Phil Dunning

Smoggie Queens is our new favorite show, and we're lucky to have the creator and star Phil Dunning on today's episode! You've seen Phil pop up in some of the best shows coming out of the UK: Feel Good, Stath Lets Flats, Am I Being Unreasonable?, Juice, and of course, his own show Smoggie Queens, which just finished its second series on BBC Three (if you don't live in the UK, figure out a way to watch it STAT!). We're calling Phil "the Amy Sedaris of England" because of the wide gap between Phil's sincerity and his characters' grotesquery! We talk all about that, whether Phil needs therapy, how many friends he has (a lot, apparently), secret dating in college, whether you should upload butthole pics to the cloud and SO MUCH MORE!

Kimiko Glenn

We've liked Kimiko Glenn in a bunch of things, so when we saw she was promoting her debut EP Modern Dance (coming soon!!!), we said we gotta have her on the pod! Now, you know Kimiko from Orange is the New Black, the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse films, Hazbin Hotel and of course, if you're a parent, as the voice of Baby Shark, but on today's episode, you're gonna get to know the woman behind those characters. And oh boy, we learn about how Kimiko's desire to make music was a way of processing the shitty men she's dated, we learn about some of those shitty men - and boy are they shitty - we talk about 21st century dating, songwriting as therapy and about the guy who tried to Tom Sawyer her... and SO MUCH MORE!
