Arm Bridge Podcast

After a hot minute we're back! We're both fully vaccinated as of now and we decide to talk about our symptoms as well as what we're looking forward to doing in the near future. We also dive into our issues with online school, self-growth, and asking the "hard questions" in life.

Hello! This week I (Sanika) am back with another solo episode. Over the past six months, I've started watching a lot of pandemic/zombie movies for obvious reasons, and this week I was feeling particularly passionate about them. As such, I decided to review all of the movies and shows I've watched so far including Train to Busan, Alive, Sweet Home, Kingdom, and--though it's only loosely tied to pandemics-- V for Vendetta. Thanks for watching this week's episode and I hope a few of these movies maybe piqued your interest!

Merry Christmas, we're back!! We decided to take a quick break during finals "week" (month), but we're back now with tons of new episodes ready for the coming week and the new year (ooooh). This week our episode is about Christmas! We take Buzzfeed quizzes (Buzzfeed PLEASE don't copyright strike us), rank Christmas foods on a tierlist, and talk about our Christmas traditions.

A lot of things happened to me last night in the span of just a few hours and I just had to sit down and record a quick bonus episode for y'all. A famous rapper liked my post, I had a revelation about someone's texting methods, and I may or may not have pirated songs to meditate to their slowed + reverb versions. | Visit our website for more Spotify playlists and streaming platforms: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/ | Follow us on Twitter @armbridgepod and Instagram @armbridgepodcast | See you guys in December with new, exciting content!!! :D

We recorded this before Good News was released, and before BE was released, and before Taemin's newest comeback(s), AND CL's HWA came out, so go stream all of those because this episode got released very late. Speaking of which, sorry for uploading so inconsistently! Both Chelsea and I suddenly got extremely busy with classes, and since we're approaching finals week, we might be a little bit inconsistent again. Thank you for understanding, and we apologize. This week, we do a part two for our SSSS tier comeback special and struggle to contain our excitement (again) while analyzing songs by Stray Kids, Jessi, CL, sogumm, Megan Thee Stallion, and more! If you liked any of the songs, you can check them out in our playlist below: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrWD2YZFR_n6Hv1PRFcQYD_3lQM1A1H6k | Visit our website for more Spotify playlists and streaming platforms: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/ | Follow us on Twitter @armbridgepod and Instagram @armbridgepodcast | See you next Tuesday with a new episode!

After the recent comebacks in the past two months, we have officially deemed ourselves music critics. Do we have deep insightful commentary..? That's questionable, but we do our best this week episode as we make a good chunk of the episode about pH-1, discuss BTS's most recent Billboard hit, and cry about Taemin's "Criminal". Of course, like any logical person would, we use a tier list (with a twist!). | Check out the songs we discussed in our YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrWD2YZFR_n6Hv1PRFcQYD_3lQM1A1H6k and on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6I5pFSNN7qHRqkYXCGnCCK?si=_WXKEt2AS4-F9ZfT9cKnuw | A blank tier list template, just in case you didn't agree with us (lol): https://tierlists.com/create/the-comeback-episode | Visit our website for more Spotify playlists and streaming platforms: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/.

*** For some reason the song of the week won't play! Please bear with me while I figure out how to add it, till then here's the youtube link to it: https://youtu.be/uXcpLWB2eBA, okay now to the description: Howdy! This week, after watching The Social Dilemma on Netflix, I decided to give my take on how social media has affected me personally, and I gave some of my personal takeaways from the documentary. This week's topic is a little more serious than what we usually do but hopefully, some of y'all find this relatable as well. Happy listening! As always, thank you for listening! Be sure to follow us on our *socials* and listen to us on other platforms as well at: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/ Also, check out Chelsea's new solo podcast!! https://movieishpodcast.carrd.co/ See you next week!

In this bonus clip/tangent/episode, we talk about how we're slowly turning into suburban Pinterest moms who need to drive children around, as well as the annoyances of being a law-abiding citizen. (This segment was cut from episode 23.) | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast and Twitter @armbridgepod. | Check out our website for curated Spotify playlists and other streaming platforms: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/. | See you next Tuesday with another episode!

