Dec 29 2023 42 mins

Last summer I got a Korean vagacial on accident, told the story on Instagram, asked if I should make it into a podcast episode, had Kayti volunteer to talk about nudity for said episode, and subsequently put off recording it for over a year and editing and posting it for even longer, BUT IT'S FINALLY HERE. We re-live the steamed vag experience, have an HPV PSA moment, compare the K

54: Part 2 - In Which a Korean Youtuber Made Fools of Us (ft. my brother)

Dec 05 2022 33 mins

We recorded an episode, I had my brother make his final statement, intending that to be the end of it, and then we just kept talking. This is 50% me being roasted by my brother and 50% him suddenly remembering all the details about our trip he couldn’t remember in part one.

Jun 21 2022 31 mins

Georgia’s back!!! We’re rehashing the ideas presented in one of my most played episodes, “Pretty Privilege”, this time asking - is “pretty privilege” actually a thing?

Today we’re chatting with Bip Henderson, author of Norse to the Future! I came away from this one with an excellent list of book recommendations, so I’m quite pleased. We talk Flann O’Brien, the kind of absurdist humour that Ireland breeds, folk songs/ballads as a method of storytelling, quality vs. quantity and media consumption, renting movies in the olden days (RIP Blockbu

47: Do You Want to Build a Commune?

Apr 12 2022 13 mins

I finally figured out why I’ve felt so creatively blocked the last few weeks. It always comes back to money - the construct you just can’t kick. This one’s a chat about the frustrations of the back and forth between a desire for fulfilling work and long-term financial security and how often these two things feel mutually exclusive - and an open invite to join me in leaving so

This episode contains a small fan club meeting for Emma’s mom, and we discuss how Emma ended up in divinity school at a Presbyterian seminary (a thing that usually does not happen to people who identify as Mormon), the way that Mormonism, like any religion, doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing, what the “cafeteria approach” to the church can look like, the sacredness of bringi
