This week sucked. Listen to us complain about it!

Perri recorded a great episode with her sister, Sarita...until she noticed she only recorded her own audio! So enjoy this teaser episode with Sarita and expect a full episode with her very soon! It's still a fun episode, we promise!

We're back! After taking a break last week, Jesse and Perri dive into the Oscars (mainly Brendan Fraser's epic win). Jesse discusses how he became a film snob, and they reminisce about the glorious days of the video store.

Well, Jesse's doing it. He's going alcohol-free for the month of March! So naturally, him and Perri discuss sobriety within the alt scene. Perri also talks about her new crush, Courtney LaPlante, the lead singer of Spiritbox. Y'all really should check them out.

This week, Perri welcomes comedian and fellow theater dork, Ellie Summerling to the podcast. They talk about being thespians in high school, Ellie's experience in Shakespearean theater (we love a pretentious actor), and how she started doing comedy. Jesse joins in at the end because what is the Goth Mom Podcast without a cameo from Goth Dad.

Happy Valentine's Day! Releasing this on a Tuesday for all you goth lovebugs, Perri and Jesse talk about all things love: romance, unrequited love, heartbreak. Perri recounts Jesse proposing to her, and Jesse recounts all the times he was waaaay too romantic. Also discussed are the most romantic alt subgenres (spoiler alert: it's goth and emo). If you're not romantic, are you even a goth kid?

Perri has alt-girl turned lawyer, Emily Rickard, on the podcast this week. They reminisce about high school, talk about being alt ladies in the adult world, wax poetic about their love of Philly, and address where Emily's fear of dogs stemmed from (spoiler alert: it is not quite the story Perri thought it was for the last 20 years).

Well...that got unexpectedly heavy (I am your Goth Mom after all). This week, we discuss the implications of death and divorce when you have a kid, Jesse's lack of self-esteem in high school, and past roommate situations. It's a real upper episode.

Uh oh...we have our first on-air fight (and encourage you to take sides). Perri also talks about how her life has changed since moving back to Philly from Portland (how has it been five years) and we somehow segue into the dangers of celebrity and fame. Truly unsure how we got here.

Jesse got his colonoscopy and lived to tell the tale! We also discuss being a poser vs. a snob in within a chosen music genre and how Jesse, ummm, wanted to teach someone a lesson, and Perri is now contemplating divorce.
