The Life of a Showgirl

from Barely Edited · host Bianca Vena / Lonely Girl Productions Inc.

Episode 27 is what happens when you hit your vape pen and accidentally open every tab in your brain. I start by revisiting all the weird jobs I’ve had — the questionable interviews, the unhinged managers, the “how did I even end up here” moments — and somehow spiral into a conversation about people who are too much.The good kind of too much — funny, loud, magnetic — that everyone loves. Until it flips, and suddenly you’re “too emotional,” “too opinionated,” or “too much work.” Because apparently being human comes with a return policy.I talk about feeling boxed in by what people expect from me on this podcast — how the minute I started talking about Tinder, Bumble, and threesomes, everyone wanted that version of me. But that’s not the only story I have. Being a creator means still showing up when you’re not in the mood, still filming when your hair’s falling out from Mounjaro, and still finding ways to make chaos entertaining.Somewhere between burnout, event planning, and my sister’s Gossip Girl–slash–murder mystery birthday, I realize maybe this episode doesn’t need to make sense — because neither do I right now.Call it unfiltered, call it a breakdown — either way, it’s a show.

Explicit Pick Six Movies Pick Six Movies Pick Six Movies is a movie podcast where each season we select six movies, all related to a single theme. We examine the history of the people in front of and behind the camera, try to make sense of how and why the movie was made, then discuss each one in way too much detail to see if they are any good.Pick Six Movies is hosted by Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, two life-long friends with a shared passion for discussing things they barely understand in an attempt to make each other laugh. Explicit Choice Words with Samantha Bee Lemonada Media We make a lot of choices, every single day. Some explode, some implode, most we barely remember. Each week on Choice Words, Samantha Bee sits down with people she admires to examine the biggest choices they’ve made in their lives and the ripple effects those decisions have had. What’s a story a journalist took a chance on that changed history? A vote that a politician never should have cast? A song lyric a musician came up with in the shower that made them instantly famous? Sam’s made a lot of choices, too. She may have to interview herself about starting this podcast. Explicit Libertarian Friendship Simulator Burning Boots Barely a libertarian show, barely even a show, but 100% simulated friendship Explicit
