check her out on the First National Tour of "Hamilton" as Eliza Hamilton and the original cast recording of Off-Broadways "We Are The Tigers."

We hope you learned a lot from our episode, "Black Lives Matter. Period. (feat. Manny Monroe & Alexis Nwokoji)." Their voices are strong, important, and educational, and we're so grateful that they took the time to teach us what we've neglected for so long. Taking the time to actively listen to them is what will help allies lift up black voices and change the world. Our next four guests are JUST as strong and important. From running a student organization that tells black stories, to a tragic racially charged incident, to being a bi-racial woman, to growing up in a predominantly white community...Jordyn, Adrian, Rhetta, and Nathaniel give us insight on what it means to be black in today's society, as well as lay out what we can do to support and be better allies. Like our last episode, this is THEIR platform, and we're here to listen & learn. We encourage you to do the same! #BlackLivesMatter

There's a problem in our world, and it's been happening for way too long. If you're wondering what that problem is, you're not paying attention (and you should listen carefully to this episode. It's racism. We want to be clear that this episode is NOT for entertainment, but for education. Manny Monroe & Alexis Nwokoji- performers, artists, activists- graciously sit down with us to discuss systemic racism toward black people on an institutional level, how it's affected them personally, and how WE as allies can do the work that we've neglected for hundreds of years. This is their platform, and we're here to listen & learn. We encourage you all to do the same! #BlackLivesMatter

Here is everything you need to know about Chris Medlin! Trust us...Jamie did her research. You may have seen him in Mean Girls or Diana: The Musical on Broadway, as well as in various productions around the country. You can also listen to his single, "See You When I See You," out NOW wherever you listen to music, ANNNDDDDDD you can binge "Sweet Magnolias" on Netflix TODAY where you can see his charming face! It'll be worth it, he was one of the hottest boys on Broadway in 2018. Talk about a ~flex~.
