  • The Birds, the Bees and Everything Between
    The conversation you want, but can't bear to talk about with your parents. Join @kattivokat and I as we explore the various topics around sex and the how our backgrounds affected the way we viewed it growing up. This is definitely a coming of age discussion that I felt I was so lucky to have had with my friend and believe that it will resonate well with many young people in our generation. From the failures in sex education to modern views on stereotyping, we go into a sort of "not so average" analysis of why we think the way do about sex.  Want more?

  • First but not the last
    There's got to be a first for everything, and dating is no different. My friend, Michael Bagdasarian and I discuss the complexities and tragedies of first dates. We cover topics ranging from where to go to our best and worst first date experiences.  Perhaps there is something to be said about the younger generations dating expectations, but for that you'll have to give it a listen.
