To celebrate the spooky season, the girlies explore the world of psychics and spiritual mediums. They consider crucial questions such as: are psychics gifted visionaries or just talented scammers? Can ghosts be seen in photographs? Did spirits from the other side really endorse feminism? Is celebrity medium Tyler Henry the only true spiritualist? Digressions include things psychics should under no circumstances be allowed to tell you, our experience with spiritual scams, and one listener’s spooky premonition.

The girlies review the most unhinged book they’ve ever read, in which a green-haired liberal is saved from Antifa by a proud MAGA man. Tracking down a copy of this book was a journey in and of itself, but it was worth it — we’ve since become enlightened to the evils of feminism, hair dye, tattoos, and the woke mind virus.

The girlies wrestle with the phenomenon of the iPad Kid. They delve into the research around child psychology and children’s programming to answer the important questions: Was children’s entertainment always this bad? How detrimental is the iPad to a growing child’s brain, really? And, why can’t you zoom in on things IRL? Digressions include some lovely Fall Behavior and the philosophical musings of one listener that inspired this episode’s title.

The girlies break down the establishments that plague our neighborhoods and corporatize our lunch hours: fast casual restaurants.

The girlies investigate our modern-day digital panopticon through an exploration on the history of surveillance in the US. From wiretapping to Watergate to hidden AirBnb spyware, Americans have been accustomed to and unsettled by being watched for decades. Digressions include the 2016 vibes and a pig named Heidi Klum.
This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Eliza Mclamb and edited by Allison Hagan. Research assistance from Penelope Spurr.
NOTE: This episode mentions the role of surveillance in cases of police brutality. We wanted to note that it was recorded before the horrific murder of Sonya Massey by the police — a tragic reminder, as mentioned in the episode, that surveillance alone is rarely enough to provoke justice. Our thoughts are with the Massey family.
