Easy Listening

Easy Listening - Ep. 137 - JEW-ISH THOUGHTS ON JEWS

The only title that is more uncomfortable to say out loud than Adventures with Dead Jews, is perhaps People Love Dead Jews. These are the titles of Dara Horn’s Book and companion podcast. Speaking of uncomfortable, Dara isn’t afraid to point out all the reasons the mainstream christians love Anne Frank…but only up to the point where she was caught by the Nazis. G & T walk you through this experience.

Easy Listening - Ep. 136 - The Dark Side of Modeling: This S*it Never Gets Old

Fallen Angel is a new podcast series documenting the origin story of Victoria’s Secret. Secrets uncovered include: models have to be skinny and it leads to eating disorders! The modeling industry is filled with skeezy people! Sometimes, models are treated poorly! So, this series isn’t exactly breaking any news. It’s not solving any crimes. And yet, they couldn’t stop listening to it.

Easy Listening - Ep. 135 - Dude, Maintain!

The diet industry is a cash cow that makes billions of dollars a year promising instant results and a brand new you. We’ve all fallen prey to one cure-all or another. And some of them work…for a time anyway. The Maintenance Phase podcast promises to debunk the junk science behind health fads. And as we approach the season of overeating, shame-binging and mindless holiday grazing, it’s nice to know we’re not alone, we’re not broken, and we’re certainly not bad people.

Easy Listening - Ep. 134 - Covid, Whiskey and Alec

This week, Teresa Strasser explains the unusual way her dad got COVID. Gina Grad shares some audio from a very intoxicated Vegas podcast episode. And both hosts discuss the ongoing conversation about the tragic accident on set involving podcaster Alec Baldwin. It’s Easy Listening, a podcast about podcasting (and podcasters!).

Easy Listening - Ep. 133 - You Don’t Seem Like Yourself

It’s officially time for terrifying stories of body snatchers and cautionary tales about exorcisms…it IS spooky story season after all. And nobody does it better than Glynn Washington over at Snap Judgment who rolls out the red carpet for their SPOOKED episode around this time of year. But sometimes these stories don’t fit neatly into the weeks leading up to halloween. There are times when we all scare ourselves by acting like somebody else. That day is today. Gina Grad and Teresa welcome you to the show.
