Softblock, the Podcast

A podcast about girlhood, community, and talking about things—big and small. Abbey and Michelle overthink out loud, balancing humour, nuance, and a little bit of chaos. Smart but not try-hard, fun but not fluff. No shame, no guilt, just good conversation and a space to figure it all out together.

    Ep 30. "A is for Angry!!!!!!!!"

    Imagine having two incredibly eventful, impactful months and then just talking in circles like you usual do? You don't have to imagine - because we're doing it for you.  Today, Abbey and Michelle are finally back together in their living room. Discussing dating, commercials, and people just being plain-ol'-mean, it's good to be back and on the mic.  We're going to start asking y'all questions of the week.

    Ep 29. "Split Ends"

    Hello from Toronto! Hello from Halifax! Can you hear us from all the way over here/there?  Okay, we actually recorded this episode in March. We sat across each other in our living room. But the anticipation of separation was just too much. God forbid two besties wish to experience everything together!!!!!!! This week, we talk about The Artist's Way, Abbey's Graduate program, exes, and slowing down. It's a lot of introspection and just a touch of judgement. We're finding the balance.

    Sometimes you have to be a little behind on reporting. The Academy Awards, our one year anniversary, the start of spring??? Been there.

    Ep 26. "In Sickness And"

    Is it just us, or is it cold and flu season like all the time?  This week, Michelle and Abbey are hot off the birthday press, and they're keeping it casual. Maybe it's nonchalance.

    Ep 25. "Making Move(ment)s"

    It seems like anyone can just say anything these days. Everyone has a platform. Everyone is starting a movement. If you can't beat 'em, why not join 'em?  This week, Michelle and Abbey create a hypothetical "movement," and somehow in the process, prove that they may actually have the talent (or just the audacity) to be really good cult leaders.  All in good fun, babes!

    Ep 24. "Weekend Update"

    It can't be all bad, can it? It can't be all good.... can it? Or must we be one thing all the time?  This week, Michelle and Abbey cover a lot of ground. Kind of like the snow in Toronto. But hopefully less cold and less dreadful.  As the days start getting longer, we're hoping we can all make it to the other side.  But for now, be there for your neighbours. Leave the house.

    Ep 23. "Year of the Four Horsemen"

    Signals, warnings, omens - all of us have tell-tale signs when something is about to go off the rails.  This week, Michelle and Abbey list their personal "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" - instances that may warrant a check-in from a friend before the inevitable crashout occurs. In the wise words of Michelle, who is writing this right now: "What matters not is the demon, but how we exorcise them before they possess our digital footprint." (So far so good.)

    We're back! We never went anywhere! We can be both things! Something about us is that we're always going out, experiencing life, transforming, and recording anew. What a beautiful thing to bring to the studio (Abbey's bedroom; on the floor; with our tiny microphones).  This week, Michelle and Abbey reflect on the past few weeks and cast a fake spell with good intentions for the near future.

We know your cellphones are oversaturated with happy hours, and cold plunges, and pizza rankings. But what about the places we walk past that make us die a little inside? Where are the influencers talking about corn allergies and street empanadas (quite literally).  This week, Abbey and Michelle go through their dating history and share their 10 Toronto "Not Spots."

    Begone seasonal depression and hello seasonal depression for women who get sad in the Summer (and are exponentially cooler and hotter).

    Ep 3. "Bestie Battle"

    The girls are FIGHTING. This week Abbey and Michelle go head to head with their thoughts and opinions - what's new? It's a friend-fight, a chum-championship, a bestie-battle. The challenge: pick the best or BE the best.  The rules are simple: When given an infamous group, you must choose the best thing or person in that list. If you choose something different, you must explain why your option is the best. If you choose the same, you must explain why YOU'RE the best. It makes sense once we get started, we promise.  This week, the girls ask: Who Is Your Champion? What Is Your Bias? And Who Is The Worst Beatle?  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

A podcast about girlhood, community, and talking about things—big and small. Abbey and Michelle overthink out loud, balancing humour, nuance, and a little bit of chaos. Smart but not try-hard, fun but not fluff. No shame, no guilt, just good conversation and a space to figure it all out together.

HOSTED BY

Abbey & Michelle

Produced by Abbey Humphreys-Morris & Michelle Blight
