Uh, Excuse Me?

We answer your questions, give you exceptional advice, and comment on your juiciest confessions. This episode will really make you say the title of our show.

Ever thought of doing the arts? Or more specifically voice acting? Whether you answered yes or no, this episode is for you. This week on the mic is Rachel, a renowned voice actor in the fanmade Total Drama Island Reunion hemisphere. She talks about trends, techniques, and... how the pandemic has made her record in a closet? Listen on and maybe we’ll hear you in a DreamWorks movie next!

In the vein of true scientists, we put The New York Times "36 Questions That Lead to Love" to the test. No guests, just two big city kids with lots of opinions.

We had our friend B on this episode to talk about her research on autism, the inaccessibility of getting a diagnosis, and racial disparities in testing for neurodivergence. Plus, we talk about ADHDtok and how scarily accurate it can be. Note: We didn't get a chance to mention it in the episode, but the preferred terminology backed by autistic people for April is Autism Acceptance Month instead of awareness. This puts the onus of education and destigmatization on allistic people so we can have meaningful dialogue about building support systems for neurodivergent people. Hopefully, this episode is a good jumping off point for you to do your own research! P.S. - Check our Instagram @uhexcusemepod to see a list of autistic people to follow.

Hopefully, we'll convince you to get a new hobby after this episode. We talked to triple-threat Celeste about how she got into snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding and what she thinks are the appeal of each sport. Plus, we go into the pros and cons of each and rank how accessible they are for beginners. Surf's up?

For once, we actually have an expert on the show. This week we're talking communication and... the lack thereof? We invited Maria to talk casual sex, romance, and relationships, plus to give us textual citations on how we can heal from people who don't have our best interests at heart. Maybe we should file this episode under psychology?

Long time friend of the pod, Miranda, finally comes by to tell us big city kids what it's like to grow up in a small town. She chronicles how everyone knows everyone in El Centro, how it's different from the city, and how being back home after college has made her love her hometown a little more. Tune in this week to see if you should relocate to El Centro! We might.

That’s right! We are forcing you to hear about books again. We’re back for another episode of our books and bevs series where we give you our recs for the best books we’ve read recently. And no, we don’t recommend every book we’ve read, so you know these are going to be good. Safe travels! 

This week we’re talking big cities! We bring back a fan (see: our) favorite to talk about her move from the City of Angels to the Big Apple. Join us as Analisa tells all about cold weather, travel time, and... fresh produce? If you’ve ever thought about moving to New York City or just want to hear about different snow footwear, this is the episode for you!

cw: suicide mention, body image We're talking all about K-Pop with our connoisseur, Kristin. Hear about the machine that makes all the perfectly synchronized artists and how their talent is blowing up so quickly. Enough to make you go cross-country just to see them live. Bonus: we give you the best artists to get you started on your K-Pop journey.
