Welcome to Episode 4 of Pizza Rainbow!, where real teens talk about real teen issues…real teens being two incredibly immature and emotionally stunted women in their mid-30s, and real teen issues being stuff like Voting Guilt Trips, Mansplaining vs. Feminism, Johnny Weir’s Instagram, candle reviews on YouTube, how much Amber hates The Hold Steady and Flogging Molly, NaNoWriMo, and why Jen feels that the term “meat curtains” doesn’t make any logical sense (trust us: You’re gonna wanna stick around to the very end for this).

Welcome to Episode 3 of Pizza Rainbow! In this episode, Jen and I talk a lot about being the training-bra of girlfriends, Renee’s Zellweger’s new face (yeah…we recorded this thing a month ago), The Brady Bunch Hour, buying shoes at Kohls (sponsor our podcast, Kohls!), frenemies, finding middle ground with your therapist, learning about sex ed when you’re a total dork, having a sexual experience to Kenny G’s ‘Songbird’, the quandary of open relationships, and getting Nope’d on Tinder.

I would cuddle you so hard t-shirt

Welcome to Pizza Rainbow, Episode 2! In this episode, Jen Paulson and Amber L. Carter talk a lot about their love of documentaries, the power of Night Moves, aaand waiting until marriage to do the hibbity-jibbity. They also engage in an experiment called The Tinder Minute, which funnily enough, goes against all the rules of what you should and should not do when it comes to recording a podcast!

Shiz we talked about in this episode:

Welcome to the very first episode of Pizza Rainbow! On this episode, recorded Oct. 14th, we talk about our favorite new Fall shows, news of beloved childhood remakes, reality TV stars going to jail, and all the things that person could possibly do wrong if that person was a man trying to date a woman. We had such a great time on this episode that we knocked it out of the park when it came to time, but decided that we’d leave it to you, the listener, when it came to whether you wanted to break it down into snack-sized pieces or just devour the whole thing in one sitting.

Do what you feel like! We promise not to judge you.

(At least, not on that)

This episode:

Amber L. Carter is a writer, long-time serial blogger, podcaster, and producer. After dwelling in the Northwoods of WI for the past two years, she’s delighted to be back in Minneapolis, where she intends to destroy the lives of those who have wronged her in the past while also pursuing a fulfilling and worthwhile career in the creative arts. Amber enjoys infinity scarves, pumpkin spice lattes, Uggs, and sword fights.

Just kidding. She only likes sword fights.

Jen Paulson is a young professional, writer and sometimes stand-up comic who lives in beautiful Minneapolis, Minnesota. She loves unicorns, rainbows and Heggies Pizza (preferably the Sausage and Pepperoni, if you must know). Inevitably, she will always embarrass herself when meeting someone she admires. Hold on to your AARP cards, guys!
