She's in the Weeds - Pop Culture and The Female Experience
Every Wednesday hosts and millennial besties, Sam and Hollis, explore and discuss the intersection of pop culture past and present and the female experience. They're here to unpack the good parts, the messy parts, and most importantly, the parts that inform our ideas about being a woman. They get in the weeds each week on the culture that shaped millennial girlhood and follows us into adulthood examining what it teaches us about self-worth, agency and identity. Join them as they share their lives, dish on current pop culture news, review 90s and 00s tv and film, and highlight notable female pop culture icons. Come for the hot takes. Stay for the bestie banter.
