  • 028: Gaslighting

    Gaslighter, denier. Doin' anything to get your ass farther…YOU GUYS it’s time to talk about gaslighting!!! Audrey and Elena delve deep into the psychology of the phenomenon from it’s theatrical origins to the 2020 election. Racial, political, interpersonal, romantic gaslighting…they’re all here, and they’re all absolutely horrifying. Come for the manipulation, stay for the poteen and poutine. Crank up The Chicks and take a couple swigs of Fireball.

  • 027: Covert Affairs

    Oh hi, didn’t see you there. Welcome to episode 027, in which we discuss…covert affairs. You know the ones. Real secret-like things. From Columbian female spies, to scandals in the British Monarchy, to women that just want to dance…is that a crime? (no, Britney, it’s not) Grab a Vesper martini (shaken, not stirred) and join Elena and Audrey for an Arby’s sandwich (Arby’s Sauce on the top, Horsey Sauce on the bottom).

  • 025: Nebuchadnezzar? I Hardly Know ‘er!

    FAKE NEWS ALERT

    This week’s episode is a dive into the he said she said side of history, as Audrey gives us equal evidence (or lack thereof) that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon did (not?) exist.  We dig into archeological findings, ancient historian’s accounts and the Bible to learn more about King Nebuchadnezzar and the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Plus- Elena’s personal share offers a reflection on how we are all, in our own way, shepherds of history.

     Come for the religion, stay for the hot Biblical women.  We’re tackling a wonder of the ancient world on If These Walls…

  • 024: Elma is in the Well

    Who put Elma in the Well? A. Burr and A. Ham are on the case. Spoiler alert: this first murder trial of our brand new nation does not paint them in the best light. Gulielma’s young life was taken from her in the winter of 1799, and you can to this day see the well in which her body was found…in a Swedish clothing store in the fancy shopping mecca of SoHo, Manhattan . Come for the Hamilton references, stay for the fact that JESUS CHRIST THIS YOUNG WOMAN DESERVED JUSTICE NOT A CIRCUS. Also in this episode: lucky pennies, kippers, orange curd, and a new president.

  • 021: Disney's Haunted Mansion

    Here lies veiny Lainie. She lifted some weights and they caused too much pain-y.
    Here lies Audrey of House Rush: her potty mouth was finally flushed.


    This week Elena takes us to Disney’s Haunted Mansion, ya’ll! Welcome, Happy Haunts! Learn about the construction of the Mansion, it’s effect on popular culture, and some of the tiny little surprises you might miss if you’re like Audrey and cover your eyes with your hands. We’ll also talk about the legacy of Imagineer Yale Gracey, and his very tragic and still unsolved murder in the Pacific Palisades. PLUS a voting PSA from our resident Deep Voice AND fun with anxiety stones!

  • 020: This Is Not a Haunted House

    Scare-chasers beware: some haunts will give you more bang than you bargained for. This week on If These Walls... Audrey walks us through a 40-page waiver and recommends we take a hard pass on the most extreme "Haunted House" in America.  If torture isn't your cup of tea: be forewarned. But do join us for baked goods and bridal showers at the top- because we all deserve a present, dagnabbit!