Recently, we've been into astrology and how our signs make up most of our identity. This week, we gave advice to our listeners based on their zodiac sign: we cover relationships, focusing on the future, mental health, and moving on in the face of uncertainty. In between these pockets of tangential (and hopefully helpful) guidance, we roast "The Republic" again, discuss the dangers of uniformity, and promote pH-1's podcast venture. | Our song of the week is "Criminal" by Taemin.

Hey yall! This week, Chelsea and I answer the second half of the questions from the New York Times' 36 Questions to Fall in Love. Do we overshare again? Absolutely. Are we okay with that? Maybe. Sit back and enjoy this absolutely riveting ride through our life experiences, opinions, and goals and aspirations. Hopefully, you get to learn a little bit more about us :) (Also, enjoy the ambient rain noises in the background haha) As always, thank you for listening!

Due to some technical difficulties on both of our ends, part two to episode 20 will be out next week. In the meantime, I (Chelsea) recorded a solo episode after reading my first book for my philosophy class because I just had too much on my mind. Aside from poorly summarizing parts of "The Trial and Death of Socrates" by Plato, I mention my fear of a certain beauty YouTuber, how language affects our thinking, and why I hate Snapchat. | I couldn't pick a song of the week so I literally just mentioned the entirety of H1GHR Music's "Red Tape" album. As I mentioned before, we'll only put out our songs of the week on our IG story and through Anchor.

We're back! And oh my god it's the end of season one. This week, Chelsea and I decide to try out The New York Times' "36 Questions That Lead to Love." Unsurprisingly, we already know each other pretty well, but hopefully, y'all learn a thing or two about us! This episode, we cover questions 1-17, where we discuss who we want to meet, our ~life stories~, and our most treasured memories. Happy listening! ALSO!!

I'll be honest, I have no clue what this video is either. This week, I go on a (clearly) sleep-deprived rant where I juggle talking about pants and giving advice for high schoolers at the same time. Is this advice good? Probably not, but that's okay because everyone has different perspectives. I talk about the importance of organization, working smart instead of hard, and being yourself, and I review many different types of pants while at it.

We finish up your recommendations this week, and if you thought that last week's songs were sad, these are even *sadder*. While identifying more words that start with B (and even more that start with S), we discuss the lyrical nostalgia of Taylor Swift, Post Malone's melancholy side, and how intention makes a song more meaningful. At the end, we attempt to answer perhaps the Deepest Question we've had so far on the podcast. Chelsea's knees make a guest appearance. | We recommend that you listen to the songs mentioned today before or after watching!

(Sorry that this is a bit late, we had technical difficulties on both our ends and college classes have formally started!) For this week's episode, we asked you, our viewers, to send us some songs to rate. Thank you for sending a total of 22! Because of that, we're making episodes 17 and 18 a two-part special to place all of the songs on—you guessed it—a tier list. In this episode, we delve into some nostalgic songs, the cultural impact of "Baby Shark", and a lot of words that start with the letter B. During the Deep Questions segment, we discuss the importance of mortality and art appreciation. | We recommend that you listen to the songs mentioned today before or after watching!

This week, I do a total 180 from the calmness of Sanika's episode and delve deep into the topics ravaging my brain for the past week using a tier list. I rant and rave about an anime character's sudden transformation, how podcast favorite Trap House Guy (rapper EK) was robbed on the Korean hip-hop program "Show Me the Money", banana blossoms, and the philosophy of science. As usual, I conclude with some very Deep Questions. | Visit our new website (moved from Linktree): https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/ | Follow us on Twitter @armbridgepod and Instagram @armbridgepodcast | Clip of EK from the video (sorry pH-1): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF2a6fn7jp0 | Watch "Show Me the Money" (credit to Kim Nahae and Khiphop Subs on Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/khiphopsubs/posts/1495132694000770?__tn__=K-R | See you next Tuesday with another episode!

