Trashedlight

How lucky are you, dear listener, to be privy to Colleen's (very) slowly improving editing skills! Also included in this ~deluxe~ package are: rants about addiction, science, math, and inconceivable body positioning. Thanks to freesound.org for furnishing our newly added "Science with Rebecca" sound effect! Unfortunately trumpet is not an instrument either of our lovely and multi-talented hosts play well enough to record this one live.

In this episode you will find (of all things)...some positives about Twilight??? But don't worry, we also talk about a ton of negatives in order to stay on brand.

Before your very ears, Rebecca and Colleen will pull off the magic trick of connecting Twilight, Lord of the Rings, Taylor Swift, Sound of Music, and Gone With the Wind, and all without ruining all these other things by association with Twilight!*

In this episode, Colleen and Rebecca really get to dive into their passions--Rebecca talks science, and Colleen screams for almost 5 minutes straight about beauty expectations and gender roles imposed on women by the patriarchy. Please hit us up with any vampire anatomy knowledge you may be able to provide.

We talk in circles about abuse, teenage girls, abuse, teenage girls...thanks for sticking with us through these 30 minutes of sad personal stories and general frustration at Stephanie Meyer!

This episode is probably half anecdotes of Colleen's erstwhile high school romance and Irish family (not connected), so prepare accordingly. If you are a man who is not a male dog, we apologize for ostracizing you but we hope you know it's for a good cause (and if you're a dog listener, please let us know who you are that's so cute!). If you ever feel unsafe while you're walking around, there are some smartphone apps like Aspire that you can use to call for help without looking like you're calling 911 and drawing more attention to yourself. Please be safe because the world is terrible!

Welcome to the most qualified guest interview Trashedlight will probably ever have (and a guest appearance from another familiar if not as qualified voice). Rebecca and Colleen also ponder Shakespeare and lament in Ms. Meyers' Dickens-like ability to use so many words and yet say nothing at all...

Today we talk about three equally important societal issues: sexism, racism, and beaches (featuring Jess). Another big thank you to Jess for volunteering her time as a beach expert and having a really cute dog!

Rebecca lovingly renames one of our main characters "D**kwad McAngst Machine" and our audience gets a true look into the nerdy past (and present) of both hosts. Also included is some tips for Mr. Banner on how to be a better teacher and an ~art opportunity~ for our fearless listeners!

Rebecca and Colleen fantasize about what it would be like to be asked by three boys in the same day to the same dance...just kidding they all sound toxic and horrible! Listen to find out why! We also dabble in the psyche of teenage girls and the ways that we socialize boys and girls differently. I promise that it's still funny.
