112 - oh hi

About this episode

The hosts catch up on their lives over the past 2.5 years while discussing current events and sharing music.

hey, hello there, hi. We're so excited to be back and venting about the state of the world while also dealing with having a uterus! (...excited might be the wrong would, but we digress...) For our first episode of the season, we're doing a lot of catch-ups: we fill you in on the last 2.5 years of our lives, cover some newsy-doozies (lol there have been so many) and have a song or two for you to enjoy — because even though time has passed, we're still, deep down, some surprise-song-lovin blosts. Recommended activity for while you listen: find some fabric scraps, a needle and thread and sew some cute reusable pads for when the government inevitably makes period products (and periods themselves) illegal. :) <3 You can watch AJ+'s Peabody-award winning doc (produced by our very own Kate Elston), One Day in Hebron, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEdGcej-6D0 // Check out the secure abortion chatbot we talked about in this epidose here: chatwithcharley.org.
