    Dec 15 2025
    This episode we’re unpacking something we all feel but never really name: coolness as a whole social system. Yep — it’s deeper than outfits and vibes. We unpack who gets celebrated, who gets copied without credit, and how and why 'cool' is political. This show was broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin oar.org.nz

    bougie, black + complicated
    Dec 1 2025
    We’re spilling the tea on Black elitism: what it is, how it’s different from Black excellence, and why wealth, status, and luxury don’t automatically equal liberation. From Martha’s Vineyard summers to Beyoncé and Jay-Z, HBCUs to Jack & Jill, we unpack history, culture, and nuance—because understanding Black success is more complicated than just who’s winning.

    Nov 17 2025
    A deep dive into matcha’s rise as a “clean girl” staple — and what gets lost along the way. We unpack cultural appreciation vs. appropriation, whiteness in wellness, and how capitalism reshapes ancient traditions. If you love matcha but care about cultural respect, responsible engagement, and decolonizing wellness, this episode is your fresh, nuanced guide to enjoying cultural practices without erasure.
