The Millennial Spiral 🌀

Curator: 

Why did you choose this theme? 

As two anxiety-ridden millennials, we know everyone is dealing with something right now. These episodes are a source of comfort amidst the chaos.

Strong OpinionsTherapy Is That GirlJoin Pretty Thing LA co-founders (and our curators) Myah Hollis and Sarah Hawkins each week as they give you their unfiltered, wine-induced thoughts on navigating the millennial spiral and all the ways that women truly don't get paid enough for this shit.

The ReadTherapy (feat. Dr. Joy Harden Bradford)

Join Kid Fury and Crissle for their weekly podcast covering hip-hop and pop culture's most trying stars. Throwing shade and spilling tea with a flippant and humorous attitude, no star is safe from Fury and Crissle unless their name is Beyoncé (Or Blue Ivy). This pod also serves as an on-air therapy session for two friends trying to adjust to life (and rats) in the big city.

Code SwitchWords of AdviceCode Switch hosts the fearless conversations about race that you've been waiting for. Hosted by Gene Demby and Shereen Marisol Meraji, this pod tackles the subject of race head-on. They explore how it impacts every part of society, from politics and pop culture to history, sports, and everything in between. In this episode, Demby and Meraji look at a few questions about race and identity from their "Ask Code Switch" series. 

Terrible, Thanks For AskingWhat's Negative About Positivity?

You know how when someone asks "How are you?" you just say, "Fine,” even if you’re dying inside, just so everyone can go about their day? “Terrible, Thanks For Asking” is the opposite of that. Host Nora McInerny asks real people to share their complicated and honest feelings about how they really are. It’s sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and often both. In this episode, we counter the "good vibes only" mantra. In this episode, you'll find the antidote to Toxic Positivity. 

MentalWorking From Home

Mental was created by Bobby Temps to break down mental health stigmas and discrimination. In this episode, Hogan and Temps talk to Emma Mainoo, a Mental Health First Aid instructor, about the impact on our health of working from home. Mainoo also shares fascinating insights on loneliness and the ways in which workplaces are encouraging connection around more than just work.

PODCAST SPOTLIGHT:

This week's spotlight is on the pandemic pod, How Long Gone with Chris Black and Jason Stewart. I came across this podcast because I was searching for interviews with comedian and actress Rachel Sennott (s/o Shiva Baby), and decided to listen beyond this specific episode, because a) I liked what I heard and b) someone reviewed the show's hosts as "the only straight men I will ever listen to."🔦Spotlit by Maya Rubin
