    Stan culture has spilled over from social media to real people like Pete Davidson who are dealing with real consequences of "fans" going too hard for their idols. How did we get here and which celebs are handling their stans the best? We explore a whole range of emotions talking about the return of low-rise jeans (omg plz no) and Forbes naming Jacksonville's five best restaurants (mmm yes honey).

  • Episode 39 with Carrie Wilson
    Dec 6 2018
    We stan a socially conscious brand. Carrie Wilson is a super talented Jacksonville makeup artist with her own line and she recently launched the new I AM campaign. It's meant to remind a woman that she is a damn queen who should be empowered by what makes her unique. Carrie also has really helpful makeup advice before you go wading through Sephora, totally intimidated and clueless. Plus, I had to know Carrie thoughts on the rise of beauty YouTubers. Turns out, you might be watching the wrong tutorials!

  • Episode 38 with Chloie Kensington
    Oct 28 2018
    President Trump might want to legally define gender to just male and female. But where would that leave the transgender community? I invited Jacksonville activist Chloie Kensington to give her perspective as a transgender woman of color. We also discussed her outreach work through her startup organization, the Stiletto Sister Society What I didn't expect was Chloie giving an exclusive account of her recent arrest and the disappointing interaction she had with the Jacksonville Sheriff Office.

  • Episode 37 with Mel Scillieri + The Sockateur
    Oct 17 2018
    What happens when Kanye West and Kid Rock hang out at the White House? Um, we're still trying to figure that out. His 20 minute rant was full of verbal hieroglyphics that we try to decipher. And good news! Amy Winehouse is going on tour! But she's still dead... I finally sit down with Jacksonville fashion influencer Jordan Mixson aka The Sockateur to talk about building a social media empire from Nordstrom Rack socks. His artistic background (hi he's a professional violinist!) plays a huge part in how he shoots the most under appreciated piece of fashion. The photos are so good that he was featured on THE Instagram page! Jordan gets honest about the work behind the brand and announces his very first sock collaboration with Man Rags.

  • Episode 36 with Yanira Cardona + Grace Freedman
    Sep 10 2018
    I'M BACK, Y'ALL. Adulting at the radio station meant taking a short hiatus from the podcast but now I'm ready to jump back into your ears with good conversation and my breathy horse laugh. I know you missed it. My guest co-host is Yanira Cardona, owner of YaYa Productions. She's always looking for ways to serve Jacksonville's Hispanic community. You can catch her supporting local Latino-owned businesses and throwing free concerts (my personal favorite). We talk about being Hispanic in the entertainment industry and discovering how low key racist our culture can be. Get ready cause we went off on an interesting tangent. Plus, meet the 17-year-old Ponte Vedra High School student who is woke beyond her years. Grace Freedman spends her weekends tutoring refugee children through her nonprofit, Jax Thrive. *happy sobs*

    Hopping on the second mic with me this week is Badr Milligan -- host of Jacksonville's fire The Short Box Podcast. He's the new nerd's guide to comic books and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the fancy term for Marvel movies). We hash out our feelings about "Avengers: Infinity War" because we're still not over it. He also fills us in on the GAAM event where veteran nerds and baby cosplayers can party together. Plus, Donna Orender of Generation W is back to talk about her new book! "WOWsdom! The Girls Guide to the Positive and Possible" is not your basic af self-help book. It inspires with the dreams and wisdom from women of ALL ages.

  • Episode 34 with Anna Claire Hodge
    Jul 1 2018
    I'm back! And I brought a friend! First on my lineup of guest co-hosts is writer, Jacksonville blogger and Katherine Heigl lookalike -- Anna Claire Hodge. This sweet soul explains how she works hip hop into her writing along and has an interesting insight on homophobia within hip hop. Our favorite celebs have drastically different social media styles. Cardi B and Kylie Jenner hid their pregnancies (and a wedding!) while Ariana Grande wants EVERYONE to know she's crazy in love with Pete Davidson. We talk about how likely it is that people will go back to not sharing everything on Facebook and IG. To put a sad cap on Pride Month, we talk about the attacks on four transgender women of color in Jacksonville. The Trans Lives Matter rally taught me so much that I had to share with you.
