• “Life Is Just So” (w/ Lena Dunham) 15.04.2026 1h 25m

  In a world of Apple conferences, HBO gems, and insightful memoirs around career building experiences, we would be remiss to not remind ourselves that life is just so... so much so that the sisters are joined by Lena Dunham to talk, and mostly quote, one of our great post-feminist works: Girls. And of course Lena's new memoir: Famesick. Which is out now, honey! So get to listening and reading and reading and listening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Also, Grease, Pretty Woman, TGIF culture and connecting with a certain childhood ex-boyfriend through a psychic. All this, growing up alongside an audience, muggy New York City apologism *and* criticism, "dying on that hill" and the boom of the robots that we are all currently experiencing. London! Paris!

• “Wordsmith” (w/ Candiace Dillard Bassett) 25.03.2026 1h 28m

  Amazing things can happen through the power of womanifestation (and gayguyifestation). Fresh off her incredible turn on “The Traitors” and new single “If Only...” is the Wordsmith herself, CANDIACE. Go ahead and make some Deep Space (stream now) for a conversation about taking shots of progesterone on a plane during turbulence, music video budgets, musical influences and the legends in the 6-CD home stereo. I was told somebody was told this is a perfect episode… minus a few corrections Bowen had to make mid-episode via post-recording. Be on the lookout for the IMPENDING classic from the one and only C.D.B!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
