You Can Call Me, Karen
You Can Call Me Karen is caught in the middle—too young for Gen X, too tired for Gen Z. Hosted by Manni, Steph, and Karen, three sharp-tongued friends raised on dial-up tones and Dawson’s Creek, the show unpacks the pop culture that shaped the ‘90s and early 2000s. With wit and candor, they dissect the contradictions of coming of age in that era, never afraid to channel their inner Karen if it means saying the quiet parts out loud. No advice, just real talk: a bold, funny, side-eye-laced ride through nostalgia, modern womanhood, and the messiness in between.

Cancel Culture & Corporate Boycotts: Do They Work?
Welcome to the You Can Call Me Karen Podcast! In this first episode of our two-part series on cancel culture, we explore the history of boycotts and the growing trend of “canceling” businesses. Is it effective to cancel companies over controversial actions? What are the consequences of this type of protest? We examine the evolution of corporate boycotts and its role in activism. Tune in as we discuss whether canceling businesses truly drives change or simply creates publicity for the organization with questionable practices.
