  • New Year, Old Us

    It's the What It's About new year's episode! And we're releasing it in January! This week, Claire and Kyle look at things that were, things that are, and some things that have not yet come to pass. We discuss new years resolutions, top movies and music from 2021, the ever burning question of "are we idiots", and how many people could fit in a whale vagina. All in all, a pretty typical WIA episode I'd say. Is this thing still on?

  • Make Porridge Great Again

    It goes by many names: porridge, congee, zhōu. Is it a boring staple of a Chinese diet, or a new-age/new-and-improved take on an old world classic? You decide, while Kyle and Claire argue about foodie cultural appropriation and foreign capitalization.

  • The Great Debate

    In this gripping episode of What It's About, Claire and Kyle go head-to-head while tackling some of society's most hotly discussed topics.

Topics include terrorism and torture, universal basic income, animal testing, death penalty, and others.
