  • Hey Is For Horse Girls
    Dec 3 2022

    For our season finale, we explore the iconic bond between a girl with too much money & not enough love and an animal with absolutely zero agency.

    Hosts Lauren McQ & Rebecca Rush know from experience that wild hearts can't be broken. You know who else knows that? HORSE GIRLS. What is a horse girl and why does everyone hate them? Why are men so jealous of horses? Barn hierarchies, urban dictionary, reddit, and horse girl humor.

    Bonus: horse women

    Patreon: Rebecca's horse girl fails -- as an eight year old, as a camp counselor who was exiled to horseback staff, and the toxic barn dynamics that summer in Georgia. Upon google search only the camp's website comes up over and over which we all know is SUS. The stories that were scrubbed from google for only $5 a month! We will also be uploading new bonus eps during our winter break. See you there!

     

    And a huge thank you to our listeners. There would have been no season two without you!

  • Mechanical Spirituality with Brittany Wilson
    Nov 23 2022

    For the penultimate episode of season two: belonging, hosts Lauren McQ and Rebecca Rush retreat into the wide world of psychedelics as medicine with special guest Brittany Wilson of Original Instruction School. Brittany is an herbalist and midwife who has lived with indigenous cultures in South America and has been leading ayahuasca retreats for over a decade. The ladies discuss how most plant medicine doesn't get you high, tech bros, the dubious backgrounds of white shamans, Rhythmia in Costa Rica, and group dynamics.

     

    On Patreon, Rebecca interviews Rosemary Gladstar, mother of modern herbalism and founder of California School of Herbal Studies.

  • Star Wars Pop Quiz
    Nov 8 2022

    Lauren's Teal Swan episode as she brings us into a world she knows as intimately as her waking life -- comic book heroes, heroines, and anti-heroes. The simplicity of knowing who to root for in a land of goodies and baddies. Feeling like as a woman, one had to know more about everything and must always be ready to be quizzed on Star Wars by anyone. The empowerment that comes with identifying with superheroes. Cosplay / comic con / autism overlap and what accomodations could be made by comic cons for their disproportionately neurodivergent fanbase.

    Want more personal, nobody but our besties know them stories? Head on over to our Patreon where for $5 a month, you get four bonus video episodes, a master book list, access to our close friends list on Insta, free yoga, and more!
