Really Going Through It Aspen King, Zoie Vanden Wymelenberg, Meghan Roehrich Welcome to Really Going Through It. A podcast where 3 best friends that are reallyyyyy going through it sit down each week to recap what the hell is going on in their lives. Aspen, Meghan and Zoie are spilling the good, the bad and the ugly of growing up (eh, hem... turning 30) in today's society. We hope to inspire anyone going *through it* with us to grab an iced coffee, plug in some headphones, go on a hot girl walk, and KEEP GOING THROUGH IT.

Explicit Totes Recall Molly Chase, Beth Gibbs, Dan Jaquette and Dan Linden Human memory is flawed and we're here to prove it. On Totes Recall, our hosts Molly Chase, Beth Gibbs, Dan Jaquette and Dan Linden discuss the intricate details of a popular film. The catch? It's been years since they've watched it. Listen as they attempt to recap the plot, pull the names of secondary characters, and make bets whether a vat of acid appears at any point in the film. At halftime, they press the pause button, watch the film and return with answers. Did they nail it? Or, more likely, did they forget the entire second half of the movie? Listen and play along. Make new memories while realizing all of your old ones are full of lies. Explicit
