- Episode 15 - "Dead Ass? Dead Everything" with Kirsten Michelle Cills (Dying Up Here) & Laura Lyster-Mensh (Congressional Cemetery)Sep 27, 2024 · 1 hr 3 minAnd so... we've come to the end, dear friends. The final curtain call. The buying of the farm. But while the pod is kicking the bucket, in this series finale, terminally-ill comedian Kirsten Michelle Cills and death doula Laura Lyster-Mensh leave us with some wisdom that will live on in our hearts forever... or at least until we're all worm food, too.
Kirsten Michelle Cills is a Philly-born comedian, actor, podcaster, and docuseries subject known for her bold, dry demeanor and the oxygen tank that often accompanies her. Kirsten considers herself truly blessed to spending her 20s as a terminally ill comic who will not live to see any consequences to her actions. When not correcting people’s pronunciation of her name or talking about the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2018 Super Bowl win, Kirsten is committed her addiction to the topics we aren't supposed to discuss at the dinner table. Listen to her show Dying Up Here wherever you get your podcasts!
Laura Collins Lyster-Mensh is an American writer, podcaster, and activist. She has been founding organizations to solve problems all her life, including three international charities. She is the author of four books, and has produced four podcast projects, She is currently active as an end-of-life doula in her service as the Death Doula in residence at Congressional Cemetery in Washington DC and as a volunteer for a DC hospice.

- Introducing...Conspiracy, She WroteAug 30, 2024 · 34 minIn the summer of 2020, why were certain lifestyle influencers pivoting to posts about pedos, cabals and evil vaccines? Grab your red string and follow along with host Cristen Conger into the female-dominated landscape of "conspirituality” where wellness and woo-woo get extra delulu. Researcher, journalist and QAnon Anonymous UK correspondent Annie Kelly also unravels anti-vax moms’ medical mistrust, the red-pilled origins of tradwives and why conspiracy theorizing is fangirl behavior.
Conspiracy, She Wrote is an Unladylike Media production, created, written and hosted by Cristen Conger.
- So Extra: Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole with Cristen CongerAug 23, 2024 · 22 minIf you feel like maybe someone or something sinister is out to get you, tracking your every move and manipulating the circumstances of your life, let tell you that you... are... wrong! There's no secret conspiracy to keep you down, there are just a lot of things about humanity and our world that coincidentally suck. But as we learned from talking more with feminist conspiracy theory podcaster Cristen Conger, nothing will ever stop us from fantasizing about a darker, more narratively pleasing truth lurking just below the surface.
Cristen Conger is the creator and co-host of the Webby Award-winning podcast Unladylike and cofounder of Unladylike Media. Her accidental podcast life began in 2009 as co-creator and co-host of the podcast Stuff Mom Never Told You, now a part of the iHeartMedia network. She's also the co-author of Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Claiming Your Space (Ten Speed Press, 2018), which Kirkus Reviews called “a must-have feminist survival guide for the Trump era.” A former weekend contributor at Refinery29, her writing has also appeared on Jezebel, Huffington Post Women, Bitch Media, xoJane and A Practical Wedding. As a seasoned speaker on gender, feminism and women’s histories, Cristen's connected with audiences ranging from summer campers and museumgoers to uniformed coast guards and on stages from SXSW Interactive and Creative Mornings to MailChimp and The Carter Center.

- Episode 9 - "The Revolution Will Be Liked & Subscribed" with James Rehwald (Anti-Imperialist TikTok)Jun 7, 2024 · 42 minLong ago, OG protest-folk singer Woody Guthrie pasted the slogan "This Machine Kills Fascists" on his guitar to show the world he wasn't playing around. And nearly 80 years later, leftist content creator James Rehwald keeps that spirit alive by infusing sketch comedy with revolutionary optimism to remind everyone the future belongs to us, not the right-wing capitalist overlords.

