Hello!

Here I am, once again swinging by your inbox unannounced to deliver unto you the new podcast episode that was promised! I can’t believe Jess and I have been doing this thing for almost half a year already — time flies!

In this episode, we discuss the glorious upcoming Hole Debate, naturally, which I didn’t realize you can still join the waitlist for if you want to be there in person!!! I also just found out that Substack will be livestreaming the event for everyone who can’t make it which is very cool. In this month’s pod, we also chatted Renaissance Fayre Fall as a form of pre-capitalist yearning, why Moo Deng’s skincare routine is actually extremely metal, Kourtney Kardashian fishing for a lawsuit with her new Ozempic dupe gummies, and baptism by face wash.

Please check it out and I hope you enjoy!
