Are You Mad At Us?

Episode 34: Failure

This week we're getting into something that plagues all artists at some point. We're talking about failure, losers! How has failure shaped the art you make? How has your relationship to failure changed over the years? When do you know you've truly failed? Let's do this. And as always, big thanks to our fantastic podcast studio, 4B Studios [https://www.fourbstudios.com/].

Episode 33: On Friendship

This week we reflect on the whole point of the podcast: friendship. With 17 years of friendship in the books, does that make us experts? Possibly! We get into how we became friends, how we've changed over the years, and why some friendships last longer than others. If you're like us and you love friendship, you're going to love this episode. Or you're going to hate it and be mad at us.  Follow Are You Mad at Us? on Instagram and TikTok - @areyoumadatuspodcast Keep up with Mia & Quincy: Instagram - @qledbetter (Quincy) & @miawilsoncomedy (Mia) TikTok - @miawilsoncomedy (Mia) Websites - www.qledbetter.com (Quincy), www.miawilsoncomedy.com (Mia)

Episode 32: We're Not Cooked

Are You Mad At Us?, is a friendship podcast at its core and for this episode we're doing exactly that - we're doing friendship at you. This week we're tackling the sadly common, very much online refrain of "we're cooked." We're getting into it about how collective resignation isn't realism (so knock it off with that shit), and what it means to declare defeat before even getting into the fight. Check it out and tell us what you think, are we cooked? And as always, big thanks to our fantastic podcast studio, 4B Studios [https://www.fourbstudios.com/].
