Real Talk With Robert Daniels Robert Daniels It's a real and very honest glimpse into the life of a man who has gone through in a year what most don't face in a lifetime. He somehow made it out of deep suicidal depression, to only learn that everyone he once loved and cherished had turned their back on him. Falling back on his crutch, alcohol, he soon fell deep into drug addiction when the alcohol wasn't enough. Now as he's trying to climb back out of the swamp his loved ones threw him in, he promises to write the greatest redemption story ever written in front of your eyes. Through it all, he's still one funny MotherFucker! Explicit My Terrible Twenties Wendy Z. You're a 20-something year old who made it out of 2020. You sleep about 5 hours a night, accidentally pour wine instead of coffee creamer, and still waiting on that person you texted 3 days ago to text you back. Just looking forward to the day you finally have it all 'figured out' like the true adults used to tell you. Navigating the best and worst years of life thus far with conversations that will make you laugh, cry, learn something new, or all of the above! Welcome to your Terrible 20's. Instagram: @myterribletwenties Explicit Not Your Little Lady Allison Carter Not Your Little Lady is a podcast featuring women living outside of the South's socially accepted norms. Listen and relate as we laugh, cry and share stories about facing obstacles and how it feels to come out on the other side. We will talk about things that piss us off, the booze we like to drink, and historical women who have made a difference. Topic experts will give advice and relay realistic steps on how to implement it in our daily lives. We'll explore the importance of women owning their past, present and future while keeping it light and funny, like a lady will do. Explicit Big Little Podcast biglittlepodcast What began as a wine-fueled recap of HBO's "Big Little Lies" has become...well, a wine-fueled recap of other dramatic shows starring Reese Witherspoon and/or Nicole Kidman (it's a niche, okay). Check out our recap of Hulu's "Little Fires Everywhere" – according to one reviewer on Apple Podcasts, "They actually made this awful series fun" – HBO's "The Undoing" or listen to our current season covering Hulu's "Nine Perfect Strangers."
