In this episode, we sit down with Zoe and Hannah, who are writers, artists, and the creative duo behind Poking Around Podcast. You might recognize them as the two with typewriters in Central Park, writing custom poems for strangers on the spot. That’s actually how we met them, and we couldn’t wait to dive deeper into their world.

We talk about what it’s like to write poems for others in real time, the wildest prompts they’ve received, how they became writers, and what it feels like to create something deeply personal and then hand it off, never to see it again. We also get into a thoughtful discussion about AI in the creative space and what it means for artists today.

This conversation left us feeling inspired and grateful for human creativity. We hope you love it as much as we did.

In this episode, we’re playing a game of Dealbreaker. We’re reading through a bunch of relationship scenarios and deciding whether each one is a red flag or something we could look past. From petty habits to major icks, we’re giving our honest takes and a few hot ones too. 

Play along with us! Which one of these would be a dealbreaker for you?

This episode started with a simple idea: share the best advice people have ever received from their therapists. But as we read each one, it led us down some deeper, unexpected paths, like how much we subconsciously rely on others to meet expectations they never agreed to, how the human brain wasn’t designed for the chaos of modern life, and how parasocial relationships and jealousy play out online.

If you're into introspective conversations, thoughtful tangents, and therapist-level wisdom, this one’s for you.

We also share an important update about the podcast schedule for the foreseeable future.

In this episode, Rebecca & Kelee dive into the world of pop culture and entertainment, sharing their thoughts on the music industry, celebrity careers, and creative ambitions. They chat about how fans assume every artist writes their own songs and obsess over who the lyrics are about, even when the artist had no part in writing them. Kelee also shares her dream of directing a movie, leading to a discussion on how not everyone in entertainment is great at everything (and why that’s okay). Plus, they weigh in on what Khloé Kardashian should do with her podcast.

A fun, casual conversation for anyone who loves pop culture, creative ambition, and a little industry tea!
