  • WOWP #11: "Art Museum Piece"

    WE'RE DONE WITH SEASON 1! Alana & Kimberly swap quarantine makeup tips, flex their art history knowledge, and begin investigating just how diverse Disney's writing and creative teams are (spoiler alert - they are not at all). Tune in on Sunday for the start of Season 2!


    Here's the article Alana is reading out loud - "The Time I Wrote a Sitcom for Disney" by Susan Sherman: https://lithub.com/the-time-i-wrote-a-sitcom-for-disney/


    And here's the Wikipedia article about the first Susan Sherman - radical poet and longtime television producer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Sherman

  • WOWP #10: "Alex's Spring Fling" & "Quinceañera"

    Alana & Kimberly watch Season 1, Episodes 19 & 20 of "Wizards of Waverly Place! We talk cute lil' puppies, plant the seed for our new (potential) dating podcast, and absolutely destroy Disney's portrayal of non-white traditions and culture.
