Wine & Whine

This week we talk about good news!  We go over a bunch of feel-good stories that are in the news right now, argue about how much Girl Scout cookies cost, and talk about our Game of Thrones reactions (spoilers!).

This week we take a deep dive into the anti-abortion laws being passed in the south.  We talk about the laws themselves, implications for women everywhere, and what this means for politics.

We're back! After our break last week, we talk about current events.  Specifically, we go into detail about the Tati Westbrook/James Charles scandal and all the implications it has on us as a society: what does this say about our need to watch other peoples' lives, what does this say about peoples' need for attention, and so much more!  Go down the rabbit hole with us.

This week we talk about guilty pleasures.  We each share our top 3 guilty pleasures and then ask, but why should we be guilty..?  

This week we talk about a dark topic that too many of us have experienced: bullying.  We talk about our personal experiences and the fears (and hopes) we have for the future generations.

This week we talk about social media.  We reminisce about social media's early days, talk about positives and negatives of social media, and of course talk about Emilie's cats (they're just so cute and love to cuddle when we record!).  

This week we pair up with our friends on the Charismatic Megafauna podcast to talk about climate change.  We go over rhetoric that goes with the topic, politics that are wrapped in it, and all sorts of super solid facts (always).

This week is a lighthearted episode where we talk about our favorite shows!  We go over shows that make political statements, shows that just make us happy, our hopes and predictions for Game of Thrones (spoilers from 35:30-42:30!), and much more.

This week we talk about the importance of mental health.  Let's end the stigma together by talking openly about it!

This week we have Taylor Joy on the pod to talk about environmental justice and policy.  She shares her knowledge from her biology-based background about all sorts of topics pertaining to the environment.  We talk topics from food deserts, to pipelines, to anti-vaxxers.
