Media Diet: What Culture Have We Been Consuming

Did you miss us? Jerwin and Elizabeth discuss their Q1 and Q2 media diets, aka what parts of culture have we been absolutely gobbling up in the first half of 2026! Topics discussed include: being scared of Big Muffin, the joy of hunting down 7 seasons worth of dvds of a TV show from 30 years ago, and Jerwin's footwear of choice for summer (warning: scary). Rapture is a podcast hosted by Jerwin Gabriel Santiago and Elizabeth Wayne, two timeless Chicago beauties who are young for their grade. Join them every other week as they put off going to grad school by plunging the depths of culture, film, and whatever Nietzsche was talking about. If your biggest regret was wearing Toms in middle school or the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are your Jungian archetypes, then hiiiii!
