Today discuss beards (and why we’re both pro-beard), the situation in Venezuela, and spend most of our time talking about the radicalization of women through social media and gender roles in politics. Heads up, the woman of the podcast is probably way more critical and judgmental here.
Courtney had a large amount of Celsius before this episode so if she sounds extra heated, that’s partially why.
Quick plug, again - we REALLY want to hear from you! Please use the chat in substack or reply to our posts here, we’d love to start more of a community around this and get more input from our listeners and focus more on what you’d like/what you are enjoying from us.
