Uh, Excuse Me?

Welcome back for an all-new season! We're kicking off our fourth revolution around the sun with some introspection about our world. With our experts Juan and Carla, we talk digital classism, both in and outside of the pandemic. The rich are getting richer and we're watching it go down on our screens. Give your local restaurants a good Yelp review after listening to this one!

It's our three year anniversary and our thirtieth episode! To celebrate, we go through our top thirty songs of quarantine with special guests: ourselves. We also end the season here before we come back for season four, bigger and better than ever. We want to thank you for always being ready to say Uh, Excuse Me? with us. Until next time.

Ah, yes, nothing more American than a caffeine addiction. If you want a crash course on types of coffee drinks, roasts, and machines, you've come to the right place. Our local coffee connosieur, Gisselle, tells all about the best coffee places to hit in Los Angeles and finally explains what cold brew really is. Bonus: if you've wanted to get into coffee, this might be the episode to get you to do it.

cw: trauma. Ayahuasca is a South American brew that causes the drinker to purge and experience an emotional journey. But it's better if you hear it from our guest, Nathan, in our most intimate episode yet. We talk about his time in Ecuador, meeting shamans, and how psychedelics can lead you to grand revelations about your life. Take a listen to see how science and spiritual practices work together. Stay safe!

As always, we say our guests are experts, but we think this one might actually be certified. We talk about art and learning design in school with the charismatic Ariel! How do you stay authentic to what you care about when you're graded on it? How close is too close to watch people observe your work at a gallery? Is the world ever too on fire to make art? All that and more on an upbeat episode about how to keep institutions from stifling your creativity (as most of our episodes tell you, of course).

Marriage! Except it's platonic and not legally binding (unless you sign a lease, then yikes!). We talk with Neal and Sean about their four years being roommates, friends, and college students. If you've had a roommate before, this episode is for you. If you haven't, well, we still encourage you give this episode a try.

How do you center yourself in a disorienting world? With yoga, of course! And we don't mean that watered-down, gentrified stuff. We talk with our  yoga expert, Aarya, about reconnecting with her culture and childhood to find an exercise that works for her. Perhaps it'll work for you too?

Getting sick or hurt sucks, but it’s part of being human... right? In this episode, we countdown our favorite injuries and ailments with our injury expert, Gaby, and how we’ve made peace with the ways they’ve shaped us. Make sure you don’t stub your toe on furniture while listening!

Ever wondered: who reads these days? Well, we have and it seems we're the only two people who do. We give our top five fun book recs and one meaningful one. Also, we suggest what drink you should have while you read. Bon voyage!
