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.

The Rise of Karen and An Awkward Uber Encounter
Welcome to the first episode of the You Can Call Me, Karen pod. This podcast will aim to break down every day topics in an effort to help bring us together rather than divide us.
This week we will discuss the "rise of the Karen"! We will ask the questions: Can we break away from societal labels and stereotypes? Is there value in stereotypes? and Where did the Karen meme even come from?!
