Nicheties

On this weeks episode non-parents Maya and Angela tell you how to raise your kids!!!! The two Nicheties hosts explore how and why we got to this weird place in time where we call infants "strong little men" or "sweet little girls". 

Tune in to find out what Jesus did for a living, who's on the improv scene, who's a magician, and why it is creepy to attribute gender to anyone under the age of 13. 

Accidentally continuing on the topic of childhood toys, Maya and Angela talk about American Girl Dolls in this episode. And weeble wobbles, and beanie babies, and cabbage patch dolls...just lots of kids toys. Maya has to quickly work through her rich guilt to tackle the issue behind the doll, classism (and maybe white savior -ism?). Angela admits to the fear of having a blaccent (spoiler: they don't have a blaccent) just in time for Maya to avoid doing a blaccent while reading an excerpt from Meet Addy (the first Black American Girl doll). 

So you’ve made it to episode 12, but I bet you’re still wondering “Who are these people?” and "How did they get here?". Lucky for you this week we did a get to know me episode where Maya and Angela tell you all about their childhoods. Tune in to find out who was of the receiving end of Maya’s first punch, and Angela’s first kiss. 

We missed you Shiddies! Welcome back to this week's episode where Maya outs Angela as being into bears (the gay kind or the animal kind?) and we discuss how weddings are just different generations of brides. You got your baby bride (flower girl), could be brides (bridesmaids), soonest bride (bouquet toss winner), actual bride (sacrifice), and washed up bride (mothers in law).

Wedding advice blogs be like, “weddings are expensive :( to save money, just exploit your friends and family!”

But Nicheties is like, "tell brides no as often as possible."

We made it to episode 10!!!!! To celebrate their 10th episode Maya and Angela discuss the thing they hate the most; weddings! 

Things start out tame as Maya reads Angela some podcast statistics, but stick around because things will heat up and the hosts return to their original format. First, Maya takes us on a trip around the globe and teaches us about different wedding traditions and then Angela takes over to give us the rundown on what it takes to be a part of a couples big day. 

The conclusion? We can't keep letting married people get away with this!!

Ever wondered how an ADD brain works? This week Maya talks about words (shocker) and how children learn to speak, connecting their creation of made-up, nonce words, to phobia naming. With a few detours to talk about Lesbian hell (run by Lesbifer) and concise opinions on The Office, you'll find out why Angela is a doppelganger for swaggy Liam Payne. 

Gender isn't real, so why can't Maya let go of hers? This week Angela identifies as a witch that crashed into a tree and Miss Maya identifies as a big round woman that just wants to give you a hug.  

This episode was blessed by the gender neutral ghost of Maya Angelou. 

Buckle up, buckaroo, we've got a great episode for you this week! Maya realizes the root of all her issues within the first 10 minutes (spoiler: it has to do with religious trauma) and Angela shares their latest medical discovery (spoiler: it's not crabs). 

Woman to woman. Bitch to bitch. Cohost to cohost, we think you'll love this episode. Stay tuned at the end to answer the Spotify poll question too!

Hold on to your pants because this weeks content will get both Maya and Angela excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Maya makes some corrections to the lies she told about men last week, and Angela sniffles their way through a few of their favorite hoaxes. Somewhere along the way the hosts realize that presidents aren't smart, grunge music isn't for them, and Jesus was a Jew.

This week Maya and Angela have a special surprise for you all! A format change!!

Instead of each host preparing a topic for every episode they will take turns researching and presenting niche topics and discussion questions. 

This week Maya asks the hard question of is cancel culture just boundaries for celebrities? Both hosts work together to name some celebrities they think would smell bad; spoiler, they're all men. Maya and Angela hypothesize on the evolution of Nick Cannon from the Black Ryan Seacrest to the next Steve Harvey (the turban would have a mustache too).
