Ladies & Tangents
by Ladies & Tangents | Para Pods
A community for people who hate leaving the house but also want friendship. Talking about things we find fascinating or don't understand & almost certainly getting completely sidetracked along the way with well, tangents.
Episodes
-
That made me sick in the most delicious way - LISTENER GHOST STORIES
If you're new here, we read listener stories and occasionally, they're themed. It's spooky season so for all of our creepy lovers, this episode of listener submissions is ghost themed. Unfortunately for Jeri, they are written incredibly well and their goal of making her cry tears of fear was...

Messy people, saving the world - ACCIDENTAL INVENTIONS
Did micro waves just melt that chocolate in your pocket or are you just happy to see us? Some of the most useful and influential inventions in history happened on complete accident. We found a history.com article that outlined some of the most insane discoveries in the medical, culinary and...
-
It’s either this or I cheat on you - GAME NIGHT
Game night is usually reserved for our friends after dark, but we were feeling a little nostalgic for our earlier content and decided to bring the silly goofy sleepover vibes to the main feed. Play along with us as we try to match answers in the game Blank Space! THANKS SPONSORS- Let Rocket Money...

Me and my submissive milkers - DESTINY VS GROWTH BELIEF
If you listened to last week's episode you'll remember that the psychology quiz we took introduced us to some new vocabulary- vocabulary that we have decided will periodically be the topic of one of our episodes. This week we're starting with a doozy and covering Destiny vs Growth Belief. When...
-
Permission to boink? - PSYCHOLOGY QUIZZES
We're always fascinated by psychology and human relationships, sometimes a little too fascinated to the point where one of us was emotionally depleted from listening to 9/11 voicemails. Because of this, we decided to use our brains at half mast and take quizzes on psychologytoday.com PSYCHOLOGY...
-
We'll poke ya and pork ya - SNAPPLE MYTHS
Remember that one episode where we read snapple facts? Well, it turns out that not every snapple fact is created equal. We discovered (with the help of an online article) that some of these declarations aren't even fact at all, some being disproven by the Myth Busters themselves. Is this an…

We will always love you - DOLLY PARTON HERSTORY
We lost an absolute legend this past week. Dolly Rebecca Parton has been changing the lives of those around her for decades and on this weeks episode, we want to highlight her story. It is a rags to riches story we could all learn from. Dolly helped the world learn to love, laugh and learn to…

Thick honk of salami - ASKING ANYTHING
Ciara planned an education mental health episode, but unfortunately, both of us came down with a case of the sillies and instead of being informative, we answered questions from a women's health mag article. It says to prepare for gut busting conversations- they must not be aware that our…

Not my fish, not my aquarium - LISTENER SCANDALS

I’m not trying to mince meat here, but the proof is in your pudding - IDIOMS
When scrolling turns from dissociation to inspiration, you get an episode about a topic that was probably covered in 7th grade when we weren't paying attention. Today we're rediscovering idioms and where looking into where the heck they came from. If you like to vibe with us for the tangents…

Just lucky girl things - THE BURNT TOAST THEORY
No one gaslights us like we gaslight us. We're not down with toxic positivity, but we are down for a coping skill and that's exactly what the Burnt Toast Theory aims to do. We're helping ourselves reframe our daily minor inconveniences without throwing glitter at things that aren't meant to…
more -
No, no, no don't do that! - OBSESSION
We don't often like to talk about pop culture before we certain everyone has caught up but we happened to be OBSESSED with this current pop culture phenomenon- pun freaking intended. Ciara is single handedly bringing our entire corner of the world into the fandom, whether you wanted to or not.…

-
Rub some dirt in that death and get over it - DISENFRANCHISED GRIEF
If imposter syndrome had a baby with grief, it would be named Disenfranchised. After experiencing life, we've learned loss is as inevitable as love but not always treated with the same amount of understanding and care. Shoutout to therapy for teaching us there's a word to describe the feeling of...
-
When I look at you, I see rust, I say decay - PARSONS PARTY
It's a Parsons party of 4! We are in the *in between* of our birthdays and decided to celebrate another year around the sun with the guys that brighten our days. Patreon sent in questions and the four of us answered as many as possible. Even after years together, we all walked away from this...

Amber, if you’re listening, could you tell me you’re not mad at me? - TOURROR STORIES
Ciara finally got a new phone after continuing to shatter the back of it. With only a few shards left in place, she decided it was time to upgrade.

Congratulations, everyone, it's the saddest Mother's Day ever - Mother's Day Special
We asked you to send in stories to celebrate the mom in your life and we wish we wouldn't have. We had to pause not even halfway in to have tissues delivered to the couch to help us get through the rest of the episode. One thing is for sure- mom's are angels on earth and deserve the world. Thank...
-
Things you want to hear right before you wedding - ICKS
Some tiktoks stick with you for years and one about ICKS has lived free in Ciara's head. There's very few things that please her more than a good comment section and this episode is an unhinged as the responses we found. If we were making a personal favorites playlist, this would immediately go...

The scariest thing I saw? My own decision making - SCANDALS
It's almost prom season, so we thought we'd start this April Mash of stories with a horrific high school scarenactment. Things continue to be pretty methed up as the episode goes on, only to end at Disney World. We truly have something for everyone in the smorgesborg of an episode. THANKS…

This is all a joke, except the parts that are real - SCAMMERS

I think I’m going to go home and try to scream - Mental Health Check In

We’ve gotta fight hate with love - Herstory of Marsha P. Johnson
We're celebrating an incredible woman in queer, black and feminine liberation, Marsha P. Johnson. If the name sounds familiar, that's because 1. she's iconic and 2. she was a star discussed in the Stonewall Riot episode. She deserves more time from all of us, so we circled back to tell more of…

He made up potential vehicular homicide - AND I STAYED

He's fully erect and drank all your coffee - OCALA NATIONAL FOREST

How quickly it was dumping on us - Oops All Tangents
We heard you. You like when we don't have a topic and brain dump all over you. Unfortunately, there was a frosty lil biotch named fern who decided that she wanted to drop her 18 inches on our heads, making it impossible for us to get together to record this week. Here is a COVID throwback of…

You know him, you love him, Billy Shakes - The MacB*th Curse
Be advised that this episode is heavy on the tangents. If you're here for some lore and/or history- you'll need to skip ahead about 40 minutes. Give us a break, our name isn't Ladies & Topics for this reason. The topic you ask? Is that the question? After name dropping a certain play last week…

A little part of me will always hate me - DYSBT?
