Vad tar man egentligen på sig på dejten? Tillsammans med Carin Falk – varumärkesstrateg, stilguru och ena halvan av podden Yada Yada – guidar vi dig till vassa dejtlooks som osar självsäkerhet och precis lagom mycket sexighet. Carin avslöjar dessutom hur hennes “nunneår” har format singellivet och korar världens hetaste dejtlook: jeans, t-shirt, klackar och ett perfekt knullrufs.

Det är höst och Yada Yada lanserar Cool Girl Fall – ett manifest mot den rationella, ständigt självförbättrande individen och för den lager‑på‑lager‑människa som får vara både kaosig och briljant. Carin Falk och Fanny Ekstrand reclaimar “cool tjej” från clean‑girl/that‑girl‑estetiken och pratar om varför “kom som du är” är höstens power move. Med Simone de Beauvoir som ryggrad (“think for yourself”) diskuterar de hur nyliberalismens prestationskultur sipprat in i allt från “5–9 before your 9–5” till vardagens self‑care, och varför motståndet börjar i det lilla. Följ med på Four Seasons‑resan från Soft Autumn & Charlotte York Fall via New York Winter och Romance Spring till Delulu Summer – och tvärsvängen in i Cool Girl Fall. Om du gillar feminism, mode, populärkultur och smart vardagsfilosofi i samma flöde är det här ditt avsnitt.

Vad säger stjärnorna om oss? Och varför känns horoskop som den perfekta samtalspartnern i början av hösten? Är astro tjejernas aktiemarknad? I veckans Yada Yada dyker Carin Falk och Fanny Ekstrand ner i ett astro-avsnitt! Det blir snack om Lejon och Vågar, höstlängtan, tarot-minnen och varför stjärntecken är som årstider – de sätter rubrik på en känsla. Perfekt för dig som älskar att grotta ner dig i horoskop, känna dig pirrig i hösten, reflektera över relationer – eller bara vill få en nystart med stjärnorna som guide.

Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk pratar om friheten och fällorna i frilanslivet. Är frilansaren vår tids rockstjärna, eller bara en person med mer admin än glam? De delar erfarenheter från att lämna fasta jobb, bygga portfolio, pitcha idéer och hantera ekonomin – och slår hål på myten om att frilans alltid är lika med drömjobbet. Denna vecka samarbetar Yada Yada med Weekday, hitta Scuba-hoodien de prata om här: https://c.klarna.com/al/En9r/

Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk guidar dig genom det svåraste modet av alla: mellansäsongen. När det är 30 grader men man ändå längtar efter burgundy naglar och stickade tröjor. Här kommer listan på nyckelplagg för en perfekt transseasonal wardrobe – från den avslappnade vita skjortan och vida kostymbyxan till tunna bälten, v-ringade stickade tröjor och loafers som funkar till allt. Plus: varför det ribbade linnet är the epitome of chic. Denna vecka samarbetar Yada Yada med Weekday, hitta Scuba-hoodien de prata om här: https://c.klarna.com/al/En9r/

Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk djupdyker i social ångest, att ställa in planer med vänner och varför vissa middagar känns som Mount Everest. Carin berättar om sin inre resa från utbrändhet till att sätta gränser - och att säga nej. Det handlar om att vara super-social men ändå få panik av kalendern, hur man pratar med den där kompisen som alltid bangar, och varför protect your peace ibland bara är ren isolering. En varm och ärlig konversation om att våga vara ärlig - både med andra och med sig själv. Denna vecka samarbetar Yada Yada med Weekday, hitta Scuba-hoodien de prata om här: https://c.klarna.com/al/En9r/

Carin har gjort en helomvändning – från Fashion Week-skeptiker till fullblods-fan av Copenhagen Fashion Week. Tjejerna listar favoriterna direkt från street style-scenen: Janka Polliani, Marianne Theodorsen och danska mode-wizards som får dem att vilja damma av sina paisley-bandanas och köpa en ny it-väska med personlighet. Ett avsnitt fyllt av stilreflektioner, gamla outfits, nya takeaways – och Pamela Anderson.

