About this listen

I love you, but we need to talk, bookie. Hosted by yours truly, the one and only India (yes that’s my real name), this is the podcast where pop culture meets the realist, and baddest b*#** you know, unapologetically speaking her mind. We’re taking the most iconic, and sometimes disturbing, pop culture moments, and using them to ask the real questions: What is actually going on? Why do we even care? And what are we all thinking but not saying? Most importantly, what do these moments tell us about our own toxic habits that we try to deny? Ily, but bffr, xoxo.

  • Pretty Faces Aren’t Enough: The Work It Takes to Model & Entertain
    Jun 26 2025

    Let’s be so for real—stepping into any form of on-screen entertainment is way deeper than having a pretty face. In this episode, India sits down with Philadelphia-based photographer and creative director, Justin Bullock from Unspoken Photography to set record straight about models, relying on drugs to create art, and underrated visual artists

    We’re talking:

    💋Why most people can’t do what models and dancers do💋The fine line between using drugz for creativity vs. dependency💋Philly sports hot takes (and also, F#$* Boston)💋Strippers, drink champs, and industry pressures

    💋Shannon Sharpe’s fall from grace, and what it means for black entertainers

    The Philly girl in India really popped out and screamed at y’all in this one. Pretty faces alone don’t cut it, and maybe some of your deep-rooted hate and underappreciation is internalized jealousy. The first step to healing is acceptance, mama. Tune in!

  • Fitness Myths & The Truth About the Wellness Industry
    Jun 18 2025

    Love you, but BFFR — what the media is “teaching” you about wellness is *mostly* a lie designed to steal your monies. My favorite fitness girlie, Jasmine Henry — a holistic health coach, Orange Theory Manager, and certified yoga instructor, joins us to debunk the myths.

    We get into:

    💋 Obsessing over Pilates and cardio won’t get you your “dream” body

    💋 The high-protein everything craze (like the Khloe Kardashian popcorn) and why that alone isn’t enough

    💋 Why developing muscle and improving bone density is more sustainable and realistic

    💋How social media distorts body image expectations to create exclusivity and increase consumer spending

    💋Cultural foods can be part of a healthy diet with modifications.

    💋 The ongoing Tory/Megan controversy and the fight between undercover misogynists and hyper-feminists

    Let’s give a collective middle finger to the fitness and cosmetic industry that’s stealing our monies and self-confidence. Jasmine is breaking down the barrier to long-term health — making it realistic, sustainable, and without pressure to be someone you’re not.

  • The Internet Is A Simulation Curated By Rich People
    Jun 11 2025

    Let’s be so for real—your favorite artist? Character. That NBA bae you fantasize about? He’s an illusion, mamas! In this episode, India and special guest Jerrelle (artist, Gemini, chaos magnet) get real about what it means to perform for survival—and how we’ve all been sold a lie.

    ✨ Here’s what we get into:

    💋 Tupac, and your other father rappers are all Gemini

    💋 How the music industry creates alter egos (and destroys them)

    💋 Behind closed doors at NBA parties, fake relationships, & athletes as in-shape entertainers

    💋 Why entertainers don’t owe us authenticity

    💋 Why the internet is a simulation, and what that says about dating, gender roles, and celebrity worship

    💋 Some unhinged hot takes about sex, cosmetic surgery, and the most compatible astrological signs

    This episode dares to challenge the “authenticity” requirement of entertainers, and pushes us to accept them as what they are, actors, villains, and the heroes we need in our story.
