Swole Sisters
by Kerri Donnelly Bettina Warshaw
Meet the Swole Sisters: Bettina and Kerri. Bettina is a beer-swigging, drum-playing rocker whose ideal form of cardio is performed in a mosh pit. Kerri is a seasoned athlete and quidditch player--yes, you read that right--who uses the gym as an excuse to cancel plans with people she doesn't like.Each episode, we'll sweat through a different workout, while also sweating the bigger stuff like shifting beauty standards, the frailty myth, and the fragility of "self-improvement."

Episode 15: Do You Remember Man Yogurt?
Hey. We're still here. This episode was recorded in a simpler time, back when Kerri couldn't quite figure out the spike in her anxiety and Bettina had the grumps just 'cus. So we take to Row House with bellies full of tuna fish, to discover that water is probably an important part to the whole...
