The And Also Podcast

This week, the girls play a very unserious game of "could you survive this?" – and spoiler alert, the answer is mostly no.
We run through zombie apocalypses and deserted islands (fire-starting skills: questionable), then debate which reality dating show would actually break us – Survivor, Temptation Island, Love Island, The Bachelor, all of it. From there it's a trip back in time: medieval plagues, the Salem witch trials (turns out one of us is a literal descendant of an accused witch), gladiator combat, and a deep dive into real Titanic survival statistics by ticket class. We also stress-test our odds as kindergarten teachers, flight attendants, wedding planners, and lifelong roommates, because apparently that's scarier than the zombies.
Basically: none of us are making it out of the Colosseum, but we'd absolutely win The Amazing Race.
Grab a drink, get cozy, and tell us in the comments what you think you'd survive!

This week starts with a very unserious live taste test before we get into the actual headline: Madeline is ENGAGED, and she's walking through the entire thing from start to finish. Family photos, the beach she's loved since she was a kid, family who said nothing, and the time spent completely off the grid celebrating with the ones she loves - we want every detail and we get it.
From there it turns into one of those conversations that actually matters: what you're not willing to compromise on when you're picking your person. Honesty, financial trust, emotional depth, and the harder stuff a recent, heartbreaking news story pushed all three of us to finally talk through with our own partners. And because getting engaged apparently means immediate decision paralysis, we get into venue waitlists, a hundred different wedding visions, and why having too many good options is somehow worse than having none.

Welcome back to the And Also Podcast! This week, the girls are finally home from Europe and unpacking everything (mentally, not literally, laundry is still in the suitcase).
This episode is less a highlight reel and more a full sensory download: a strange man leading them through streets at 4am with no explanation, a lovable chain-smoking tour guide named Paul who lied to their faces for eight hours straight, and the kind of hot-guy streak abroad that makes you seriously reconsider your zip code. Sprinkle in a Wembley Stadium run, a Mexican standoff with a child in a castle, and the group's aggressive new appreciation for American air conditioning, and you've got the full chaos of a girls' trip that none of them are fully back from yet.
Basically, we left as three girls and came back as Paul's girls. Grab a drink, get cozy, and get ready for the messiest, most unhinged recap we've ever given.

This week, we're talking about the conversation everyone has... eventually.
From awkward "birds and the bees" talks (or never having one at all) to first kisses, first times, hookup culture, and everything we wish someone had explained sooner, we unpack the stories that shaped how we think about sex, relationships, and intimacy.
Along the way, we share our own experiences, debate whether men and women really experience sex differently, talk about the emotional side of physical relationships, and explore why so many people leave sex education knowing surprisingly little about their own bodies.
It's funny, uncomfortable, surprisingly honest, and one of our most vulnerable conversations yet.

The girls are officially Europe bound, but before they catch their flights, they end up going somewhere completely unexpected... moral philosophy.
What starts with excitement over castles, cobblestone streets, and girls' trips quickly turns into one of the most thought provoking conversations they've had yet. From sharing real life stories about heartbreak, loyalty, prom regrets, and impossible decisions, to debating classic moral dilemmas that challenge what we'd all do in the moment, nothing is off limits.
Would you tell someone they're being cheated on? Would you pull the lever? Would you sacrifice years of your own life for someone else? This episode is full of stories that are funny, surprising, and a little uncomfortable in the best way.
As always, the conversation goes everywhere, and somehow still ends exactly where it should.

Some relationships end with one big moment. Others end after a thousand little ones.
This week, the girls unpack a listener's relationship dilemma after a fight between her boyfriend and her brother exposes much bigger issues lurking beneath the surface. What starts as one bad night quickly becomes a conversation about accountability, family dynamics, honesty, emotional maturity, and the difference between loving someone's potential and accepting who they actually are.
Along the way, Madeline, Summer, and Sheyda reflect on their own experiences with long term relationships, the fear of "wasting" years with the wrong person, why sunk costs can keep people stuck, and how dating in your thirties looks a whole lot different than dating in your twenties. They also share stories from recent weddings, new relationships, and why having a partner who lets you have your own space might actually be the biggest green flag of all.
So grab a drink, settle in, and don't confuse time invested with time well spent!

