How've You Been?

Man oh man, it has been a week. Emotionally and quite literally, it has been a full seven days. On this particular Thursday, the How've You Been? duo covers making progress mentally, an accidentally missed flirtation, The Muppet Movie, and even the Cuomo brothers thirst-trapping; a pretty full slate if you ask us. Then, the effervescent and lovely Nicole Anticona joins the podcast and generously shares her experience as a Dreamer with DACA status living in the United States. The conversation eventually finds its way on to what it feels like looking ahead to a career in entertainment, a love for makeup, and so much more. Then finally, Lucy and Annika dive deep into their Favorite Things and as usual, cover their weekly Rose, Bud, and Thorn. Sit down, strap in, and psych yourself up for the latest episode of How've You Been? The Podcast.

It's a 100 to 0 week here at How've You Been? as Lucy and Annika rip out of the gate with raunchy conversation and pull back for a lovely and wholesome interview. Preceding a conversation about music festivals, WAP, and conservative media pundits, Lucy and Annika convene to chat about their collectively tough weeks and continue to shed the negative energy with Halle Wellington, Lucy's ride or die from high school, and an old pre-school buddy of Annika's. Together, the three of them take a walk down memory lane, recommend some films and movies to each other, and talk about all things fall and spooky season. Plus, during their wrap up Annika shouts out a friend with her favorite thing and Lucy thoroughly sums up her week while sharing her Rose, Bud, and Thorn.

This time around on How've You Been, things get absolutely rogue. The gals discuss feeling motivated partly (or entirely?) thanks to a few espresso shots, Lucy finally gets to talk about the movie Cats, and Annika impersonates Matthew McConaughey. Needless to say, it's a wild ride. Things get even better when Annika's favorite cooking buddy Evan Farrar, third-year Public Affairs major at UCLA and intern at the Brookings Institute, joins the conversation and offers some wisdom about the systemic housing crisis and cancel culture. Plus, Lucy and Annika discuss their weekly favorites and of course end with a Rose, Thorn, and Bud.

What's been going on with the How've You Been crew? Glad you asked; Annika and Lucy catch up after a long week of tough news and coronavirus after-effects. They also both manage to squeeze in a few movie recommendations and Annika describes coming to a shocking revelation about Lucy. What's even better? Lucy's favorite and most loveable friend Jackie Carroll (second-year English major at Villanova University) joins for a delightful chat about thrifting, creativity, success, and everything in between. Plus, Annika and Lucy discuss their Rose, Thorn, Bud, and weekly favorites while Annika offers a bit of (largely unwelcomed) singing.

This week, a conversation about presidential scandals, dating apps, and flirting with the guy who works at the bagel shop reveals that Lucy’s been turbulent and Annika’s been inspired. They talk about it with Willa Goodman, their sister-wife, high school guardian angel, and a current third-year student at Lafayette College. Together, the three of them take a deep dive into body image, dick pics, and music taste among other things. Plus, Lucy and Annika talk about some uncharacteristically practical favorite things and their weekly Rose, Thorn, and Bud.

Hello hello! Welcome to How've You Been? The Podcast! We're Lucy Cotto and Annika Carlson and we’re best friends... who live 2,600 miles apart. To make it through, we regularly check in with one another and there’s a lot to talk about— current events, personal anecdotes, shared grievances, individual opinions, questions, comments, and general concerns— so we often begin our chats with a simple “How’ve you been?”. But living so far apart means we lead pretty separate lives, so we decided to convene each week, introduce some of our favorite people to each other, and share a bit of good old-fashioned conversation always kicking off with our classic “How’ve you been?”
