This week’s episode is historic and important for so many reasons! We got the legendary Squad chat together for the first time EVER. What else could bring us together like the combined feminine angst of Taylor Swift’s Red album and Adele’s new 30? We deep dive into our reactions to these two albums, and compare them too. What we’re *not* going to do is pit two powerhouse women against each other, but we talk about what parts of the albums make us feel seen and which parts leave us just…feeling.
Let us know what *you* thought* about Red and 30 over on Instagram @ohtellmemorepod, which is also where you can find Cait (@caitanna) and Leemah (@leemahperu). We loved recording this conversation with them, and we hope you love it too!
Last week, Sara and Ty had the pleasure of being in the guest seat over at @thebeardswatch with @jrolnation , @justduvall, and @jeebs1988 . We talked about a lot of our favorite pop culture majors, and Ty definitely got to fill her tank on reality TV discussions. @justduvall had some classic Oh Tell Me More spicy takes - you’ll have to go give it a listen to find out what it was!

We packed this whole hour full of laughs, hot takes, and insights. What movies are *you* excited to see in the next month or two? Let us know over on Instagram!

Welcome back to the Oh Tell Me More Podcast! We have missed you! In May, Netflix came out with a documentary series called High on the Hog, which explores how African cuisine has shaped US food culture. We had our friend Mary Beth back on the podcast to talk about our thoughts from this four-episode series. Of course, this launched us into talking about lots of other things as well. We’ve linked some resources below, but be sure to follow us on Instagram to catch other resources we’ll be sharing in the coming weeks. Thanks for tuning in!

What do you use to give your life structure? Are you someone who thrives on rules and principles? Or do you prefer to be a free spirit? Even someone who despises rules (looking at Ty) still has principles they abide by. This week, Sara and Ty are having a coffee chat about all the different kinds of House Rules we’ve made for ourselves. Not only that, but every House Rule should have some exceptions, so we dive into the nuance of that as well. If you don’t already follow us on Instagram, what are you doing? Hop over to @ohtellmemorepod to let us know what YOUR house rules are!
Did you miss us? Well we’re back with another WE TELL YOU! This is our favorite episode to do, where we share different gems we’ve found on the pop culture landscape over the last month. We talk about the Olympics, and the ongoing pandemic, and different things that are putting life into our mortal bodies. Check below for links of things we reference

This week, we’re doing things a little differently. As you may know, June 19th is a holiday for many Black Americans known as Juneteenth, which is a celebration of when the news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 (yes, TWO YEARS after it had been signed!). Because it is a holiday that is all about liberation and Black joy, Sara sat this episode out and let Ty, Kathleen, and Ashia take us on a whole journey. We hope you enjoy learning about Kathleen and Ashia’s enneagram numbers, their pop culture majors, and all their thoughts about Juneteenth.

We’re closing out AAPI Heritage Month by talking to our friend Abigail Jackson, a Filipino-White web designer who graciously shares the story of how she received her batok (a traditional Filipino tattoo). She also shares her pop culture majors and thoughts about being an enneagram 4. We LOVED this conversation about all the different layers that make up a person, and hope it will inspire you to think about the different layers that make you YOU also.
