NEEDS TO BE STUDIED PODCAST
Welcome to Needs to be Studied, the podcast where we unapologetically dive into the wild world of sex, mental health, dating, and relationships. Hosted by the one and only Billy The Bad Guy, we're here to explore all the things your momma warned you about—but with way more laughs and a lot less judgment.
Each week, we bring on guests who spill the tea on their love lives, mental breakdowns, and all the juicy details in between. No topic is off-limits, and no story is too wild. Whether you’re dodging red flags, navigating a situationship, or just trying to keep your sanity in check, we’ve got you covered.
We’re here to remind you that no one has it all figured out, and that’s perfectly okay. So grab your favorite drink, sit back, and get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even learn a thing or two.
