    Never fails. You all make me laugh every episode. Even episodes like High School Musical, which I wasn’t going to listen to because I have zero interest in it. Buuuuut I knew it would be a good time and it was! Thank you for the laughs and the good times ✌🏽

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alemeda
Q: Would you rather never listen to Paramore again or never listen to Coldplay again, and why?
She would choose Coldplay, because Paramore drives an intense, energizing vibe but Coldplay provides a different, uplifting counterbalance.
Alemeda
Q: What is your favorite and least favorite song to perform and why?
Her favorite is Beat a B!tch Up because it hype crowds and she can highlight its energy, while Over It is toughest to sing live due to the vocal challenges and heavier subject matter.
Shrek
Q: What makes Shrek a subversive take on the fairy tale princess story?
The hosts explain that Shrek and Fiona challenge the notion that beauty equals virtue and that true love involves accepting flaws, with self-acceptance being the real 'true love.' They also note how the film mocks traditional princess narratives and uses humor to critique gender roles.
hemlocke springs interview
Q: What is your dream collaboration?
Hemlock envisions collaborating with Kate Bush and Tyler, the Creator, highlighting a blend of classic art-pop influence with contemporary hip-hop and experimental sounds.
As Told By Ginger
Q: Why do you think Black audiences seem to gravitate toward *As Told By Ginger*?
The relatability of Lois, being a single mom, and the shared experiences reflected in the show resonate strongly with Black audiences.