- So Extra: No Kidding Around with Margaret ChoMay 17, 2024 · 10 minStart flexing those pelvic floor muscles! We're feeling a big contraction coming on, which means it's time to bring this bonus content with comedian Margaret Cho talking more about being childless-by-choice into the world.
Margaret Cho is a comedian, actor, musician, advocate, entrepeneur and artist. Right as she was starting her stand-up career at age 14, Margaret won a comedy contest to open for Jerry Seinfeld in the early ’90s. She performed over 300 concerts within two years. Arsenio Hall introduced her to late night audiences, Bob Hope put her on a prime time special and, seemingly overnight, Margaret Cho became a household name. Her groundbreaking, controversial ABC sitcom, All-American Girl (1994) soon followed. In 1999, her groundbreaking Off-Broadway one-woman show, I’m The One That I Want, toured to national acclaim and was made into both a best-selling book and feature film of the same name. Margaret returned to television in 2008 with the VH1 series, The Cho Show. 2010 culminated with another high honor, a second Grammy Award nomination for Comedy Album of the Year for Cho Dependent, her incredibly funny music album. Margaret’s creative side moved full speed ahead with an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress on 30 Rock, where she played Kim Jong II. The five-time Grammy and Emmy nominee released her second studio album, American Myth, earning her another Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine named her one of the 50 Best Stand-Up Comics, calling her “the sort of funny, sex-positive feminist and LGBT activist younger comics continue to look up to.”

- Episode 14 - "Deconstructed DNA for Dinner" with Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr (A CRISPER Bite)Dec 1, 2023 · 54 minNo matter how you slice it, taste is subjective. Afterall, some of you probably argue that kombucha doesn't have the same flavor profile as horse piss. But one undeniable truth that food anthropologist Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr genereously serves up is that there some pretty wild things going on with what we eat.
Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr is a cultural anthropologist, who currently teaches at the University of Delaware. She previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher with GEAP-3, a network of social scientists exploring the application of the gene-editing technology CRISPR to agriculture and foodways. As part of the project, she wrote, hosted, and researched the podcast A CRISPR Bite. The use of technology in food was also the focus of her dissertation research project.

Especially with things like photoshop and deep fakes casting doubt on everything from geopolitical conflicts to whether or not your favorite Insta model had buccal fat removal.

Come to think of it, some creatures of the night aren't just physically dangerous. They kinda have a creepy, Cosby-like, "cop a feel while you're sleeping" type vibe. So we asked horror writer J.W. Ocker to help find the source of our fascination with these frightening figures.

Seriously, he must be really burnt out from being the source of all of everyone's problems for thousands of years. American Hysteria host Chelsey Weber-Smith continues to point out that he's the OG scapegoat. But he's far from the only boogeyman we blame when things in our world go badly.
Chelsey Weber-Smith is the writer, co-producer, and host of American Hysteria, a show that investigates our moral panics, urban legends, conspiracy theories, and archetypes, basically our special brand of fantastical thinking. They also write country music and rambles around the United States building campfires and hoping for the best. Chelsey is a graduate of the University of Virginia's MFA program in poetry and has written and self-published two chapbooks, a travel memoir, and two full-length folk/country albums, and was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Their work has been published in BOAAT, Transom, Matter, Wu-Wei Fashion Mag, the James Franco Review, and Miracle Monocle. They currently live in Seattle.

And when the going gets tough (and also crazy, Christian extremist) it's always a good idea to call on someone who's escaped the world of gun-toting, climate-denying death cultists to try to figure what planet these people think they're living on.

- So Extra: Doing the Most with Bridget ToddAug 23, 2023 · 14 minWe wouldn't dare leave you there doom-scrolling all week while you wait for another episode, especially when disinformation expert Bridget Todd has boundless wisdom to share on how to navigate the murky waters of the interweb. So strap-in for a little more adviceways to fight for a newsfeed that doesn't drive you insane.
Bridget Todd got her start teaching courses on writing and social change at Howard University. Since then, she's trained human rights activists in Australia, coordinated digital strategy for organizations like Planned Parenthood, the Women's March, and MSNBC, and ran a training program for political operatives that the Washington Post called the Democratic Party’s “Hogwarts for digital wizardry.” You can hear Bridget on her critically acclaimed podcast There Are No Girls On The Internet and the Next Chapter Podcasts original series Beef with Bridget Todd. A current focus of Bridget’s digital activism is disinformation. She worked in a coalition that created resources to help identify and combat disinformation ahead of the 2020 election. Bridget wrote an editorial in Newsweek about it, and it’s a recurring topic on TANGOTI. She got her start in the podcast world as a producer for MoveOn.org’s flagship podcast in 2012. She cohosted iHeartMedia’s Stuff Mom Never Told You bringing feminist issues and activism to 2 million ears a month. She’s also teamed up with culture and arts brand AfroPunk to host a global salon where she’s talked to high-profile activists and creatives like Ava Duvernay and #MeToo creator Tarana Burke.
