Your Weekly Breakdown | Podcast Guru

Details

This is Your Weekly Breakdown – the silly and (sometimes) smart podcast for busy women. If you’ve shown up at a dinner party or meeting and not known what on earth people are talking about, then pull up a chair, baby, you’re at the right table. You'll feel like you're snuggled up on the couch chatting with your smart friends, or catching up with your girlfriend at a coffee shop while she fills you in on the latest drama. Each week, join hosts Caitlin Howden and Emily Key to chat about cultural conversations and news, make fun of the latest pop culture happenings, rant about life’s minor inconveniences, judge each other’s style and life choices, and maybe interview a guest or 2. If you’re the kind of person who needs to know what the hell is going on in the world, wants to hear a hot take on the latest prestige TV, or just get a great recommendation for new music to listen to or book to read over the weekend, you’ve found your people.

It’s silly, smart, slightly chaotic, and somehow covers Rent, Ray-Bans, corpse fat, Ottawa police, Olivia Wilde, and the emotional support of yelling “get the Flock off our streets.” Come for the chitty chatty, stay for the oddly com...

They also discuss Bumble's new AI dating assistant, FDA-recalled "sexual enhancement" chocolates, women's hockey victories, comfort food nostalgia, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is absolutely nothing at all. It's your usual mix of humour, skepticism, and side quests....

"Under-babied" and Moms.gov, Peptides, Fake celeb feuds, Women in Sports, + Yelling at men
