Prattle w/ Tré Vayne

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, that age old adage, while comforting, is only half-true. Yes, true beauty is most certainly in the eye of the beholder but the standard of beauty is in the scepter of the monarch. We have been under the rule of Western standards of beauty for thousands of years, and while the tide is changing, in the fight between beauty and profit, will beauty ever win? We got an intellectual baddie in the building y'all! Please welcome Yasmin Almokhamad in on the Prattle!

The leaves turning amber tells us the harvest is near, a grumpy cloud lets you know you better wrap your picnic up, and the incessant sniffling, sneezing, and wheezing from pollen reminds you that summer couldn’t get here any quicker. The world around us has always gently communicated with us to keep us on course, but as we steer further and further from nature’s path, we are becoming less able to decipher her warnings. Warnings that have grown bigger, stronger, and even more widespread. Episode 2 coming in hot with special guest, Hannah Fullerton!

I need you all to picture something. You walk through the gates, mint julep in hand as the smell of freshly baked cookies fills your nose as you walk down Main Street, U.S.A. and you smile knowing you’re exactly where you want to be. And where you are is Disney World, the happiest place on earth they say and who's to say that happiness has to stop when you grow up. Today our ultra special guest is here to clear the air about what you might of heard about people who never stopped wishing upon a star. Welcome to the very first episode of Prattle!! For an inauguration this important, our very special first guest could have been no one other than playwright Angie Bridgette Jones!

Calling in from Boston, this week join myself and Jordan as we break down the man, the myth, the legend, Justin Bieber. Whether you're a stan or a hater we all know him and we can all admit he's hot. Join in on the Prattle as we discuss topics like what's next for the iconic popstar, exactly how talented is he, his racist past and relationship with Blackness, and why I still say he's our generation's Michael Jackson.

Resident witch Zac stops by this week to tackle the ugly, busted, and tired demon that is mental health.

A big ole content warning but if you would like to hear some nuanced and astute takes, listen in on the Prattle!

Pop icon and superstar Ellen joins in on the Prattle today to discuss food histories, food fusion, and try to figure out why the French have a monopoly on classy food.
