  • FCKN 2020 with Ailis DeTommaso, Jenna Lopez and Nadia Tavella
    On the season finale of Real FCKN Talk, Brenna talks (once again) with producer, editor and best friend Ailis DeTommaso about all the ways 2020 fcked us up and fcked us over.  However, with special guests Jenna Lopez and Nadia Tavella, the girls also uncover what this dumpster fire year has taught us about the most important thing in life...ourselves.  We would be amiss not to shed light on all the ways 2020 brought out the best in us, even if it meant bringing out the worst first for that to be possible.  2020 will forever be remembered for the Covid Pandemic, for the ongoing fight against Racial Injustice,  for the monumental shift in presidency, and sadly, the lives lost.  But 2020 will also be remembered as the year superheroes walked the earth- disguised as doctors, nurses, teachers, delivery men/women and all the workers who did all they could to maintain the livelihood of people in their community.  2020 is the year we learned never to take a hug from friend or a smile from a stranger for granted. 2020 is the year we revealed what was most important in life. 
    But 2021 is the year we take our FCKN lives back.  
    See you next year FCKERS, and thank you all for listening.

  • This too shall FCKN pass with Adam D'aleo

    This week on RFT Brenna sits down with life long friend and fellow Long Islander Adam D’aleo. Although the two dream of a world where coming out as a certain sexuality is no longer necessary, Adam discusses his own journey in coming into his own and learning to not only accept himself, but love himself. While Adam is “living his best life”, he doesn’t forget his hardships but uses them to view the world around him with love, understanding and ultimately acceptance - while binge watching the latest season of The Real Housewives of course.
