Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

Beth & Wendy are back together after a little break, and it’s one of those cozy, thoughtful catch-ups you didn’t know you needed! They talk real-life stuff (new-year burnout, work-life balance), lean into what brings them joy, dip into pop culture, react to current events, and read listener letters that remind us why community matters so much. Add in some laughs, light news, and personal stories, and you’ve got a warm, reflective episode that still knows how to have fun. Come for the cultural commentary, stay for the joy! This episode was edited by Minnie Williams. Look alive, y’all, it’s crazy out there!
