Acerca de Scraping By

Join Alex and Cassidy every Thursday on Scraping By, the podcast where we tackle the chaos of being in your twenties and trying to adult in a world that makes no sense. Each week, we dive into the real struggles of navigating life, from current social issues to the everyday horrors of "figuring it all out." Whether we’re sharing funny stories, dissecting current events, or simply enjoying a much needed yap sesh, we're here to try to make sense of the world — and maybe laugh a little. If you're scraping by just like us, you’ll feel right at home.

George Washington Invented the Telephone, Right?

This week, we put our American knowledge to the test by taking the civics portion of the U.S. citizenship exam. With only one-third of Americans able to pass, we wanted to see if we’d make the cut (some of the questions were… humbling). We also discuss the real barriers the two-part test can create for those seeking U.S. citizenship. It’s important to know some things, but the reasons Ben Franklin is famous shouldn’t be at the top of the list. Join us!

Shoutout to My Fellow Radicals Who Think People Should Have Housing

This week Alex and Cass broke down the houseless crisis, particularly in Oregon, and the many factors that fuel it— cost of living, lack of affordable housing, etc. Fair warning, it's bleak and we don't have a solution, but talking and thinking about it is a step in the right direction.

Getting Some Tattoos and Sliding Into Authoritarianism

This week, we took a fun little road trip to get Cassidy some tattoos. The drive back, however, was a true test of our survival skills. We also chat about our week, including whatever deranged AI hell Donald Trump has been posting as well as the disgusting actions of American companies. Spoiler: they all suck!. And, of course, we try to figure out what we can actually do about the political chaos. Join us!
