We managed to sit down with Luna in between her trips around the country doing stand-up to talk about her menstrual journey - and what a journey it has been. She tells us about growing up in Louisiana (and the unusual myth about periods there), her experience with PCOS, and introduces us to the term "down to clown." Make sure to clench those kegels during this ep, you might lose your tampon from laughing...

The hosts of "Sssh Periods" and grand prize winners of NPR's student podcast competition sat down (remotely) with your hosts to remind us what it was like to be in middle school. All the awkward memories flooded back in (like hiding your big ol' pad in your Lisa Frank trapper keeper on the way to the bathroom), but they also gave us a lot of hope. Go yell "period" from a rooftop and break down some taboos with us and these incredible bleeders.

Your blosts did their research and found that there are multiple ways you can use your own menstrual blood, and they range from sciency, to witchy, to... a little gross. Come for the pro-tips on how to utilize the flow you've been letting go – and stay for the surprise song. Pop in a cup and catch this episode!

You may have noticed our Instagram account is filled with sometimes beautiful, but more often than not hilarious, art inspired by periods (and if you don't follow us on IG, like, what are you waiting for?). Two of our favorite artists – Annie Wong and Crystal Ro – sat down with us to talk about their process, their periods, and we even get an exclusive excerpt from a teenage diary. Splash some menstrual blood on a canvas and listen in!

We're back with Dr. Kate White, and we jump right in talking about menopause, how stress affects your period, strange things pulled out of vaginas, and what the deal is when your period comes out in one long sheet (yeah, that's a real thing and Dr. Kate even sent us a pic...). Most importantly, we discuss how to find the right gyno for you, and it's so simple and SO IMPORTANT. Burn all the speculums and press play!

Two Megs. Two Kates. One pod. This week we bring you part one of our interview with the kind, patient, and wonderful Dr. Katharine White (Dr. Kate to us). And blisteners, you are going to learn so much and occasionally have your mind blown. In this episode, we cover early periods, unpleasant doctor visits, ecto-prego, and WHY IT'S BROWN. So throw your feet in some stirrups, scoot your butt down, and listen now.

Maybe you didn't know that eating disorders can affect menstruation... or maybe you know it all too well. This week, we learn about amenorrhea (the abnormal absence of a period) with health writer, podcaster, and bad ass human Michelle Konstantinovsky. She tells us about her experience with losing her period, disordered eating, and how to be an expert of your own damn body. Grab a snack (no judgment) and hit play.
