I Hear You, Babe
I Hear You, Babe is your weekly voice note from someone who overshares for a living.
Hosted by Dino Malvone—founder of SaltDrop, full-time feeler, part-time hater—this pod is where we unpack the mess, the magic, the spirals, and the stuff you should probably still be talking about in therapy.
Some episodes will make you laugh so hard you snort. Others might have you crying in your car outside a CVS. Either way: you’re not alone. I hear you. I got you.
Let’s get into it.

This week on I Hear You, Babe, Dino gets into Hot Takes — the quiet thoughts you have at the kitchen counter, the texts you never sent, the opinions you immediately judge yourself for having.
These aren’t podcast bro hot takes or engagement bait. They’re honest. Messy. Lived in.
Listener emails and DMs roll in on love, friendship, self respect, silence, closure, being “chill,” outgrowing people, and the moment you realize staying loyal to the past can mean abandoning yourself in the present. Dino riffs on what it actually means to grow, to set boundaries, and to tell yourself the truth without turning anyone into a villain.
The episode also touches on grief, compassion, and remembering that you never really know what someone might be carrying when they show up in the world.
If this episode stirred something for you, long emails are always welcome at ihearyoubabepod@gmail.com — the messy ones especially.
And if you’re also into the darker side of storytelling, Dino’s new true crime podcast I Fear You, Babe is now live, exploring unsettling cases through a human, emotionally grounded lens.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re disloyal or just honest — this episode is for you.
I hear you, babe.