Helvetesveckan är här. Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk pratar ångest mellan säsongerna, back-to-work blues, livräddande köttfärssås, Devil Wears Prada-vibbar och små hacks som gör höststarten lättare. Back to work? Fanny och Carin guidar dig genom helvetesveckan. Denna vecka samarbetar Yada Yada med Weekday, hitta Scuba-hoodien de prata om här: https://c.klarna.com/al/En9r/

I veckans Yada Yada blir det svettigt när Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk läser upp brutalt ärliga fördomar – både om varandra och från lyssnarna! Har Carin fotfobi? Är Fanny periodare? Och varför spelar vissa av oss dummare än vi är? Vi pratar sociala medier, självbild, influencer-liv, home towns, New York-regret och varför författardrömmar faktiskt är modiga. Det blir anknytningsteori, skratt, skav och självinsikt.

Have you ever caught yourself waiting? Waiting to feel confident. Waiting for your kids to behave so you can feel calm. Waiting for the house to be clean so you can feel peace. I see you. I've been there, lying in bed, praying tomorrow would be different. That somehow I'd wake up and magically feel like the parent I wanted to be. Here's what I discovered after my baby powder blizzard moment 17 years ago: Those emotions we are waiting for? They're not coming in a specially wrapped package. What We're Exploring Together  We can manufacture the emotions we want to feel. Not by forcing. Not by bypassing. But by understanding that we are the creators of our emotional experience. I promise this episode isn't about toxic positivity or pushing away negative feelings. It's about recognizing our power when we're ready to use it. The Five Truths That Set Us Free We're not supposed to feel happy all the time (and thank goodness for that)Every emotion belongs - they're all part of this messy, beautiful human experienceOur thoughts create the meaning - it's not the situation, it's our story about itWe need the contrast - without the hard, we can't appreciate the beautifulEmbracing negative emotions makes them less scary - resistance creates suffering, acceptance creates freedomThe Practice (Because Love Is a Verb)  Creating emotions is about:Recognizing what you're feeling without judgmentDeciding how you want to feel (yes, you get to choose!)Finding thoughts you actually believe that support that feelingPracticing, practicing, practicing (like going to the gym for your heart) You are the author of your emotional experience. This Week's Loving Challenge What emotion do you want to create? Not someday. Not when things get easier. But right now, in the messy middle of your real life. Pick one. Maybe it's confidence. Maybe it's compassion. Maybe it's just plain old peace. Then ask yourself: What would I need to believe to feel this way?Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

I veckans Yada Yada kastar sig Carin Falk och Fanny Ekstrand rakt in i semesterkänslornas mest kaotiska hörn. Det blir gråt i segelbåt, husvagnssex, 33 grader i Jämtland, och det eviga mysteriet: varför är det så svårt att njuta av ledigheten? De snackar förväntningar och ångest, kommunikationskris, skärmtids-bråk och varför tonen är det som lägger krokben för hela relationen. En podd om allt som går fel när man försöker maxa semestern. Och varför citatet “Expect nothing, appreciate everything” borde bli din nya bakgrundsbild.

Anna Wintour, tacky bröllop och The Delulu Summer - I veckans Yada Yada dissekerar Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk Anna Wintours exit från Vogue, det osmakligt spektakulära bröllopet mellan Jeff Bezos och Lauren Sánchez och hur Quiet Luxury ersatts av Tacky Culture. De pratar legacy, modejournalistik, nepo babies och varför allt idag är... content. Avsnittet för dig som vill förstå modes makt och veta varför Vogue aldrig kommer bli vad det en gång var.