Our initial goal with our episode on personal style was to take our listeners' responses and review/talk about them, but we weren't able to gather enough. In this bonus clip, I (Chelsea) address two of my responses and discuss some key points about their respective aesthetics. | Intro music: "Static" by Jef (provided for free by InShot video editor) | Check out our new website for our socials/streaming platforms and some fun Spotify playlists: https://armbridgepodcast.carrd.co/ | Follow us on Twitter @armbridgepod and Instagram @armbridgepodcast | See you next Tuesday with another episode!

Heyyy! We're back with our solo segments this week. As awkward as it was the first time I filmed a solo episode, I weirdly still had fun with it will be a regular-ish segment on Arm Bridge. But! Aside from that, I've been kinda sorta going through it so I thought I'd make this episode even more chill than my last solo episode. This week we are tackling relaxation. Join me as I ask myself and you, the listener a series of questions about relaxing and destressing as we (hopefully) stress a bit less about our lives. Again, thank you to the two websites I used to provide me with questions: - https://owlcation.com/humanities/100-Philosophical-Questions-that-Make-You-Think-and-Discuss - https://www.wendyleeds.com/post/10-powerful-questions-to-calm-your-anxiety Thanks again for tuning in and be sure to follow us on our socials/listen to us on other platforms (so you can hear the song of the week) at: https://linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast See y'all next week!

In this bonus clip, we have the totally insane idea to read aloud some entries from our middle school diaries. Throughout the process, we uncover a few secrets(?), reflect on Big Simping™ and revisit the weird feeling of having a crush. Could we have written the next great American novel? Honestly, who knows. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ | Check out episode 14 for more context (this clip was cut out of this episode during editing). | Outro music: "Mint leaves" by Jeff Kaale (distributed for free use through InShot video editor) | Stream Arm Bridge through other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast

In this episode, we delve deep into our aesthetics and personal styles. We journey into tangents about our love for Tan France, the color black, why Mediterranean cottagecore should be a thing, and a story about one very fancy birthday party. Do we also roast our middle school drip in the process? You bet we do. | Stream Arm Bridge through other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast

***You may notice that our title is different from what we say it is in the video. The original title mentions dissociation, which we, at the time, didn't know was a legitimate medical term. We changed it so as to not cause any confusion. Sorry about that! We won't use the term as loosely from now on*** Hey y'all! This week we decided that we've talked about disliking high school enough times that we should devote an entire episode to the topic! Instead, though, we reminisce over some of our most fond memories from middle and high school, and how much we've grown since. Thanks again for tuning in and be sure to check us out on other platforms along with following us on our socials: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast See you next week!

Two solo episodes in two days? Did we plan this?

Hey y'all, sorry this so late! I was supposed to have a guest last week but we lost the footage :( This month Chelsea and I wanted to give solo episodes a shot, so I decided to keep this episode chill. Join me as I fold my clothes and just discuss some of the things I'm looking forward to in college. Hopefully, you enjoyed this format for our podcast episodes since it's something new we're trying. As usual, thank you for tuning in and be sure to check us out on other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast See you soon!

This week, we conclude our tenth episode special by reviewing four more songs, all the while maintaining our classic tendency to go on eloquent tangents. Our discussion peppers in our grievances regarding Twitter's "uSeR-FriEnDly" appearance, a brief encounter with the Saharan dust cloud, and why artificial intelligence is partially human. Among these things, we try to determine the cultural gaps between international audiences, the currency of a song named after one of Gen Z's heroes, and of course, why Megan Thee Stallion makes us feel empowered. Thank you guys for listening to us so far and we'll see you in the next ten episodes! | Stream Arm Bridge on other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast

Welcome back! For this week's episode, we introduced y'all to some of our favorite artists and analyzed songs by them. We covered Merlot by Nafla, Better Days by OneRepublic, Afterlife by BENEE, and PACKITUP! by pH-1. We also talked about chart manipulation, the globalization of music, and cultural appropriation. Next week, we'll be doing a part two to this episode with songs by Megan Thee Stallion (we finally didn't forget her), BTS, Stromae, and more! Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode!

