Jordan’s Bed Frame, Daniel’s Eye Injury, Wendy’s Nepal Adventure

By Alison Rosen on May 10, 2023 in podcast

Wendy Molyneux and Jordan Morris are here, fresh from the front lines of the WGA strike. Daniel has injured his eye in a way that you have to hear to believe. It makes us wonder what the most masculine injury is and I think we definitely nailed it. I want to know if my booking emails need a fix and we talk about studying abroad. Plus #snackchat with English cookies Jeff Fox found locally and so much more.

Tara Schuster

By Alison Rosen on April 30, 2023 in podcast, Uncategorized

Author Tara Schuster is on the podcast to talk about Glow In the F*cking Dark, the follow up to the hugely successful Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies. I felt an instant connection with her, which I kinda of suspected I would from her books, but then I sort of think maybe a lot of people do since she’s extremely open, vulnerable and bright. That being said there were two moments where I got chills talking to her and she said she felt it too so I think we’re really besties? We talk about stuffed animals, emotional neglect, loneliness, writing routines, reparenting oneself, therapy, external validation, working at Comedy Central, being the bartender on Watch What Happens Live with Scheana and Raquel the night #Scandoval broke and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.
