Explicit Dear Overthinker The Podcast Ashley Rose Dear Overthinker The Podcast hosted by Ashley Rose will take you on a journey through the life in the mind of an over thinker. Most of us overthink some aspects of our life but some more than others. Ashley discusses how she overthinks everything in life. She talks about how overthinkers can think a little less and put more action behind the do. Each episode will overthink topics from parenting, dating, current social issues or just a good vent. Explicit The X-Files Podcast LSG Media Dean and Josh love the X-Files almost as much as they love (and simultaneously hate, it's complicated) themselves. Be it their observations, jokes, or wild scenarios - one thing is clear - they will make themselves laugh a lot, but don't worry dear listener - they will have you convinced that it's all about you. The greatest crime and irony of this show is that tons of women show up to the live shows on Mixlr, and lots of the reviews suggest that they hate women (likely written by weird men). Subscribe and you'll love it -- or you'll hate it, but it's something that will stick with you no matter how much you wash. Explicit