Delulu Summer, dejting i södra Europa och girlboss-karriären. I veckans Yada Yada gästas Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk av Shpresa Salihi - TikTok-stjärna, smyckesdesignern och queen of South European Summer. Det pratas identitetsbyten på krogen, espresso martinis i Albanien, och hur man tar klivet från e-com chef till kreativ frihet – med otroligt hår, delulu drömmar och NOLL swish-aura.

Välkommen till DeLulu Summer™️ - där vi odlar tomater, skrapar fasader och dricker iskaffe ur en korgväska.. Där tights blir vardagsuniform och matcha är religion. I detta avsnitt av Yada Yada lanserar Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk en ny era: en sommar fylld av manifestation, moodboards och maximal girl energy. Vad innebär det att vara "Delulu"? Hur ser en Martha Stewart vibe ut jämfört med en LA Girl Summer? Och vad händer när man är totalt delusional och säger upp sig utan att veta vad som väntar? Lyssna för skratt, stil, självutveckling och en guide till att skapa din bästa säsong - oavsett om du vill vara en woo girl, en rat girl, en trädgårdsmästare, ha en euro summer eller leva på smoothie bowls.

Vad har filtar, emojis och känslan av att vara mätt gemensamt? De borde endast vara för tjejer – om man frågar Fanny Ekstrand och Carin Falk i veckans avsnitt av Kort-Kort från Yada Yada. I detta rappa och syrligt roliga snack dyker duon ner i TikTok-trenden "Only for the Girls" och listar allt som killar borde hålla sig borta från. Det snackas sociala medier, nyspassiv aggressivitet och varför tummen upp-emojin borde pensioneras omedelbart. Missa inte 10 minuter av kärlek, kritik och kulturanalys på högst personlig nivå. Kort sagt: det är Kort-Kort.

Carin spenderar i genomsnitt 7,5 timmar om dagen på mobilen, är det rimligt? Är det ett missbruk? Är det en flykt? Framförallt, är det ett problem? Fanny riktar träffsäkert sin PMS mot Hailey Biebers relation med Justin. En helt vanlig onsdag med Yada Yada.

INTRODUCING: KORT-KORT! Ett nytt kortare måndagsformat från Yada Yada. Tio minuter, ett ämne, en lista. Varje vecka turas vi om att bjuda på snabba spaningar, ytligheter vi älskar och saker vi inte kan släppa. Lite rivigare, lite flamsigare, lite mer mode. Kort och gott: Kort-kort! Veckans lista: Är det en bra idé eller är det bara försommar?

Fanny har tagit körkort och i sann Yada Yada culture anda är det en livsomvälvande upplevelse som innehåller ALLA känslor.

Happened In the 90's hosted by Steve and Matt picks a day, any day, and then goes back in time to that magical decade we all know and love the 90's, to revisit episodes of tv, movies that premiered, or cultural events that occurred on that day in the 90's. This week Steve & Matt discuss nerdy Robocops in Chicago &, well, yada yada yada.SEGMENT 1Show: Family MattersEpisode: "Robo-Nerd II” (Season 3 | Episode: 23)Premiere Date: 4/24/1992Story: A reprogrammed Urkelbot is sent to fight crime, and proves to be instrumental in foiling a serial convenience store robber.

Det är bröllopssäsong och frågorna haglar tätt: vad ska man ha på sig? Ska man ha tårta? Vad är inne och vad är ute för bröllop 2025? Fanny och Carin tar sig friheter att hylla, dissa och trendspana allt som rör bröllop i Yada Yada's bröllopsmagasin 2025!

