Ready to pull back the curtain on podcasting’s wild and winding road? In the S1 finale episode of Who Says That!?, Cindy Lynn, and Cindi Lee are joined by Producer Justin Marra for this creative collaboration and serve up real talk no one tells you before hosting a show. Hardware fails? Check. Accidental closet studios? You bet. Lost episodes that still sting? Yep, still hurts. BUT the thrill of seeing your work played everywhere from Cleveland to Kenya—sometimes by the same family member-- is unmatched!

We get candid on building a show with heart: the magic (and mess) of co-host chemistry, trusting the pivot when plans gone sideways, and letting real stories win over the algorithm. Want to know how Costco hot dogs taste, boiled carrots and wine pair, and badly The Real Housewives of RI Drive?

Hit play for all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

If you ever thought you needed one here’s your permission slip for imperfect launches, learning on the fly, and growing past episode one. Turns out, producing a podcast is less about perfect mics and more about showing up—ears open, and heart ready. Season one bows out with a reminder: your voice (literal and metaphorical) matters.

🌍 On a mission to hear from every corner of the globe? DM us at @whosaysthatpod on Instagram, or email us at whosaysthatpod.com and tell us how you found the show. There’s a world of stories waiting to be told—and maybe, just maybe, we'll hear yours in season two...

Ever feel like you’re looking in from the outside? This week on Who Says That!?, Dom Magwili pulls up his chair and invites us all in. We get into what it really means live the Asian American experience—and how the media world often acts like Filipino Americans are barely a footnote—

Dom, Cindy Lynn, and Cini Lee get into:

• Why Hollywood barely gets Filipino stories right (spoiler: it’s not about the actors, it’s who’s writing the checks and calling the shots)
• What happens when you lean into your own voice—literally!—from self-publishing to narrating your own audiobooks
• The wild mashups in Dom Magwilli’s stories: think Filipino Pirates of The Caribbean , meets the magical adventures of Narnia, space, and old-school labor heroes.
• Why chasing joy (not just dollar signs) matters, especially when you’re teaching, performing, or charting your own creative path

Ready to break out of the boxes? Kick back, listen in, and get inspired to make your own lane—no permission needed.

Ready to write your own adventure—on the page and in life? On this episode of Who Says That!?, Cindy Lynn welcomes the endlessly creative Aloura Charles: book author, screenwriter, director, mom, and accidental vitamin prankster. From swing dancing nights in Burbank (with Beck in attendance!) to epic bike rides, parenting with purpose, and wrangling the inner artist after life’s curveballs, this chat is a testament to staying curious, connected, and just a little chaotic.

We cover everything from the origins of Aloura Charles’ “Sucked In” middle grade series (and why reading aloud really, really matters), to handling grief, to building your own tribe—one crazy story (or science-faction script) at a time. Plus: the sweatiest Italian Halloween, Ghostbuster costumes, and why foaming at the mouth is sometimes inevitable on a film set.

Drop everything you think you know about “the way things are” when it comes to your body, your path, and the world surrounding you—because this week’s episode will have you re-thinking it all. Join your favorite co-hosts, Cindy Lynn and Cindi Lee, as they dive deep with Selena Culpepper: wellness entrepreneur, tech strategist, soap alchemist, STEM mentor, and self-healed thriver, now living (and glowing) in the lush embrace of Costa Rica.

Selena’s life and work is a powerful reminder: you can question authority, get quiet enough to listen to your body’s language, choose not to settle for the status quo, and still circle back to community, family, and purpose. It’s about aligned, imperfect, healing action. (And yes—sometimes it’s about delicious-smelling handmade soap.)

Ready to trade the “crazy” things people say for intentional, next-level living? We’re here for it.

Want your own taste?

Selena Culpepper’s artisanal line: Oh My Goodness Soaps (currently on pause while she builds her new dream, but bookmark it for soon!), and keep an eye out for the upcoming Costa Rican wellness retreats—with whole-life healing at their core.

Ever think you knew all there is to know about France—croissants, romance, and perfectly-behaved kids? Think again! This week, Cindy Lynn and Cindi Lee invite Fabrice to spill the real-deal French tea, and trust us... it’s messier, more musical, and SO much funnier than you imagined.

We get into everything—from the trauma of chasing the LA music dream, punk rock mosh pits (and accidental elbow punches), naked bar dancing in Strasbourg, all the way to peeing in the woods. Yep, you read that right. If you've ever had bathroom drama on a hike, you’ll feel right at home here.

Find out why Fabrice left the hustle for a tiny French village, ended up building two houses with local help, and started hosting one-on-one French immersion weeks (no English allowed, sorry!). Plus, does life in France actually live up to the movies? Is French food as good as everyone says? Do French kids really eat everything? And do Parisians really deserve their rude rep? We cover it all—with plenty of laughs, some real talk about creative burnout, and tips on how to “pour from a full cup” when life gets wild.

Thinking about learning French (or just trying out another life)? Want to be immersed in good food, good people, and zero judgment for your hiking bathroom tactics? Fabrice’s immersion program is up and running—details at www.la-marette.com French countryside chickens included.

On this episode of Who Says That!? we tackle surprise pregnancies, identity labels, and the fine art of making good choices (even if it means eating ice cream for lunch). Whether you’re navigating Target with toddlers or debating date-night cocktails versus sleep, Laura (our LA-based school teacher, adventure-hunter, and cake-making queen) joins Cindy Lynn and Cindi Lee to serve up honest truths and laugh-out-loud moments from the frontlines of modern motherhood. 

Can you parent with purpose, chaos, and laughter all at once? We say yes. Life isn’t always a walk in the park –unless that park’s Disneyland and you packed your own cooler– but there’s always room for kindness—to yourself, your kids, and those on this wild ride next to you.

We’re stripping away “shoulds” and “labels” and celebrating making it work your own way, with real talk about the overwhelm, sharing parenting hacks, weekend stamina, and—yes—how to survive Disneyland crowds with or WITHOUT a stroller. 🤣

Some things you just can’t un-hear. Is having a child of your own really like buying a purebred dog? Who says that!? In the inaugural episode of Who Says That!? hosts Cindy Lynn and Cindi Lee take you on a wild ride across questionable comments, unexpected friendships, and the outrageous ways words stick around well past their expiration date.

From 16-year waits to motherhood, yoga studio “webs,” and Slurpee assaults on the freeway, this episode is a celebration of the weird, wonderful (and often inappropriate) things that get said and done to us…and done by us. Whether you’re a Midwest returnee dodging sauna thieves, a former cater-waiter eating humble pie over unraveling pants, or just trying not to cry before your dad’s funeral (because you already cried all your tears in grade school),Cindy and Cindi are holding space for your story. No judgment, just honesty, heart, and the kind of laughter that might make you snort Diet Coke out your nose.

LA isn’t where dreams go to die—it’s where you rewild yourself at any age. In this episode, Amanda joins hosts Cindy Lynn and Cindi Lee for a no-holds-barred convo about dating while divorced, feral feminine energy in your forties, and why bad dates (think: heaping plates of steamed carrots, and awkward Lego sculptures) might be less tragic and more hilarious than you think.

The trio dish on the reality of LA’s dating scene: eternal bachelors, polyamorous ankle-suckers, app fatigue, and why you don’t have to settle for coffee dates or “can’t, shouldn’t, won’t” energy—no matter your age or the ghosts of marriages past. Amanda reflects on motherhood, friendship, why your next chapter can be your prime, and reads one of her original love poems (it involves quantum entanglement—seriously).
