Ep 383: Slow Down & Listen

For this week’s episode, Shanti returns from her trip to Mexico City, highlighting the vibrant culture and her desire to learn Spanish, while Antoinette opens up about her continued struggles with job searching and burnout. For pop culture, Antoinette feels frustrated by the imbalanced expectations of Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump and we are both delighted by the legal troubles of Rudy Giuliani. We dive into the harrowing case of Gisele Picole and how seemingly ‘perfect’ men can be involved in terrible acts. The discussion shifts to the digital age, addressing the roots of trolling and anti-blackness in online interactions. We react to Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s recent interview, and share our excitement for Tyler, The Creator’s innovative approach to music, emphasizing the need for deeper engagement with art.
