Well, Here We Are episodes

  • Living in a Post-Fenty Beauty World

    In 2017, Robyn Rihanna Fenty (aka Rihanna, aka Bad Girl Riri) launched Fenty Beauty with 40 diverse shades of foundation. The launch of Fenty Beauty, and the 40 shades of foundation specifically, are often pointed to by the beauty industry as game changers for diversity/representation in the beauty space. In this episode, Hannah & Suzanne (and their 3-ish things) examine the makeup landscape in a post-Fenty Beauty world. What has changed since 2017, what has remained the same, and where should the beauty industry go next?

  • We're Trash! (Or, Trash Movie Favorites)

    How do you define a trash movie favorite? Is it a movie so bad it's good? Is it a movie  the world collectively loathes but you have an ironic love of? Or, is it simply a moving starring Nicolas Cage?

      Hannah & Suzanne get into all that and share their 3-ish trash movie favorites.   This episode also contains copious references to the podcast "How Did This Get Made" and flirts with fair use policy. Be cool, guys. Be cool.

  • On Being a Kelly Clarkson Show Virtual Guest

    Hannah & Suzanne take advantage of a once in a pandemic opportunity and attend a virtual taping of the Kelly Clarkson Show. Their 3-ish things are a little awkward and probably too long, but so was the amount of clapping they had to do as virtual guests.

      If you're listening to this podcast, then you can watch this episode of the Kelly Clarkson Show, which aired on April 29, 2021! Discussion includes whether Anna Kendrick now dreams of Hannah, if Suzanne has torpedoed her friendship chances with Kelly Clarkson, and their utter delight in free things and prizes.

  • Most Austentatious! Is Emma the Worst?

    In the second episode of Most Austentatious!, Hannah & Suzanne dive into the novel which is arguably Jane Austen's most sophisticated and features her most complicated heroine: Emma. Is Suzanne a giant Austen hipster? What is a Frank Churchill and why can Hannah & Suzanne take or leave him? Perhaps most importantly, what is the deal with gruel?

      Also, did y'all know the 2020 Emma has BUTTS in it?! BUTTS!

     They answer these questions and more as they discuss their 3-ish things: three of Emma's most significant relationships and what those relationships tell us about Emma.

  • The Complexities of Language Education (with Karen Feagin)

    Hannah & Suzanne welcome PhD candidate Karen Feagin. Her research specialty is educational language policy and she helps us pull apart the racist turducken of the US education system's policies for students who are English learner classified. Her 3-ish things (*sparkle emojis*) take us through policies and laws at the federal/national level which have had (and continue to have) long-lasting impact on English learner classified students. We also meet a new villain: the No Child Left Behind Act.

  • 30 Days: Eat Protein and Stretch

    Content warning: this episode contains mention/discussion of diet culture, fatphobia, calorie counting, and dieting.

      Hannah & Suzanne are two ladies in their 30s and though their hearts often forget this fact, their bodies never do. Sugar hangovers, frozen necks after a bad night of sleep, and general cricks and cracks of joints, all serve as daily reminders. Is this just how things are now?  Through individual challenges, Hannah & Suzanne take 30-days to try and tackle that question. And, as one might expect, along the way they uncover some complicated feelings about fitness, diet culture, and what it means to listen to one's body.

  • Worlds Collide! "Lupin" on Netflix

    Two women, two specialties, one television show. In their first "world's collide" themed episode, Hannah & Suzanne combine their areas of expertise (antiquities trafficking and film/tv studies) to analyze the French Netflix series Lupin. They discuss the invitation the show extends to the audience to suspend all disbelief and whether or not they accepted said invitation. They also inadvertently come up with a new yet delightful drinking game ? (Please drink responsibly.)

      Season 2 of Lupin is scheduled to premier summer 2021.

  • Folklore, Evermore, and Taylor Swift Feelings

    Taylor Swift (a close, personal friend of Hannah's) is scheduled to release her next album, Fearless: Taylor's Version, on April 9, 2021. But we're not quite ready to say goodbye to her two most recent albums: folklore and evermore.

      We get all in our feels and share the 3-ish moments between the two albums that knock us on our emotional butts. And, in the process we spiral even MORE into our feels, which is bound to happen when discussing our girl Taylor.

      Follow us on instagram and twitter, both @wellherepod, and share the 3-ish moments from these two albums that knock YOU on your emotional butt.

  • Hansplaining: A Beginner's Guide to Provenance

    What even is provenance? In our first Hansplaining episode, Hannah introduces the concept of provenance and through a list of 3-ish things articulates its relevance for both those within the field of museum studies and those outside of it.

     And thanks to a framework created by Daniel Tiger of all people (animals?), we discuss what it means to think about the way museums acquire objects, give you language to talk about the issue, and encourage everyone to construct a plan.

  • One-Year Lockdown Anniversary Special

    Wonder what it might be like to listen to two women process their feelings of pandemic grief in real time? Well, wonder no-more because that's exactly what Hannah & Suzanne do this episode. (The whole thing has very Nick Miller energy, if that helps at all.)

     Together, Hannah & Suzanne process their COVID-19 anniversary reaction by sharing their 3-ish stages of lockdown/pandemic grief. They end by sharing what community and love has meant for them in this time. A little cathartic, a little sad, but hopefully also a reminder to extend yourself all the grace.
