  • Episode 6 - Misogyny (pt. 1)

    In this episode, we dive into the incredibly complex topic known as misogyny. This part includes me talking to my friends, Maggie and Kirsten, about things like the manosphere, internalized misogyny, how patriarchy effects them, and much more. If you like think pieces, you'll enjoy this one. Hope you enjoy!










    (don't ask when part 2 is dropping)

  • ATD #13 - Energy and Aura

    Today, I talk about energies and aura. It's definitely not similar to anything else I've talked about and there's no parallels between other episodes. It's not super intelligent, but it absolutely is worth listening to if you want something entertaining. Hope you enjoy!

  • Episode 5 - Rizz, Sex, and the Devaluation of Romance

    In this episode, we explore the topic of romance and try to answer the question of whether or not romance has been devalued. I'd give it a listen if you wanna hear some intelligent takes with a bit of humor. Give us your thoughts in the comments!


    The Thinking Lounge returns once more! AND WITH A GOOD EPISODE TODAY! There's editing, interviews, funny bits, and so much more! This is the first of many high quality episodes soon to come (please don't hold me to that). But yeah, I'm back.

  • ATD #11 - Emptiness

    The Thinking Lounge is back for 2025!!! As a nice start to the year, I decided to talk about emptiness today. This episode is a little bit deeper than the others, so there is that. But, aside from that, it's pretty normal. Hope you enjoy!

  • ATD #10 - Hindsight

    With the year coming to a close, I thought it was only right to talk about hindsight. I touch on the importance of reflection, moving beyond the past, and other things like that. It's pretty interesting, so I'd give it a listen. Enjoy!


    Thank you all for an amazing year! Here's to another year of The Thinking Lounge!

  • ATD #9 - Love and Hate

    I decide to tackle love and hate today. This is a much longer episode than usual, so there's a lot of yapping in this. Give it a listen 'cuz it's pretty awesome. I get very nuanced and talk about the various forms of love and how hate isn't real. Enjoy!
