  • What Am I Chewing? – It's Not Ice Cream
    Welcome to What Am I Chewing?, a very self-explanatory off-air game that Jordan and Cara like to play, now recorded for your listening pleasure. Play along as we eat snacks and try to guess what they are! It's harder and more fun than it sounds. Folks with misophonia beware: we are as unoffensive with our chewing as possible, but there are some mouth noises.

    This week, Cara and Jordan dive into Halloween season with the early 90s classic Hocus Pocus and learn that it probably shouldn't be considered a classic. They discuss the movie's weird obsession with virginity, its problematic witches, and then take a long detour into current events.
