Spiraling: The Ice Tea Aftershow

In this thrilling bonus episode, Meghan interviews a GOLD MEDAL winning skater: NEDA! They tell us all about what it takes to be a champion adult skater with an amazing music cut and gorgeous costume, and what it's REALLY like at the top of a podium. 

In this episode, which is actually mostly just Meghan talking about food, we also touch upon the important topics that people aren't talking about: many skaters are surprisingly petite, Canada is cold, and there should be a Peanuts themed Met Gala.

Please enjoy this Christopher Nolan-level meta-layered time travel spectacular about two podcasters commentating on Skate America and Skate Canada 2023 a month after the fact and then posting the episode like 3 months after that! Relish the dramatic irony of knowing everything that has happened since, and feel free to point and laugh at our November Selves' ignorance if it enhances your listening experience (we think it will!)

In this episode, Meghan and Neda do a deep dive into the honorable mentions of the French and English Grand Prix events, and also try to figure out if those pixel doll dress up games from 2001 are still around. Featuring robot boyfriend media, slutty global warming, and God. 

In this bonus episode, Meghan tells Neda about Nathan Chen's appearance on Celebrity Family Feud and invites Neda to play along with some truly insane questions. Featuring: the type of humor that honestly wasn't even ok in the 70s, the MCU somehow, and everyone's favorite contemporary warhorse "To Build A Home (With A Sex Room In It)".

In the final bonus episode of the off-season, Meghan and Neda look back at all the gossip--good, bad, AND ugly, from this summer in skating land. Featuring: Elvis, haircuts, shitposting, and cigarettes for cats.

What's that under your seat? It's a bonus episode! Meghan and Neda reprise their original concept* of telling each other about their Favorite Things of late! TV shows, cookies, music, more TV shows--it's all here folks! We can't give everyone a car but if you open your mouth maybe Neda can throw you a cranberry cookie really far.

**pls don't sue us Oprah it's satire
