  • Introducing: Add to Cart

    Today we're handing our feed over to one of our favorite shows, Add To Cart! Hosts Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what’s worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what’s not. 

    In this episode, Kulap shares a spooky Christmas Eve tale with Su, which results in her learning a very important lesson about limits and self-care. Meanwhile, Su is worshiping at the altar of a new king. Listen to more Add to Cart, wherever you get your podcasts or go to https://lemonada.lnk.to/atcfd for more info.

  • Dylan Arnold

    Dylan Arnold (Oppenheimer, YOU) is in the guest seat this week, sharing about his latest project opposite Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram, “Lady in the Lake”. But first, he recalls the impact “Twilight” had on his self esteem as a middle school boy sans a cut jaw and six pack. He recalls his early passion for theater, and why working with Christopher Nolan was like attending 100 million dollar film school. And, of course, we get into YOU, what it was like working opposite Victoria Pedretti, and Dylan’s feelings on how the whole thing should end.

  • Host AMA: Love

    Our second themed-AMA of the season is all about LOVE. The hosts tackle your questions on how to get over heartbreak, recognize “the one”, reconcile religious differences, and keep things playful. They weave their non-expert (repeat: totally subjective, possibly unhelpful!) opinions with personal stories that will make you laugh, and (if you’re a Nava or a Sophie) possibly tear up.