This week, the group chat takes a hard left turn straight into conspiracy theory territory. From UFO disclosures and alien encounters to the moon landing, the Mandela Effect, secret societies, ancient civilizations, and whether we may have accidentally hopped timelines somewhere along the way, nothing is off limits.
The girls attempt to separate fact from fiction, immediately fail, and spend the next hour convincing each other of increasingly questionable theories. Along the way, they debate whether extraterrestrials are already here, whether history is being rewritten in real time, and why every conspiracy starts sounding a little believable when the right person explains it.
And because no And Also episode would be complete without a little chaos, the conversation ends with a game where everyone has to guess the conspiracy theory the others think they’d be most likely to believe. The results are exactly as unhinged as you'd expect.
So grab a drink, get comfortable, and ask yourself one question: are you open-minded… or are you already in too deep?

Welcome back to the And Also podcast! This week, the girls dive into the internet’s latest relationship theory: Spring Fever. Why do so many people suddenly end relationships when the sun comes out? Is it the promise of a hot girl summer, a renewed social life, or the realization that maybe you were only surviving cuffing season together?
Along the way, there are updates on various men, summer dating plans, and the very real challenge of introducing someone new to your friends. The conversation quickly turns into a debate about how much influence your friends should actually have over your relationships, when it's appropriate to speak up about a partner, and whether keeping relationship problems private helps or hurts in the long run.
Plus, the girls play a chaotic round of Husband Material or Not My Husband, where boats, golf, country concerts, espresso martinis, puka shells, and spontaneous camping trips all get put on trial.
So grab a drink, send this episode to a friend who always has an opinion about your dating life, and ask yourself one question: if everyone you love dislikes your partner… are they seeing something you’re missing?

Welcome back to The And Also Podcast! This episode gets a little unhinged, a little emotional, and somehow starts with a dead turkey in Summer’s freezer before turning into one of the most vulnerable conversations the girls have had yet. Between hometown dates, overwhelming situationships, girls trips, drunk cigarettes, and plans for a very single summer in Europe, the episode slowly spirals into a deep dive on body image, insecurity, Ozempic culture, and what it actually means to feel good in your body.
The girls talk honestly about their experiences with GLP-1s, the pressure to be skinny again, the confusion around body positivity online, and the exhausting mental gymnastics women go through every single day when it comes to appearance. From gaining weight, losing weight, comparing themselves to other women, and struggling with self-worth, the conversation moves between funny, heartbreaking, and painfully relatable in true And Also fashion.
There’s also a real conversation about health, fitness, femininity, pregnancy, social media, and the way women speak to themselves behind closed doors. It’s messy, honest, emotional, and feels like sitting in on the kind of late night conversation you usually only have with your closest friends.
So grab a drink, give yourself a little grace, and remember that learning how to feel at home in yourself is probably a lifelong conversation for all of us.

Welcome back to the And Also podcast, where this week the girls are talking about villain edits… the deserved ones, the undeserved ones, and the ones the internet creates out of absolutely nothing. What starts as a conversation about being labeled “mean girls” turns into a brutally honest episode about friendship breakups, jealousy, truth telling, public perception, and the pain of realizing someone you loved never actually liked you the way you thought they did.
Sheyda opens up about a friendship that slowly unraveled over time, while Madeline and Summer reflect on the moments they’ve been the villain in someone else’s story too. The girls get into the pressure of being perceived online, how easily people create narratives from incomplete information, and why being misunderstood is sometimes the price of being honest.
There’s also talk about “pick me” phases, drunk alter egos, internet conspiracy theories, dating while podcasting, and the exhausting reality of trying to control how everyone sees you. Somewhere between the chaos and the champagne, they land on a simple truth: you can be imperfect, opinionated, emotional, and still be a good person.
So grab a drink, settle in, and ask yourself one question: were you actually the villain… or just the easiest person to blame?
