March 19, 2019 17. Do Age Differences Matter?
We’re back after another mini hiatus! This time, I’m missing four teeth. In our second advice-only episode, Gabrielle Vendette (@gabriellevendette) and Mia Anhoury (@mia_anhoury) returned to chat with me about open relationships, baby fever, and dating people who are older than us. Other talking points included bisexuality and choosing the right gift to give your partner. We also answered questions like, “Is it important to tell your partner you’re a virgin?” and “How can you get out of your head and go with the flow?”

February 12, 2019 14. Let’s Talk About Sex (& Steve Urkel?) ft. Elaine Genest
After a short (read: ridiculously long) hiatus, we’re back! In this episode, friend of the show Elaine Genest joined me for a Valentine’s Day extravaganza! Following a brief explanation of my mild existential crisis, we discussed how to actually talk to people, how to feel sexy, how to be a good wing person, and how to date while working night shifts. Other talking points included orgasms, pegging, and dental dams. Also - Elaine doesn’t know who Steve Urkel is???

November 20, 2018 13. Tom & Teffer’s Birth Story
Producer Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and YA Podcast host Teffer Adjemian (@TefferBear) had a baby! His name is Tobias and he’s perfect. This week we talked about how rad midwives can be, how much Tom hates hospitals, how much of a badass Teffer is, how scared I am of giving birth, and how wonderful having a newborn is. We also got super emotional and everyone cried (except Toby, because he’s the best podcast baby in the world).

October 16, 2018 9. Instagram Influencers ft. Despina Daniilidis
My sweet friend and creator of Skin Poetry Despina Daniilidis joined me in the studio this week to discuss the ins and outs of being an artist, creator, and influencer. We answered questions like, “What’s the difference between creating a brand and making art?” and “Do you have to call yourself a feminist to be one?”. We also talked about Taylor Swift’s place in politics, how much we loved A Star Is Born, and how sexy Drake is. Most importantly, Despina gave me her best skin care secrets!
