  • COVID Conversations

    In this episode, you'll get a closer look at what's been going on in the minds of my best friend and I as we discuss what we've experienced after a month of being away from college.  The idea came from Gemae's cultural geography course, where she had to do a project on how the coronavirus has affected her life thus far. Topics range from Zumba classes to the effects the virus has on local businesses with lots of laughs in between.

  • First Bedroom Podcast
    You've heard of bedroom pop, now get ready for bedroom podcasts! This episode was recorded from my phone in my little sister's closet. I figured it's better to create something really rough than nothing at all. Here I talk a little bit about what's going on in quarantine life. From everything seasoning to playlist sharing, you'll hear all about what kind of music I'm listening to, food I'm eating & books I'm reading right now.
