True Friends
an everyday ethics podcast where two true friends discuss the complexities of the everyday decisions we all have to make. From beauty standards to politics, we’re bringing you our hot takes on modern debates and arguing the way only true friends do.
Disclaimer: We acknowledge that we are two white women with our own experiences of identity and privilege and we recognize that this positionality gives us blind spots in these conversations. That being said, this is not a "both sides" podcast and you will never catch us debating human rights, defending billionaires, or justifying hate.
