Hot Talkolate Podcast: Recent Episodes

episode 10!! double digits y'all!!! this is my first Vandy episode and i hope to have so many more in the coming years. Priya and I talk the best and worst parts of our first semesters, our experiences at WOC at PWIs, and how we've adjusted to college life during a pandemic. we filmed socially distanced with masks on so the audio isn't super clear/steady throughout the episode but i hope to get the hang of recording and editing this way until it's safe to go back to doing this the old way :)
enjoy & keep sipping.
this episode is a bit heavier but i hope that it's one of those dialogues that sparks necessary conversation. things are tough right now, especially as a young, {B}IPOC person in America. today, we uplift and amplify black voices and share black stories.
notice: this episode has an explicit label for a one-time use of the n-word
Episode 8 is finally here!! I had it recorded for the longest time and then the laptop that I record on got a virus. ironic. Anyway, I have a short and sweet episode with none other than my pops. We talk about music, our upbringings, and how he's going to cope without his angel baby around. But yes, hope we can brighten up your time spent at home by welcoming you into ours. Hope you enjoy it!
Episode 7 coming to you from my house! That's where I've recorded all the other ones but this time, I had no choice! I had people send me questions to answer and that's exactly what I've done. I talk about my fear of bugs, what I've been doing with allll this free time, and I let you all know that Auntie Marian is the best aunt I've got in town :) Hope you're all doing well in the middle of this mess, S/O to those in health and medicine!!!!
Episode 6 with my girl, Tera!! We talk about our experiences at PWIs (predominantly white institutions), our favorite black artists, and life with African parents. We've been blessed with an extra day of BHM this year so I'm taking advantage and uploading it on Feb. 29th because I won't be able to do that until I'm literally in my twenties.
Episode 5 with my mom! After a change in platforms (bye Soundcloud) I am back with another one! We chat about college, moving out, and what a stubborn little kid I was. Plus, we get a fun, impromptu call from my grandma. Good old heartfelt episode and my mom takes all of y'all to CHURCH. Hope you enjoy it :)
I am back!! Technical difficulties (broken laptop, anyone?) pushed me back a bit but I think I've got it all figured out and I am so ready to keep recording and posting episodes for y'all! Thanks for listening to me and Gretchen ramble about SATs, APs, and Pizza Hut :)
What's up listeners? Today's episode is a little bit different but I definitely had a super fun time recording it. I'm joined by my friend Amelia as we talk about what it's like going into our senior year, Disney remakes, and dropping out. It's a good one and we hope you like it :)
Episode 2 is here!! My good buddy Sanjana and I are discussing cultural appropriation and stereotypes and our specific experiences as young women of color. Also cited a bit of Urban Dictionary so you KNOW that this is peak academic content.
The very first episode of Hot Talkolate!! This one is all about middle school and features a little bit of intra-Gen Z-beef between me and today's guest, Simone. Also includes a little bit about my experience in middle school, garnished with some delectable 2000s kid personality.
