if you didn't know-- i'm a radio host too! every month, i host a music radio show called 'i don't do drugs' and it's based on music. episodes are archived online, so they're always available at moonglow.net. this episode is close to my heart, and i'm obsessed with the track list. enjoy this slight departure from my usual content; track list below. for remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @yourfavoritecupofcoffee on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.wildfire, by cautious clay get me hype, by lebra joliesuperstar sh*t, by dominic fikelucky me, by flwr chyld and sebastian mikael make me wanna, by emotional orangestennis courts, by kevin hollidayheadshots, by isaiah rashadgorilla, by little simzkamikaze, by omar apolloa bitch curious, by ag club and sam truthpeople, by libiancaslow it down, by zaiabody bag, by monaleomango, by kamauu and adi oasispapi bones, fka twigs and shy girl

i know that title is absolutely wild, but so is the tumultuous nature of my break up with my best friend of nearly a decade. addiction is a really touchy and important subject, and it's not so simple as someone 'choosing' drugs over their loved ones; it is very much a disease. it's not something that anyone is immune to, even people with trust funds and good jobs. addiction didn't change my friend, only amplified the many issues that we already had. everything happens the way it's meant to, but this was alot, lmfaooo. he was supposed to hold me down, and he was holding me back, so i had to let that die.  hear some stories and a reading of the goodbye letter at the end. remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @yourfavoritecupofcoffee on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

hello guys, and welcome to my episode! truth be told, this transition to true crime is not only brief, but it is fleeting. i completely misunderstood a homework assignment that i was assigned a few months go, so i have an unrealistic amount of research that i did on three random cases. soooo y'all give get these facts. lmfao. we're taking a brief look at three cases; the lauren smith- fields case, the tamla horsford case and the kendrick johnson case. my heart goes out to the families of all these souls, and may the perpetrators never know peace. seriously. on a lighter note-- enjoy and remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @yourfavoritecupofcoffee on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

this is not a podcast that condemns or condones drug usage-- but we're damn sure gonna talk about it. i feel like with the recent influxes in fentanyl related deaths, it would be almost disingenuous not to talk about it-- especially considering that i'm from the northeast where things have gotten really bad. i've written papers about the sweeping nature of escapism, that we suffer from in our society, and even started a documentary about the oxy- to- heroin pipeline. listen here, to hear me touch on decriminalization, the unfair focus on drug use of the  habitually disadvantaged, casual drug culture, no-so-casual drug culture, and much more. remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @yourfavoritecupofcoffee on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

hello loved ones. it's been awhile. welcome to the first episode of season 3, bitches. I am literally so spent. i have no way else to describe it-- life has been moving wayyyy too fast for ya girl. my internship, school, astrology consultations, the two books i'm trying to finish, boys, girls, nonbinaries, and my quickly deceasing bank account-- it's all absolutely kicking my ass. so, this podcast was a nice break. SONG PLAYED: 'andale' by cousin deeky.

i have truly never experienced an intense culture shock like that of being in your 20s. the transition from teenager to older teenager is almost despicable. i genuinely hold that your teens don't end until you're 23. you're seeing people you went to middle school with pop out their third kid and you're seeing people that were the top of your graduating college class killing it on onlyfans. (no shade. we support sex workers here). i'm 25, which is MILES better than 21-24, but hopefully not better than 26-29. and so on and so forth. remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @yourfavoritecupofcoffee on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

have you ever walked into a class/ a shift and you immediately learned something about yourself? i'm blessed enough to be a thousand and five years old and at this very point in my life, i do not care about that type of stuff. not that that can't change-- but right now i'm doing okay. but i have heard some absolutely batty shit about myself. i completely understand that rumors are an absolutely vital part of the human experience and that high school 100% never ends, but that doesn't mean i can't complain about it, lmao. remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @yourfavoritecupofcoffee on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

don't let the title fool you, i'm actually literally so boring, i have no felony charges, do not worry. i feel like there is so much that goes unsaid about the 'justice' system that we have. between all of these jailhouse shows, and prisons in the US being a part of the literal backbone of our economy, shouldn't people know a but more about it? not that i'm an expert but you know who is? google. also on netflix, ava duvernay's 13th and when they see us, are amazing places to start. remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @yourfavoritecupofcoffee on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

it's finally here-- i'm moving to manhattan! i can't lie. i haven't been this excited about something in so long. i am excited for chinese food and walks through the city and learning the subway system and being with my friends and having my own space with a view and being able to strengthen by businesses and hone in on my craft(s). enjoy this hilarious mini cast, primarily regarding the woes of new york real estate and my ridiculous DMs. remember, as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps.

