On our last episode of 2024, we reflect on our tumultuous year—from roommates to ex-lovers to lovers again. We dive deep into our Spotify Wrapped 2024, share the shock of Taylor Swift NOT winning our love, and discuss Hollywood scandals, situationships that are celebrity lookalikes, the great times of the art world, and friend group dynamics... We also analyze our little quirky habits. Did we know we would make it this far? The answer lies within... *spooky music*

Friendsgiving has come and gone and we are sooooooo gr8ful for each other and for YOU our dear listeners. Izzy made her first pumpkin pie with only a slight mishap and Katelyn reflects on getting out of Berlin. Are we thankful for dating apps? Who knows but as we decide, repressed??? Memories of our first tinder experiences resurface. Izzy’s obsession with analog photography had been reignited after a cute color film development workshop while Katelyn sticks to digital with her long awaited flip phone

Are we still on speaking terms, or will it be an hour of pure, awkward silence? Only this episode willl tell. From art exhibitions, and Keanu Reeves, to the ever-present fear of losing precious AirPods, and the unique terror of bumping into situationships—we’re covering it all. Plus, we reflect on our tomfoolery from the previous episode. What can we saaay? We’re just a couple of pranksters! Ha!!!!

This was a tough episode to record, but it's time we finally address why we took a break. We'll dive into whether we can move forward and make things work during this challenging time.

Welcome back to another episode of the Pop Art Podcast. Episode 18? 19? We have no idea, counting is not our forte. Tbh not sure if either of us are okay this week as we get into nightmares, phobias, and supressed memories of Clockwork Orange and of being bullied!! But fear not Izzy's dad is here with his Ken moment to save the day. On a more exciting note, Izzy is quite chuffed with herself for finally asking someone out irl and Katelyn has a date coming up. Are you looking for a cute date spot? Check out the free nights at the KW, Izzy highly recommends.

It’s officially October and Katelyn and Izzy are schemeing up plans for Halloween in Berlin. Turns out we have different priorities when it comes to Halloween costumes. A recent work trip has us day dreaming of getting out of town but where to?! Katelyn finds out what a cheesehead is, and we chat about how we’ve changed over the years (from the perspective of men) and a recap of a fun exhibition.

Picture this: You wake up next to your situationship, and as the morning unfolds, they start reflecting on a strange dream they had. Do you (a) actively listen, or (b) zone out? Is discussing dreams with others a boring topic? Some would say so.. We get into the deets.

Next, Izzy faces a challenge: Does she really know Irish slang? Having had Irish roommates, you'd think it would be a breeze. And finally... have her prayers been answered?! A fellow Wisconsinite in Berlin? What are the odds?!?

Btw Katelyn has some mysterious symmetrical bruises so if there are any experts out there.. Could it be sepsis? Blood clotting problems? Only time will tell… or maybe Google.

Do YOU know what a mini fridge? Yeah, but like, do you? On this episode we marvel at the fact we’ve made it this far!! We tried our hand at keeping this episode as unedited as possible. It’s been a busy week so we got a lot to catch up on. Izzy retells her stressful first few days of the week while Katelyn looks forward to new routines brought on by a new job. Rosie Boots makes her official debut and wins a (participation) AWARD !! One to make Katelyn jealous jk unless..? Katelyn diagnoses herself with a new hatred, Izzy tries to have a wholesome moment about a beloved book from Highschool, but Katelyn’s head is in the gutter. Lastly we discover we have very different notions of sizes of fridge but Izzy scored a free one from the Berlin street gods.
