Witch Way to Redemption: Moni and Kat do a Cosplay


Listen Later

In this spontaneous pre-Halloween freestyle episode, the hosts begin with a light catch up session before getting into their full cosplay costumes (Kat as Storm from the Marvel comic books, and Moni as Dionne Davenport from Clueless). They share memories of Halloween traditions growing up, their favorite Halloween memories, and how those childhood rituals shape how we feel about the holiday as adults. The conversation pivots to Kanye West’s “betrayal list,” which they use as a springboard to improvise their own betrayal list. This leads to a deeper discussion about what redemption really looks like after betrayal. The hosts playfully imagine creating a “redemption ritual” as a communal practice: whose job is it to decide what it takes to truly be redeemed after betraying your community? Tap in and hear what the ladies had to say. Cheers!
