Welcome to My World

Ada introduces Nia to Pee Wee's Playhouse in their most divisive episode yet! Is Pee Wee a large boy or a strange man? Does Chairry like being sat on a little too much? What's a Jambi? Come find out!

They're back! Nia and Ada kick off season 2 with a lively discussion about the sitcom classiqué Family Ties. Come for Tom Hanks as an alcoholic uncle and stay for Nia's ~feelings~ about Michael J. Fox!

Nia and Ada get into the holiday spirit with the straight-to-video musical An All Dogs Christmas Carol! Three dog-ghosts help a dog-gangster named Carface grow his heart three sizes (or something), in their last episode of 2018!

The podcast is raised to the power of three when Ada and Nia's bff Alison schools them on all things Charmed! Early 2000s aesthetics and feminist theory abound on the penultimate episode of season 1!

Nia begs for Ada's forgiveness as they dig their way out of the muck that is horror B-movie Creepshow 2! This movie has everything: misused animation, unfortunate racial stereotypes, and not one single likable character! Get into it!

Ada and Nia get in touch with their inner child for an episode all about constructing roads and songs about other people's feet!

Nia and Ada head back to middle school for a discussion of the first book in the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series!

Ada's childhood fave gives Nia the willies, as they discuss musical theater conventions, problematic World War II allusions, and something called "Toot Sweets." Stick around for one of our strangest fact sections yet!

Spooky season is upon us! Nia and Ada talk about conspiring ghosts, rivers swollen with flood waters, and beg the Disney corporation not to sue them. Come for the murder masquerade, stay because the doors to the mansion are locked!

In which Nia spills the tea on her ex-girlfriend, Ada figures out why she is the way she is, and we try to suss out whether this children’s book is taking a deep dive into food deserts and water scarcity. Stick around till the end of the ‘cast to hear about Ada’s patented, life-changing Starbucks iced tea hack!

Join us as we dive deep into one of the weirdest relics of the '90's-- "Sleepover Party" starring Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Nia's mom, Robin, joins us for a chat about kids' content, child stardom, and PIZZA (P-I-Z-Z-A). Hope you enjoy!

Join us for part two of our descent into Scott Westerfeld's dystopian teen novel! Ada goes all dark Superman and Nia proves how little she knows about Harry Potter, and they somehow find time to talk about Uglies too!

We've got a slightly shorter episode this week-- part one of two episodes examining one of Ada's childhood obsessions: "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld. A dystopian YA novel...BEFORE they were cool B-) We debate space vs. history, the merits of dystopian novel tropes, and the problematic racial implications of a society that's based on a homogenizing surgery to make everyone "pretty." Gettin' deep on this one y'all! Tune in next week for part 2.

Nia has Ada suffer through Broken Bride, a dystopian rock opera by her favorite childhood band, LUDO. There's time travel, dragons, bitchy Superman, and absolutely no subtext!

On our second episode, Ada welcomes Nia to her family's favorite farcical romp, the 1955 musical comedy "The Court Jester." If you wish Robin Hood had fewer songs, more women in power, and the same number of men in tights then this (lively discussion about a) movie is for you! Come for our impression of Danny Kaye's accent work and stay for everything else!

Nia starts us off by welcoming Ada to her world with a rousing discussion of 1997's "Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella." This movie has a STACKED cast-- Brandy Norwood as Cinderella, Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother, Whoopi Goldberg as the Queen, Bernadette Peters as the Evil Stepmother, and Jason Alexander as the whacky butler!!!! We get into everything, from the hot hot prince to Jason Alexander's weird accent to the cultural resonance of the film. Join us :--)
