What’s the difference between casual fandom and a full blown obsession? To Brooke Averick, they’re one and the same. Each week, Brooke explores one of her deeply held obsessions. And she certainly has plenty of them. Sometimes, her friends will even stop by to share their own intense fandoms, too! From Harry Styles, to Broadway, to her dream of playing a corpse on “Criminal Minds” next to Matthew Gray Gubler, one thing is for sure: Brooke is obsessed. And honestly? So are we. This is the show for people who can’t like things a normal amount.

I have always felt like there is so much pressure in your twenties to get your life figured out, but in reality, does anyone ever have it truly figured out? I'm done with the pressure so instead I am going to walk around with the most delusional mindset and watch everything fall into place in my life. Dreams turn into reality when you focus on them, so will your not so "delusional" thoughts. Delulu Central is my digital diary where I bring you guys along all of my crazy life experiences, past and present. I share my friendship struggles, failed relationships, dating drama and more.

Join author, actor, and funny lady Robin Hopkins as she helps guests manage stress, set some boundaries, find a new apartment, and save a dime or two.

Robin’s disarming, connected, and forthcoming style allows her guests to open up about what’s really behind all that self-sabotaging. Well…Adjusting is not NPR. It’s not credentialed. But it is honest talk about real problems Millennials face today. And did we mention it’s funny?

In the 1930s, Lucky Luciano, one of American history’s most notorious mobsters, was finally taken down by a rookie prosecutor. Eunice Carter was one of the first Black Women ever to become a prosecutor in America. She operated from the heart of the Harlem Renaissance to navigate the corrupt world of downtown Manhattan politics, and a deeply racist and sexist pre-civil rights American society. But her pioneering role in what became known as the “trial of the century” has been forgotten by popular history. Hers is the story of a writer, social worker, mother, teacher, sister, socialite, political candidate, community organizer and unheralded pioneer. This eight part immersive podcast is hosted by poet and writer, Nichole Perkins. It tells the story of Eunice Carter: a bad-ass anti-hero unafraid to bend the rules in pursuit of ambition, justice and legacy.
