So much is going on in the U.S., and you need a trusted source to sort it all out.

Listen for a recap of current events, the funniest thing Trump has ever done (so far), and our feminist analysis of cat calls. CW: this episode is all about current events, including drag bans, trans legislation, and mentions of abortion and gun violence. Listen with care!
In this episode we dive into everything, including our latest bad luck, fatphobia in medicine, and the imminent TikTok ban that looms over us all. Megan Trainor, you will never be famous! Special shout out to Carly for letting us read some of her online posts from middle school! TW: discussion of weight/medical anti-fat bias from 30:00 to 41:00.

Roni's Song of the Week
Trigger warning: mention of s*icide around 14:40
We love drag and we’re so excited to chat about it! But first, of course, we needed about 20 minutes to complain and chat about our horrible recent travel mishaps— we’re nothing if not consistent! Post-complaining, we play “Who said it: Elena Kagan or Ru Paul” and talk about our favorite queens, iconic drag moments, and our favorite drag shows we’ve ever seen!
Roni’s song of the week!
This week we chatted so much we made an episode of it! Eschewing the planned topic, we instead talk about regional cultural differences, Catholicism, anxiety, and much much more.
You couldn’t get enough the first time around, so we just had to do a second part to our Reddit post advice giving saga. This time, Roni and Allie answer Reddit prompts about gay relationships! Digressions include tech usage in relationships, Allie’s viral tik tok moment, and roni’s fear of living alone.
Roni's Music Corner
You (nobody) asked for our opinions, and we happily oblige (give them unsolicited). After a chat about women being from Venus, a tragic story, Allie’s new (fake) diagnosis, and Roni’s song of the week that made her fling herself across the room, the girls dive into the depths of reddit relationship questions. We talk about job status, recognition, and the absolute insanity of some men out in the world.

You asked and we answered: how are all these folks finding queer community and how can I get in on that! Topics focus on biphobia and bi inclusion in queer spaces, not feeling “queer enough”, and making friends without trauma bonding! Wherever you are in your journey to find queer community, you are valid and belong in queer spaces!!! Diversions include Allie’s ingrown toenail (TW), Roni’s true feelings about Boston, and our true passion for inclusion of ALL queer identities in all queer spaces!!!!!
As two self-proclaimed experts in all things long distance, public transport, and being annoying, Allie and Roni are especially qualified to give out this advice!

Also introducing case and song of the week, where we share our niche interests and complain— what could be better!
Wrong Distance is BACK and better than ever! After a short winter break, Roni and Allie are back together and have lots of mayhem to catch you all up on.

Roni and Allie reflect on the first 20 episodes of the pod. Convos include mailbox moments, corrections from peer-reviewed articles, Allie complaining about being tired, and Roni complaining about movies she's never seen. Sending big thanks and love to everyone who's made this pod special so far!
