Scraping By
by Alex Holden and Cassidy Caprari
Join Alex and Cassidy every Thursday on Scraping By, the podcast where we tackle the chaos of being in your twenties and trying to adult in a world that makes no sense. Each week, we dive into the real struggles of navigating life, from current social issues to the everyday horrors of "figuring it all out." Whether we’re sharing funny stories, dissecting current events, or simply enjoying a much needed yap sesh, we're here to try to make sense of the world — and maybe laugh a little. If you're scraping by just like us, you’ll feel right at home.

Evidently I Don't Know How Anything Works
This week we considered some different concepts that we don’t understand (plants, engines, snowflakes, WiFi, etc.). We realized we have no idea how anything works, and with some things we’d like to keep it that way! We are awed by some things in the world and we don’t need to know how they…

George Washington Invented the Telephone, Right?
This week, we put our American knowledge to the test by taking the civics portion of the U.S. citizenship exam. With only one-third of Americans able to pass, we wanted to see if we’d make the cut (some of the questions were… humbling). We also discuss the real barriers the two-part test can…

Shoutout to My Fellow Radicals Who Think People Should Have Housing

Getting Some Tattoos and Sliding Into Authoritarianism
This week, we took a fun little road trip to get Cassidy some tattoos. The drive back, however, was a true test of our survival skills. We also chat about our week, including whatever deranged AI hell Donald Trump has been posting as well as the disgusting actions of American companies. Spoiler:...

It’s Gotten to a Place of Psychics
This week we’re discussing crashing out, Alex’s recent psychic reading, and how we’re finding joy where we can. If you’re feeling deeply unhinged yet also hopeful, you’re not alone. Life is hard, but somehow we still find reasons to laugh—probably because we have no other choice! **Correction**…

Karl Marx, If You See This, Please Save Us
This week, we're talking about how Karl Marx high key ate, why healthcare in the United States is a scam and Tik Tok's favorite hitman Luigi Mangione. We may not have the answers or know what to do about the horrors of late-stage capitalism, but we break down some of Marx's theories and share…

I Had to Clock Out Because of the Stench
This week, Alex and Cassidy play We’re Not Really Strangers. Grab a drink, light a candle, or maybe touch some grass, and join us for a laid-back episode where we answer questions about ourselves in the hopes of giving you a better glimpse into who we are as people and friends. We shared our…

Dating Is Hard, But Have You Tried Not Joining a Hate Group?
What do you do when dating doesn’t go your way? Work on yourself? Try again? Or… descend into a rabbit hole of misogyny, conspiracy theories, and self-pity? In this episode, we’re breaking down the Manosphere, where incels, red-pillers, and black-pillers unite in their shared frustration with...
