Yas queen! On this week's episode of PCSS, the ladies discuss the 2004 Bravo series "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and the 2018 Netflix reboot "Queer Eye." Topics of conversation include the evolution of gay representation on TV and in the broader culture, the power of vulnerability, and which Fab Five guy is the eye candy of each series. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll grow - it's the Queer Eye episode you've been waiting for! Note: you will probably only cry from laughter.

Time to talk about one of the four no-no topics - politics! Except for way more fun because it's narrowly focused on the CARTOONS! In this week's episode, Tessa and Becca (mostly Tessa) spill the tea on political cartoons and their long tradition of integrating pop culture. They also wonder how many criminal johns are named John, how far IS Alaska from Russia and whether the Midwest accent is THE accent everybody wants! You won't want to miss this one!

In this week's episode, Becca and Tessa round out Women's History Month by exploring a predominately male phenomenon through the lens of the women who broke the mold. We are talking female killers. Admittedly, not a glass ceiling we are thrilled about breaking but, with men committing 90% of the world's homicides, we can't help but wonder what pushes the few women in the stats over the edge. This ain't your typical true crime podcast! Pop in those headphones and indulge your morbid curiosity!

In this week's episode of PCSS, Becca and Tessa dive deep into the waters of TLC's hit show "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant." That show you watched in high school where after watching a few episodes, the next time you missed your period you thought, "but could I be pregnant and not know it?!?!?!?" even when you might have never had sex. Just us?

We'll cover it all and more: missed periods, infertility, and poops of a lifetime. We can't guarantee you'll still want kids after this, but we hope you'll be in awe of the strength and resiliency of women.
