Episode # 153- Things We Pretend to Enjoy

Not everything is fun, and we're not afraid to say it. This week, we're diving into all the things we just don't enjoy. From small talk and baby showers to sporting events, crowded parks, and a whole pile of other oddly specific annoyances, we're airing our grievances and seeing how many unpopular opinions we have in common.

Episode #152- Porch Talk NUMBER 30

Porch Talk is back and this one spirals beautifully. Do you ever have the problem when every terrible thing seems to happen all at once?? WE DO! Then we get into the school system, how technology is making kids less independent instead of smarter, and why it feels like common sense is slowly leaving the world. Wrapping the episode up with a true crime story that is genuinely awful. It’s chaotic, opinionated, slightly existential, and always all over the place.

Episode #151- Grimm Tales

Fairy tales were never really made for kids… and this week we’re proving it. We’re digging into the eerie world of Grimm fairy tales, the darker versions hidden behind the stories we grew up hearing, and why so many of them feel more cursed than comforting. It’s strange, creepy, violent, and honestly kind of fascinating that they took crazy morbid tales and turned them into stories that we now love.

Episode #150- Common Decency Things That Were Once Normal

This week we’re diving into all the things society changed without us even knowing. From the days of whispering on a cellphone in public like you were handling government secrets… to now hearing someone’s full FaceTime breakup in the cereal aisle. We’re talking about the weird shift in what used to be considered rude, normal, embarrassing, or completely unacceptable. From feral restaurant kids and people blasting videos at full volume, to having full conversations via bluetooth very loudly in the grocery store parking lot, and the slow death of public shame… when exactly did everything change? Pull up a chair while we spiral through modern behavior, old social rules, and the little things that make us all internally scream in public.

Episode #149- Voodoo

Yep you read that right.. something that’s been misunderstood and twisted into something it’s not for a long time. In this episode, we dig into where it actually comes from, rooted in West African spiritual traditions and shaped by history, survival, and resilience. We talk about the real practices, rituals, ancestors, and what those symbols actually mean, while separating truth from all the myths people have run with. How did something so deeply spiritual end up being seen as something dark or scary? And what does it actually look like for the people who practice it today?
