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 is I Hear You, Babe.
Today we’re legislating.
From men leaning on subway poles and blocking three handholds, to $19 smoothies with 25 percent tip screens, to finance bros walking shoulder to shoulder like they own Manhattan — this is Things That Should Be Illegal: NYC Edition, Vol. 2.
We get into subway etiquette, dating app emotional hedging, coffee shop laptop squatters, public couple fights, group texts that never die, and the unhinged behavior of people who stop at the top of subway stairs.
But underneath the chaos and comedy, we talk about something real: claiming space, holding your line, boundaries, and why pretending not to care is the most dangerous New York habit of all.
If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, under caffeinated, and deeply aware on a Manhattan sidewalk — this one’s for you.
