Explicit See You On The Other Side Leah & Christine Leah and Christine started a podcast about their healing journeys with psychedelics in 2022. At the time, these subjects were stigmatized and not often talked about on a public platform. But after 3 years of eye opening conversations that would make some people uncomfortable, we realized this space has shifted into something more — a space to safely explore the unknown. We believe the most powerful conversations happen in the gray areas. The ones that make you squirm a little, but leave you seeing the world differently. This podcast is where curiosity meets courage. We’re not here to hand you answers. We’re here to ask the questions that shift perspectives, spark empathy, and remind us that growth starts in the discomfort. Stay curious, be open, and we'll see you on the other side. Explicit Hot White Heist Audible Originals Deep under Seattle’s Space Needle in a hidden bunker sits the most valuable substance on Earth: Barack Obama’s sperm. And Mark Zuckerberg’s. And Stephen Hawking’s. In case of global catastrophe, the US government has been storing sperm samples from some of history’s greatest minds (and also some politicians). This groundbreaking, NSFW romp follows Jude “Judy” Fink (Bowen Yang) and a crew of misfits from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum as they attempt the stickiest heist in history. Why? To help a lesbian cult finance a top-secret project, of course. Featuring an all-star, all-queer cast, Hot White Heist is the first and only podcast about a sperm bank heist.
