To Be a Woman, Traveling Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

A new cobbler and Wifi in the car. Kate makes a friend in the airport lounge. Jacqueline makes a frozen snowman cocktail design. The art of not looking lost in luxury spaces, boarding time as the only time, and the international terminal as humanity’s greatest achievement. Everything is potentially interesting and nothing need be quick. Caroline Myss’s Sacred Contracts.

Trip on a Grave Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

Experience Christmas through the lens of a woman. Do the unimaginable: trust one’s taste and execute it in the home. The IKEA parking lot is an office. The threat of the wired sconce. Kate rides high on decisiveness. Jacqueline discloses her recurring Christmas nightmare …again. The burden on Lost & Found doesn’t increase daily. Integrate the dead. As an actor genuine shock may look cliche. Entertain with your rug.

Interpellation Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

Don’t you dare clear the plates so soon. There’s an old joke about women and perfume. A lime scooter is briefly embraced, a Carex sun lamp meets blue blockers, a Whoop fitness tracker gets washed. Strategist over WireCutter but Berlant & Novak over both? The hosts will officiate your wedding at a date of their choosing.

The Fascia’s on You Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

In the fifth episode of the new podcast, a new table groans under the weight of Jacqueline and Kate’s pontifications…

Your vegan patty needn’t cut like meat; just make something good. David Fincher must own up to his 12 pt error. When cabbage lacks the courtesy to rot and cubbies make no promises, reduce your inventory now. The clock is ticking on Kate’s closet build because the theme of the year is just do it. An ADHD sash appears as Jacqueline offers real solutions for real people.

Halloween Peabody Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

It’s the morning after All Hallow’s Eve, and red LED illuminates the path. Costumes constructed to impress a dear friend. A tale of balance unattainable, Jung suggests. The art supply store supplies recommendations the artist ignores. At Zara's place, nary a red tag wags. To soar. To surrender. Having reinvented the box, be fed and satiated. Tears soak through the paywall. Flossed nerves slacken. Kate faces the memory of her first beg.

Wine is Over Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

Kate and Jacqueline are back in the studio, lost in each other’s live gaze. Jacqueline texted a sweet late-night text professing her love for their "hysterical friendship." The two dive into the wine industry's decline, their shared fascination with the paranormal, the story of the "true Annabelle" doll, and play psychic games: Jacqueline pushes "extreme speed channeling" to amp up their telepathic connection. Kate bemoans the dreaded "horseshoe" imprint left on your thighs from too much time on the can.

Internet 2 Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

The hosts are in the swing of the new show and perhaps it’s evidenced by discussions of comfort topics: infrared saunas and Adhd and wanting top tier gear on day 2 of a hobby … in order to make beach grilling dreams a part of life. Fountain pens. Delta lounges and Airbnb late night entry - concerns for a couple of entertainers who work the road. To defend one’s home against damning adjectives. The effects of the camera on hags. To become earphone bros or not. Recording with eyes closed. What medium are we working with here?

Welcome Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

The very first episode of Berlant and Novak, one week after Poog’s untimely demise. A feat by all, hosts and hags alike. The kids got in the car in the middle of the night with little to go on but a dream. A new show, a new world, but it’s the people that make a place home. The excitement of being in person. Staring at each other’s faces, in an elegant void. Yes that was Poog but this is huge. The ego loves to seek but never to find. It was Berlant and Novak the whole time.
