  • Nina Parker All Day

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning and have stuck it out through all the iterations. I was really surprised when Ira left and I wasn’t sure if I would still like the podcast, but Luis has been holding it down. I think Nina should be the next cohost – hands down.

Bad Bunny Super Bowl & BHM Films with Symone & Monét X Change
Q: Were you thrilled to be on it? Because a part of me, if I get cast on a show like that is, but then they can just fucking get rid of you unceremoniously.
So, I love games like that. Like, strategy, like, deception, all that shit. I love that stuff.
The Pitt & Traitors with Bill Skarsgård & Brandon Kyle Goodman
Q: What has been your favorite sexually liberated watch?

The Pitt & Traitors with Bill Skarsgård & Brandon Kyle Goodman
Q: Do you find yourself often satisfied with what you see or is it rare that you get like a triumphant moment in this way?
It's actually kind of rare. I think that there's a lot of sex on TV, but a character that is sexually liberated, I don't think there are as many.