you guys i have never been tired this way. my classes are still in cali time, so my last class ran until frckn midnight last night. regardless, i am a whole entire film student and i have yet to talk about some of my absolute favorite movies. these are movies that have helped me through so much. i'll be writing and directing these types of movies on day. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

another gratitude list. i'm kind of going through it, i'm not gonna lie. this qt has be stuck inside or alone on these drives, so what am i doing? thinking about the impact of my many tumultuous past mistakes. i couldn't be more thankful for my time in california, but i can't deny the obvious pain i'm still carrying. the best way to combat these types of things is re-examine the reasons i've fallen in love with my present by remind myself how many good things i'm surrounded by, and how far i've come. i hope i can help you all start your gratitude lists. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

don't call it a comeback, 'cause you never left. apologizes for the misleading title, but hey. marketing. took a little bit of a different approach this time. i've always written/ recorded movies about mental health because i just literally don't think people talk about it enough. i was honestly thinking about my audio production class and whatever i have due in two days for that and somehow that, and a huge cup of espresso, led me to this. mental health isn't important, it is V I T A L to our S U R V I V A L, so idk. maybe we could all be a little nicer to each other? a little bit more empathetic? idk. what do i know. i'm going to add this to my audio reel i think. listen with an open heart. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

a personal cast that's close to my heart. my absolute dream is to become a director, and that's exactly what we're chatting about today. i'm talking about four movies that i've been sitting on/ working on for a long time now. film is one of my favorite forms of art, and in my opinion, one of the most important ones that exist. i thank God and Buddha and my ancestors to the DEATH for my storytelling/ audio editing abilities because if i've learned anything, it's that (1) those are my natural talents and they are uncommon talents; and (2) camera work/ visual editing are absolutely N O T innate talents that i possess. it's really okay. i got this. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com. available on all podcasting listening apps. love and light.

from possibly one of my absolute favorite tiktoks audio templates ever, i can literally never stop laughing. i was telling one of my friends the story about when i got my nipples pierced (after that, and my brush with pancreatitis, don't you ever talking to me about pain). that got me thinking about the quasi- long list of body modifications that i've done, and the looooong list of body modification that i want to get the absolute second that we're out of lockup. it's alot. art belongs on the body. if you can afford it, do it. you'll thank me. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com

bored in the house and i'm in the good holy house bored. this podcast started as an assignment for my on location filming class, and to be completely frank, this is probably the exact mp3 that the professor will receive (hi jodi, love you). based off three questions posted on my instagram: what is the first thing you're going to do when you're out of quarantine?/ what do you miss most about your everyday routine?/ and who do you miss the most who isn't in quarantine with you? i'm sick of this guys, i know you are too. i know we'll get through it but damn are we through it yet??? this definitely humanized this entire situation for me, so i hope it does the same for you. the frustration falls on all of our shoulders, so this helped me take some comfort in that. don't let this cute little musing fool you-- i am losing my cute little brown mind. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com if you have any questions. love and light, my friends. we're gonna get through this. we're gonna get through this. we're gonna get through this. available on spotify, apple podcasts, google podcasts, iheartradio, stitcher, tune-in and pandora.

my weekend mini- cast. after four long and important yet undeniably tumultuous years in california, i am finally moving back to the east coast. i could never be more grateful for my time here. i learned more about myself and the people around than i ever thought possible. there is no way on God's green earth, however, that i would repeat any single part of that at all. i can truly say i am leaving with the strongest sense of self i have ever had. thank you for everyone who contributed to my growth, even if you were horrible to me and we don't talk anymore. blessing or a lesson. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or email yourfavoritecupofcoffee@gmail.com if you have any questions. love and light, my friends. we're gonna get through this. available on spotify, apple podcasts, google podcasts, iheartradio, stitcher, tune-in and pandora.

another mini- cast because my productivity has never seen a downturn of this caliber since i was a senior in college. due t this bullsh_t virus that i do NOT wanna talk about anymore, i've been sitting in my home and reflecting more than usual-- because if i get sick, who's gonna call my mom and tell her? not me. as i wrap up my time in california much quicker than anticipated, i think it's important to be as grateful as i can for all of my mistakes here. i didn't die, so. here is my comprehensive list of highly regrettable cirumstances that i could not be more blessed to have lived through. as always, for podcast updates, follow @vallliolah on instagram and/or twitter. stay safe and please wash your hands.
