Welcome back! In this episode, we finish off the Cotto sibling list by welcoming Lucy’s older brother Ray Cotto! With Ray we discuss the meaning of masculinity, frat culture, and the relationship an athlete has with their coach. Of course, we poke fun at each other the entire time. Annika and Lucy begin by discussing how they’ve been during their hiatus as well as their future careers. They finish by sharing their Rose, Bud, and Thorns after a long week, and express their gratitude for much-needed quality time. Basically, the episode does as much jumping around as ever. Be prepared to laugh and think critically at the same time ;)

Welcome back to our (not so) regularly scheduled How've You Been! From online school to *fun* pictures, we cover it all in the intro this week. But that's absolutely nothing compared to the conversation we had with our guest this week, the one and only Jake Jones. Lucy's surrogate brother and Mac Miller doppelganger, Jake warmed our hearts and charmed the sh*t out of us for two straight hours the other night and while you only get to hear a chunk of our fun and lovely conversation (because we don't always record everything, you content junkies), it is absolutely chock full of funny anecdotes, incredible advice, and of course the mandatory rogue behavior. From unconventional college journies to coping with loss, Jake brought the heat and we cannot wait for you all to hear it! So, settle in for this week's episode of How've You Been? The Podcast.

Hello Hello! Welcome Back to another episode of How've You Been! This week is our very first rouge episode and we're both emotionally overwhelmed and incredibly excited to share this new little series that we'll be occasionally dabbling in. essentially, we don't have a guest this week! Thanks to a series of unfortunate events, it's just Lucy and Annika and our psychobabble this time around and while it might be the first time this is happening, it certainly won't be the last because, as we all know, life can be a real b****. Basically, if in the future we ever don't have a guest or if something goes wrong, we'll be serving up an episode of just us going rogue and we hope that despite the disappointments of no guest, you'll find some joy and love in these episodes too. With that being said, strap in and settle down for this episode of How've You Been? The Podcast.

Today is your lucky day, we've got Siri Chilazi on the podcast! Siri is a  Research Fellow at the Women and Public Policy Program at the Harvard Kennedy School of government. A graduate of Harvard University with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry, an Masters in Business Administration and a Masters Degree in Public Policy, Siri came and brightened our days and inspired our weeks completely and entirely in the course of an hour. We learned concrete information about the gender based wage gap, chatted about empowerment in the workplace and academic scenarios, and the benefits of parental leave. Then we wrapped up with a discussion about fitness and general philosophies on life. All this followed one of our most candid and vulnerable introductions to date (yes, Annika does cry) and we finish up with our Rose, Bud, and Thorn plus some fun Weekly Favorites as per usual. Enjojy the ride and remember, we love you!

Well hello! Welcome back or welcome to an absolutely cream of the crop episode of How've You Been? Today, Lucy and Annika are joined by the most fantastic and talented and funny and enchanting guest, Sophia James. Singer, songwriter, UCLA student, and of course, American Idol Top 10 Finalist Sophia James brings the f*cking heat and spills all the good tea about her experience on Idol, her creative process, and what it's like as a young woman in the music industry. But before the magic of Sophia James, Lucy and Annika discuss where they're at and how they've been (shocking). Lucy's been feeling not the greatest but we caught her at a good moment and Annika's kind of okay but how long do we really think that'll last? Taking bets now, just kidding (not really). And lastly, the duo finishes off with their weekly Favorite Thing and their Rose, Bud, and Thorn; or in Annika's case, Rose and Bud because apparently, this week was thornless. Get ready to have those ears satiated because this episode is a good'un!

This episode features the absolute one and only rock star cell culture scientist and IGTV rising star Camille Smith. But before Lucy and Annika get the chance to talk to her about relationships, working in STEM, and what it means to be a Black woman in the world, your two chaotic favs discuss Annika's risky text, her subsequent insecurity, and a few of Lucy's highlights from the past week. After a wonderful, and truly we mean it when we say *wonderful* conversation with Camille Smith, Annika and Lucy cover their personal Rose, Buds, and Thorns as well as some endearing weekly favorites. Welcome back to our delayed (but oh so worth it) episode of "How've You Been?".

Welcome back or in some cases welcome to How've You Been? people! This week is a very big one, we sit down to talk to none other than the legend himself, Aidan Arasasingham. But before we get to that, Annika has a crush (!!!) and Lucy is getting on top of her game. The two of them discuss that plus Lucy's favorite actor and recurring topic Micheal Cera and Annika's favorite actress Jessica Chastain. When Aidan arrives for a chat, things get real informational up in this podcast and he serves knowledge of the education system, voting, local politics, affirmative action, and ever architecture. We loved getting his perspective on so many timely matters and we cannot wait for you to hear from him as well. And finally, as is customary, Annika and Lucy finish off with their weekly Rose, Bud, and Thorn as well as their favorite things. Enjoy because we know we did!

Just like any great rollercoaster ride, Annika and Lucy take a couple of interesting twists and turns this week on How’ve You Been? First, Lucy shares (what she feels is) a near-death experience, leading to a much-needed conversation about religion and spirituality. Then somehow the two make their way to discussing the mystery man Shawn Mendes—a classic transition. Things really heat up when the duo gets real with Lucy’s striking and loving older sister Carol Ann Cotto. The ladies chat about mental wellness, charity, and family group chats. As you could have guessed many tangents were had and they even found their way to coming out and uncovering past lives. After both an outrageous and deep conversation, Annika and Lucy wrap up by sharing their favorite Things, Rose, Bud, Thorn, and you guessed it— more unwanted singing.
