from Pretty Furious · host Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett and Mallory Hagan

This week, Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett & Mallory Hagan return to Pretty Furious after a brief hiatus! Mallory is a new mom and welcomed her sweet baby boy a month ago. We dive into some significant moments we missed: cuts to SNAP benefits; the Trump administration’s proposed push to end gender-affirming care for trans kids; Charlie Kirk & Turning Point USA chapters on college campuses; that weird as fuck hug between Erika Kirk & JD Vance; being a new mom in America; the new White House ballroom; and so much more.

Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations.

Explicit Tuesday Knight Podcast | All About Board Games Tuesday Knight A community driven podcast about the stories we make while playing the games we love on, around, and under the gaming table. This podcast includes: stupid stories, a stupider host, dumb gaming news, elevator pitches for games, and some inside perspectives about running a game company. Join Alan Gerding and Sean McCoy (creators of the hit game "Two Rooms and a Boom"), along with a ragtag community of tabletop friends as they discuss pretty much anything that is remotely related to board games. You too can become a knight by emailing your own gaming story to [email protected]! Explicit Elfchild's Panda Show Justin and Dani Meet Justin and Daniel. They've been together for a billion years. Justin curses a lot and says things that make him seem like a jerk, but he's a pretty nice guy. Daniel is just as awesomely friendly (and dorky) as he appears. Their episodes aren't released on a particular schedule, but they always come back eventually. They don't usually have a set topic, but they try (and often fail) to stay on a certain track. Listen to their audio! Listen, I say! Explicit
