This week, our hosts dive into the rabbit hole of cultural appropriation versus cultural appreciation. Where are the dividing lines when one appreciates a culture and when one appropriates a culture for personal gain? Is it black and white or is it greyscale when it comes to intent and impact of cultural usage? Hair, food, and other realms are explored with our galivanting trio.

Is water wet? Can chocolate be a vegetable? Important questions are dissected and quarrels bloom in our newest episode of Strawberry Balley. Join our hosts as they stand their ground on their beliefs as their special guest decides who's prose and gusto reigns supreme.

Disclaimer: The hosts are assigned stances to take during each debate whether they support a side or not. They take time in between in each round to reflect and critically think about their thoughts around the debate questions.

Trigger Warning: Baby Abandonment, Blood, and Death.

On this week's episode of Strawberry Balley, our trio of ladies discuss the events surrounding Alexee Trevizo. Earlier this year, Alexee Trevizo came into Artesia General Hospital presenting lower back pain.

You know what's grinding the gears of Strawberry Balley? Pet Peeves! On our newest episode of Strawberry Balley, our hosts engage in all things that make them tick, ick, and wonder why people do the things they do. People in traffic, the lack of common sense, and other questionable oddities pique our hosts' interest as they dive deep into the whacky enigma that plagues our everyday lives.

Our hosts celebrate the 4th of July by conversing, critiquing, and reflecting on America the great, not-so-great, and gray areas in between.
