February 25, 2025 E74 Book Club 7: The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
Dear White People,
Though it may burden you, You simply must understand...

To wrap up Black History Month, We (Renee & Jem) invite you to listen in on one of our more personal conversations surrounding Black Identity and the interrelationship of black & whiteness, motivated by the cultural essay of the Late James Baldwin.

Profound beyond his years, Baldwin touches on a undeniable truth of how identity shapes American Society that, especially after the recent election, remains relevant even 70+ years later.

To our Black Listeners, We See You. To everyone Else... Be open... and Enjoy.

January 14, 2025 E73 Book Club 6: I Used To Like You Until... By Kat Timpf

Even more surprising when the book that sets you on this path... is on the NYT Best Sellers list?!

Tune In for our very first HATE Review, where we brake down the pros and mostly cons of reading this book. *Spoiler Alert* We dont recommend this book.

December 18, 2024 E70 The 5 Surprisingly Subtle Traits Of Problematic Partners
With almost 30 YEARS of online dating behind us we all collectively (should) know how to identify and how to avoid the most toxic and crazy people in the space.

The f*ckboi... the feminist man... the material girl... our standards pretty much filter them out.

However there is an interesting subset of individuals that have a more subtle brand of toxicity that leads to relational dysfunction that your commit bias will have you dealing with far longer than you'd realize.

On Today's episode, Jem & Renee expand on the various archetypes of people that present themselves as ideal partners, but are probably people you'd be qise to avoid the moment you realize you met them.
