I LOVED your recommendations in last week’s Content Corner on what to read! Shoutout to all the wonderful and thoughtful comments people left! WOW! 😱😍🥰 My heart was so full after reading them — and especially loved seeing people responding to and helping each other! This is the side of the internet I want to stay on. Please feel free to keep adding to the book thread so it can be a growing TBR for and by us 😍
who gifted us with not 1, 2, 3, or 4 but FIVE INCREDIBLE book recs !!! WOW!! THANK YOU for being so generous!!!!
This week we are talking podcasts. What are your favs and why?! They could be fun, educational, consciousness-raising, hilarious, scandalous, sexy, informative, powerful, anything you love, we’d love to hear about!
Omg AMAZING your time to shine!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Audre!!!!! Can't wait to listen. I've listened to You're Wrong About but not in a very long time, and have heard such amazing things about Maintenance Phase, this is the final push I needed! Thank you for all the recs 🤩🤩🤩
Some of my favorite podcasts: Upstream Podcast, For the Wild Podcast, We Can Do Hard Things, How To Survive the End of the World, Disorderland, Finding Our Way, Ghost of a Podcast
YES Upstream!! Yall dont let the fact they call themselves an economics podcast throw you off, their conversations and documentaries are top notch yay anti imperialism !!
Omg this is such a great thing bc I recently saw this podcast and thought it looked SO GOOD but forgot the name and now that I searched it again I'm like THIS IS THE ONE!!! I can't wait to listen to it! "yay anti imperialism" --> I've found my people. Thank you darling !!! <3 <3
THANK YOU Hannah !!!! I love For the Wild too I don't listen to it nearly enough ! Can't wait to try the rest! I recently listened to a We Can do Hard Things episode and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to try these !! Thank you!!!! <3 <3
Ahhhhhh thank you dear Maris always so good to see you here !! I can't wait to try these. I love The Sound of SAND and I love Where should we begin and can not wait to try the rest !! Upstream is clearly a fav of this community !!!
woohoo thank you so much I have never heard of or listened to either and I can't wait. Just took a look at Around the Way Curls and I'M SAT!!!!! I'm so excited for this!! I love so many titles ! Thank you Ashley <3 <3 <3 !!!
ooooh wow I love it here I have never heard of ANY OF THESE Wowow. The Charlie's toolbox episode "pivoting to a new life" is calling my name rn! thank you Nozi for sharing these !! <3 <3
All My Relations Podcast - interviewing Native people from all over the world. the Hawaiian Resistance series is really powerful
Hoodrat to Headwrap - Ericka Hart & her husband Ebony talking about how fucky the world is and also Black excellence. The latest episode on House music was really inspiring
Crush(ed) - the Boy I Invented you episode is hilarious
We're Having Gay Sex - but like only the Sheria Mattis episode lol
I LOZVE ALL MY RELATIONS!!!!!!!!! WOW!!! Thank you Yazmean !!!! oooh omg an episode on HOUSE MUSIC, I cannot wait. These all sound incredible thank you for the recs and the episode plugs !!! I love it here so grateful to have u <3 <3 <3
omggggggg never heard of any of these they are SO GOOD THANK YOU GLORIA!!!!!!!!!! Wow....... This is so exciting to me, I have so much to learn and listen to! Thank you for these generous recs !!! <3 <3
I love ICYMI - just feels like hanging out and discussing the online zeitgeist with Rachelle Hampton, who i would love to actually be besties with.
Petty Crimes is also a fun/quick listen where the two hosts read a scenario from a listener and decide who is at fault in super minor interpersonal (usually passive aggressive) conflict. A great breather from heavier topic podcasts for sure!!
Also RIDE with Mary Beth Barone and Benito Skinner. Has me LOLing every single Wednesday i love these two so much
THANK YOU MARY!!! Lovely to see you here again! Omg Benito Skinner is so fucking funny wtf it's actually wild !!!!! Can't wait to try these podcasts thank u for the recs!!! <3 <3
It Could Happen Here has almost daily episodes on current events/world news but manages to avoid the pitfalls of like the fear mongering 24 hour news cycle. Their episodes from on the ground at the Stop Cop City movement have me laughing and crying
I’ll recommend 5-4 podcast, about the internet (by Christina and widling 🫶), the digital sisterhood, life gets weird, 1619 and the yikes podcast 🫶🫶🫶☁️🌸🦋🪷☘️🐬🌷🍃🎈🌾🪻💗

I'm extremely excited to try YOUR RECS wowowow I feel like they could last me a lifetime !!!!!! I often reach for a podcast when I am feeling alone so now it's like... will I ever?
