In this episode, Sara recounts the story of her wisdom teeth extraction. It’s better to hear this story in person because she likes to act it out with body language but, alas, podcasts make the acting part impossible. So you’ll have to be satisfied with simply the sound of her voice. Also, she reads other wisdom teeth horror stories. But only a few. She got tired real quickly.
Prompted by a dream a friend had, Sara deep dives into research to see if Elizabeth Olsen is, in fact, a real person or if it’s just Mary-Kate in disguise. The answer may surprise you! (Or it might not. It did not surprise Sara.)

In this episode, Sara discusses her favorite (and least favorite) tropes used in television and literature. She really only covers 4 because she got distracted so much. No one should be surprised by this.
In this episode, Sara gets into the nitty gritty of controversial food pairings. Okay, that’s not totally true. She spends most of the time talking about foods she doesn’t like and her favorite kind of sandwich, but she does cover some controversial food opinions at the very end. So it’s not a complete lie. But it’s probably not that controversial. That’s just in the title for the drama.
In this episode, Sara talks about mythical creatures and whether or not she thinks they exist. If it sounds like a weird episode to you, then you are right. Sara goes on a lot of weird tangents and some comments get a bit dark, but it’s fine. Everything is fine. Don’t worry about it.
In this episode, Sara talks about the many things that annoy her in the Harry Potter movies (which she still loves). Look, book to movie adaptations are hard… she gets that. But things still annoy her. Also, if you haven’t read the books, beware of spoilers. There are a lot. Consider yourself warned.
In this episode, Sara talks about the upcoming Winter Olympics and goes on a tangent about a salacious affair between two coaches at her junior high. The tangent will kind of make sense when you listen to the episode. Like, it’s a leap, but it’s not totally random.
In this episode, Sara talks about her love for Disneyland, mostly because she’s going to be there soon and she can’t wait. She gives you her opinion on her favorite (and least favorite) rides because, let’s be honest—you all desperately want to know. Right? Please let her be right.
In Sara’s tenth episode, she discusses the eligible royal bachelors/bachelorettes around the world. Mostly bachelors. But that’s just because the articles she looked at mostly talked about men. She tries not to mention the Prince of Brunei yet again, but fails. Sorry.
Okay, this might be a massive departure from Sara’s usual episodes, but why not try something new in the new year? In this episode, Sara tries her hand at tarot readings to give her friends some hope for 2022. After all, we can all use a little hope.
In her final episode of 2021, Sara discusses all things Christmas music. She talks about controversial Christmas songs (just 2 of them, but there aren’t many controversial Christmas songs) and wonders if Rudolph is really all he’s cracked up to be. So grab a cup of cocoa, curl up in front of your tree, and enjoy Sara’s opinions on Christmas music. Oh, and have a very happy holiday!
In this episode, Sara was supposed to discuss Hallmark Christmas movies but really only briefly talks about them. She gets distracted talking about a random internet mom that enraged her and the Prince of Brunei’s massive palace. She doesn’t really know how all of those topics fit together either.
In this episode, Sara discusses the relationship between Megan Fox and Colson Baker (aka MGK). The gist of it is: she doesn’t really understand them but wishes them joy nonetheless.
In this episode, Sara just rambles on about Black Friday and whether or not she likes it (spoiler alert: crowds are not her thing). Overall, it’s a very uneventful episode, but they can’t all be exciting, can they?
In this episode, Sara discusses the rest of Taylor’s albums. It’s very long but Sara can’t be contained when talking about her love for Taylor.
In this episode, Sara discusses the amazing lyrics of Ms. Taylor Alison Swift. Because Sara has so much to say about Taylor and her talents (who doesn’t??), this episode only covers Taylor’s first four albums. Don’t worry, she’ll get to the rest next week.
In this episode, Sara goes in depth about the drama on the Disney channel between 2006 and 2010. After recording, she realized this episode was pretty boring, but she was way too lazy to re-record. She’s very sorry.
Sara’s first episode is all about the Jonas Brothers. As requested by a friend, she will be detailing their history as a band, their breakup, their comeback, and her opinions on their music (spoiler alert: she loves it). If you’re a fan of the Jonas Brothers, you’ll (hopefully) enjoy this fun one-woman conversation about how great they are, and if you aren’t a fan of the Jonas Brothers—what’s wrong with you?