This week, I (Chelsea) invited two of my oldest friends, Cerina and Jada, for a quick update into our lives in quarantine. We cover serious topics such as being a newcomer to BLM activism, whether or not we felt fulfilled in high school, and the chaos of whether or not we (or other beings???) are manipulating the time-space continuum. In one of our more serious, heartfelt episodes, we delve into the normalities surrounding staying at home, and the wishes we had for the future. | Since we briefly talked about BLM this week, please check out these resources: blacklivesmatter.carrd.co and https://tinyurl.com/y8axdxje (I found this doc on Twitter, credit to original owner). Similarly, if you signed petitions with Change.org, check the emails they send you! At the bottom there are similar petitions, and I've found a lot that I hadn't signed before. Also, make sure to donate to BLM charities, bail funds, or support black-owned businesses! DO NOT donate to Change.org. | Stream Arm Bridge through other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast | Follow us on Instagram: @armbridgepodcast | See you next Tuesday with a very special episode!

We're back! For this week's episode, we have one of Sanika's close childhood friends, Sandhya, as our special guest! This week we discussed the law of attraction and it's power in our everyday lives. We also touch on whether the law of attraction could be applied to whole societies for larger issues and the effect what we call "negative manifestation." The movie Sanika mentioned at the end is called The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, and it relays the story of William Kamkwamba, who built a wind turbine to save his Malawian village from famine. It's a really inspiring movie, and we would definitely suggest watching it. Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode! Be sure to follow us on our social media and listen to us on our other platforms again at: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast. See y'all again next week and remember to register to vote for the primaries!

This week, we covered a topic suggested by one of our listeners: how we perceive ourselves in relation to others. In quarantine, we've had a lot of time to reflect on our individual thoughts and the experiences we've had in the past that shaped who we are today. We tackle cringe moments, laugh-worthy worries, and the reasons why we change who we are to protect ourselves. Hopefully by the end we have you questioning why you are the way you are. | Stream Arm Bridge on other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast

Two very unqualified singles discuss how the media portrays relationships. Tune in next week for- Kidding! This week Sanika and Chelsea discuss the media and some of the unrealistic expectations it sets in terms of relationships. We tie this to our experiences with friendships, and discuss how relationships of all types (friends, family, partners) require effort and come with challenges of their own. Make sure to look out for a new episode next Tuesday, and follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast. | Stream Arm Bridge through other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast

This week, I (Chelsea) caught up with my friends Matthew, Gabby, and Eddie for the most disorganized reunion of the quarantine. We met in middle school and grew closer over the most frivolous and staged "feud" of our youth. After not having seen one another in the same place for almost two years, we look back on the memories we missed out on: quitting swimming, taking calculus, flexing obscure history knowledge, and forgetting how old everyone is. While we look back on our senior year, we hope that you'll join us for the ride. (Note: I want to apologize for my poor audio at one point in the middle, that's my bad.) | Stream Arm Bridge on other platforms: linktr.ee/armbridgepodcast | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast

This week we decided to discuss the idea of fulfillment. And of course, who could better tackle this subject than two very lost and very under-qualified teenagers? We featured our very first special guest, one of my (Sanika's) close friends. Join us as we drift deeper into an existential crisis by contemplating mortality, deciding what our ideal life looks like, discussing what makes a person happy, and more.

This week, we asked people a simple question: What are some things about music/the music industry that should be addressed? Our opinions on the matter were inspired by the unapologetic, bold, and female-empowering efforts of Megan Thee Stallion, but alas, we forgot to talk about her

Join us (Sanika and Chelsea) as we navigate the oddities of recording our first podcast episode. Wrought with confusion, our friends' random inquiries, and brief pauses in which we question why we started this project, this episode focuses on warming up to the recording experience. | Stream Arm Bridge on other platforms: armbridgepodcast.carrd.co | Follow us on Instagram @armbridgepodcast

Who are we? And how did we come about? This is your formal intro to us, your hosts Sanika and Chelsea. Thank you for tuning in, and we hope you'll join us every Tuesday for more podcast shenanigans. (Background music: "Mornings" by Jef, provided by InShot)
