A podcast where I read really bad stuff I wrote a long time ago, try to remember what the hell I was thinking and give tips to help other writers make their work a little less sucky.

  • 12 - Bad Christmas Movie Fest 2020 featuring Jake Perrone

    Every Christmas, Jake and I manage to get ourselves into some BAD Christmas movies. We aren't sure where the tradition began...maybe on a December vacation in Pittsburgh back in 2015 when the only thing on TV was a Madea Christmas movie. If you are wondering why a movie didn't make our list, it is probably because we already watched it years ago. We will discuss, in order:

    Happiest Season (2020)

    Christmas Contract (2018)

    Holidate (2020)

    Falling for Christmas (2016)

    Christmas in the City (2013)

    Scrooged (1988)

    A New York Christmas Wedding (2020)

    Dear Christmas (2020)

    Christmas Cupcakes (2018)

  • 11 - Feverish Journaling: Interview with Chevy Mustang

    At the beginning of April, enigmatic house musician Chevy Mustang became an icon seemingly overnight with his single "Because I Want To." In the midst of quarantine, he is the voice of a generation. He wants to go to Disney, to have a party. He wants what we can't have. I caught up with this beautiful human and attempted to unravel the mystery surrounding him. I ask him about his early work, his musical training, and his closest fans whom he calls "students." We discuss whether or not journaling too much can become a vice and the consequences of throwing away nearly everything you've written into a river. Welcome to the world of Chevy Mustang. If you're not willing to bury yourself in a hole with a straw as your only breathing apparatus, you may not be ready.

  • 10 - Sexy Arrogance (in a quarantine)

    When I was in college, I idolized Julian Casablancas of The Strokes. I wished that as a female, I could get away with the things he got away with. I felt insecure and not smart enough to be where I was, so I wrote a blog where I tried to flex my badassness and poke fun at people who actually cared about school. All while referencing my favorite modern media theorists.

    Other topics include COVID-19, NYU Dean Allyson Green, professors on ego trips, whether or not I am Stacey's Mom at my neighborhood pool, GT of GT's Kombucha, Jonah Hill's little sister, and Saferide. The guy from episode 5 also rears his angelic head (oops--in the episode I say it's number 4).

  • 9 - Before Netflix's "You," There Was My Diary's "You"

    To all the boys I loved before,

    “You seem to know everything. But do you know you are profound to me?” -16 year old me

    We know Penn Badgley is cute, but is stalking cute? High school me thinks so! In this episode, I will look at two diary entries about two different crushes (read: obsessions) my junior year.

    In one entry, I get ignored at a football game and run home to write a letter telling my crush about the meanest thing he’s ever done to me: ignoring my last letter.

    In another entry, a mysterious new man causes me to experiment with the second person. Pretty soon, I’m writing my creepy letters to someone new.

    I’ll explore why girls become boy-crazy in the first place and what (if anything) can stop that train.

    Finally, I’ll do a close reading of Imogen Heap’s “Goodnight and Go.” It might be a good idea to close the curtains.

  • 8 - So You Wanna Be on the Front Page of the Subreddit, HipHopHeads?

    Listen in cringey horror as this Blond(e) recounts the time she posted a literary analysis of Frank Ocean lyrics to the subreddit Hiphopheads for a sea of bloodthirsty Stans on the day Frank’s new album was supposed to drop (but didn’t). In the blog post, published on Catapult by yours truly, I compare Frank to the original hip hop head—Shakespeare—and my own head is rightfully served to me on a spinning chrome platter. I’ll talk about the crazy genius that is Frank Ocean, and get into the psyche of his obsessed fans who I psyched out with some non-album news. Finally, I will delve into the comments section, where I am labeled again and again as a “pretentious white guy.” (My picture was RIGHT THERE on the bottom of the post!)