Vi välkomnar vår första gäst till podden: Michaela Hamilton!!! Hon är en blond, storbystad manusförfattare som hade premiär av sin första originalfilm på Netflix 2024, En Del Av Dig. Vi pratar om hur man förhåller sig till det mörka i livet och hur Michaela orkar grotta så mycket i det i sitt skrivande. Vi pratar också om killar, snygga vs fula, hur det är att vara mamma och hur man spår sig själv i chatGPT. Det är inte ett helt orörigt avsnitt :)

Dejtingmarknaden borde vara lite mer som bostadsmarknaden och inte tvärt om!! I veckans program av Yada Yada pratar Fanny och Carin om varför det vore en välgärning om singlar tvingades specificera sitt singelskap mer, varför träning blivit som en drog för Carin och hur fint det är att kunna se sin livskris mer i backspegeln än framför motorhuven så att säga (bra med bilreferenser från två personer utan körkort).

Starlight Thursdays Episode 225. We're thrilled to Import Art Van Delay's export to the series. He's recently moved to Montana from Las Vegas, Not that there's anything wrong with that… And people need to know the truth,so apparently we're doing an interview. How long have you been DJing?  My entire life Nobody is going to be leave that. I mean what are you gonna say when someone asks why you decided to be a DJ?  Well, let me tell you, it's not like I woke up one day and said, "Hey, Art, you know what would be great? Standing in front of a bunch of people and pretending to be cooler than you actually are." No, no. It started out small. I was always that guy who made the mixtapes for road trips, you know? Friends would say, "Art, you have impeccable taste in music," and I'd think, "Yeah, I do, don't I?" Then, one thing led to another. Someone at a party handed me the auxiliary cord. Hold on an Auxiliary cord Come on George. ART its ART! We Gotta Stick To The Story!!!! I'm getting angry!!! Yes, Jerry an Auxiliary cord and boom, I was in control. It was like being the maestro of social interaction. People danced! They actually danced because of me! I thought, "Art, you've found your calling. You're not just a guy who lives with his parents; you're a master of ceremonies, a purveyor of beats, a DJ!" So, here I am, spinnin records, making people move, and thinking, "Maybe this is what you were meant to do all along." It's a delicate balance, like a TV episode—awkward, hilarious, but somehow it just works. Gorge, I mean Art, A maser of ceremonies? But you are a guy who lives with his parents. I mean where have you even been DJing? We'llllll Jerrrry it just so happens I've been DJing at Soup nazi's beats & eats, Festivus fest, Serenity Now! Campout, Electric Kramer Carnival and Crystal Mountain 2024 Art at least half of those festivals you made up. What if someone looks into this. There going to know… Nobody looks into this stuff it happens all the time Jerry. These days DJs just make up social media pages with a bunch of photos with hot women and boom next thing you know off to Spain in a privet jet. I don't think that's how it works George. ART! So you mean to tell me people are supposed to believe you're originally from Detroit, you DJ festivals under the name Art Van Delay and what are you going to tell them when they ask what inspired you to do that?  Inspiration? HA! Let me tell you about inspiration. You know that feeling when you find the perfect parking spot right in front of your building? That's what DJing is like for me. It's a moment of pure, unadulterated victory. So Art, what's the deal with this electronic music culture stuff anyway, I mean it's music and its culture, I just don't understand?  Okay Jerry, It's all about the freedom, the energy, and sheer unpredictability. First off, the people. You've got all these folks from different walks of life, coming together in this crazy, pulsating environment. It's like a big, dysfunctional family reunion, but with better music and less judgment. You look around, and everyone's just there to have a good time, to escape the mundane, to dance like Elaine without anyone caring. Then, there's the music itself. It's like this endless buffet of sounds and beats. You never know what you're gonna get, but somehow it all works. It's like the electronic music gods decided, "Hey, let's throw a little bit of this, a little bit of that," Yada Yada and boom! You've got a masterpiece. It's chaotic, it's beautiful, it's… well, it's life Jerry And the technology! The gear, the lights, the visuals—it's like living in the future. Who wouldn't be inspired by that?  So, yeah, electronic music culture inspires me because it's a wild, unpredictable ride, just like a day in my life. It's about finding those moments of joy and letting loose, and in the end, isn't that what we're all looking for? For More Art Van Delay check out https://soundcloud.com/djartvandelay
