Highlights from the first show include a series of sketches in which a goose has enrolled as a police officer, somehow getting through the very tight vetting procedures. There's a character sceptical about time, and a doll-baby so realistic she's more of a nightmare than a toy. The show is written and performed largely by people new to radio.

Nathalie Antonia is back to bare all with us about the struggle to accept our changing, messy, imperfect bodies. From the parental and pop culture influences that shaped us early on, to our unresolved questions and issues now- this isn’t a show with easy (or any!) answers, but we know there are hard truths in getting honest about where we are right now. And we hope you’ll join us in this process of getting comfortable with the space we take up in the world, and start to shift our energy from obsessing about our bodies to fighting the patriarchy that causes that obsession in the first place.

Are you good at dating? Do you go straight to crazy town after sex? Has swiping ruined love?

This week Nathalie Antonia is back and we’re unravelling Rebecca’s tale of a surprise dick video turned teachable moment. We find ourselves trying to understand all the ways we unconsciously default to performing emotional labor- attempting to manage or assuage the emotional experiences of others (often men)— and how that reflects society’s expectations, our own fears, and how we respond when threatened. Plus, we learn Nathalie’s mantra for social media mental health! Do you have drama in the DMs? Want us to deconstruct your text/facebook/tinder messages? Send us those screenshots and tell us your story and get on the show!
