Rah-rah-Rasputin! Russia's greatest love machine! Of course, we all know the song, but few know as much about the man himself as writer, author, and comedian Sara Benincasa. Fortunately, she shares her wisdom about what made Rasputin so appealing, so terrifying, and why we still talk about him today. Plus, thoughts and feelings about crystals! Relationships! And a whole lot more. You can follow Sara on Twitter and Instagram. And you can and should buy all of her books. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 33 - Rasputin with Sara Benincasa

Nobody Cares is a podcast hosted by writer and person Anne T. Donahue (who totally cares, by the way). Each week, Anne is joined by a guest who shares something they're passionate about despite no one else feeling the same, and the two go down the rabbit hole of why, how, whom, and many other specifics. No topic is too small, too big, or too trivial, and by the end of their half-hour chat, it's safe to assume that regardless of how you felt going into it, you'll suddenly find yourself caring too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For the season finale of Nobody Cares (Except For Me), Anne is joined by Sage Paul, fashion designer and founder of Indigenous Fashion Week. What do they talk about? Everything. (Literally everything.) Figure skating. The Hunger Games. Childhood. All of it! It's the most appropriate end to an incredible season, and not just because it took them six full months to schedule a date to hang out and chat. (It did. It really did. They're busy!) You can follow Sage on Instagram and Twitter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Do you like podcasts? Terrific! Because you're listening to one. Also, because Arkells' Max Kerman could talk about how much he loves them forever, and certainly tries to when Anne's not interrupting him to talk about how she loves them even more. Podcasts! Certainly something that exists. You can follow Max and the Arkells on Instagram and on Twitter.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 32 - Podcasts with Max Kerman

You know what they say: the uglier the better -- and ironically, we're talking about beauty products! Join writers, editors, and hosts of the Breaking Beauty podcast Jill Dunn and Carlene Higgins as they fill Anne in on their favourite go-tos with the most questionable packaging. (And perhaps unsurprisingly, Anne would buy all of them based on the aesthetic alone.) Subscribe to the Breaking Beauty podcast here. Also, if you need a visual of the ugly packaging (yet still remarkable products) take a look!  9.

DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING? This is a great question independently, but it is even better when writer, comedian, DJ, and co-creator of Toronto's Boosie Fade Jordan Sowunmi uses it in conversation with Anne about his love of WWF. Join them as they discuss The Rock, Steve Austin, the merits of wrestling and also the downfalls. Plus, obviously (very obviously) much, much more. IT DOESN'T MATTER. Just kidding, it does. You can follow Jordan on Twitter and Instagram.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
