This is your daily reminder to stop being fatphobic. The girlies have a candid discussion on body image, growing up plus sized, & the horrors of finding a bathing suit. They also touch upon medical fatphobia, familial pressure to stay slim, & the ways in which being healthy isn’t always attainable. While you might not see fatphobia affect your life, let this episode is a reminder that it’s everywhere, from dating apps to the Target dressing room.
The girlies are back to discuss The Life of a Showgirl and the infighting that’s killing us all. In podcast-ception, Em & Nala reflect on Taylor Swift’s appearance on New Heights, remembering mostly bread puns and Travis learning new words. They delve into the moral superiority within leftist communities, coming to the conclusion that no one can win ever. Nala turns 22 and Emily does the unspeakable: hands her mic over to a man.
In this episode, the girlies discuss the state of the world, the music industry, and cheese. They engage in a brutal Taylor Swift song bracket. And a ranking of their favorite-things-ever-in-general leads to discussions of frozen yogurt, the Hunger Games, and the best feeling in the world: relief.
It’s two degrees hotter and the girlies are already sweating. Em & Nala drop in to catch up on the 3 P’s: post-grad, pop girlies, & part 2 (of wicked, of course). Tune in to discussions on Nala’s obsession over little indie music boys, Em’s fascination with Mormonism, being a theatre kid in 2025, & the mystery boyfriend one of them found on Bumble.
We have returned from hibernation to bring you our 2025 predictions & rambles on Spotify wrapped, mustache-core, & Nala’s next big venture: bringing back Mac & cheese. And yes, we still think reputation (Taylor’s version) is coming soon.
*insert Cynthia Erivo Defying Gravity riff*
A tale of four Harrys, an accidental super like, hot voice syndrome, and my greatest fear: women. In this episode, Em & Nala discuss all things dating from the perfect first date to the time we tagteamed an evil gaslighter. In true Girl Talk fashion, the conversation dips into existentialist territory with discussions of being a late bloomer, dating as a plus size person, and the dread of being unpalatable to the male gaze.
Brat summer is over, Short n’ Sweet tour is giving us major fomo, & Chappell Roan is speaking about everything. Join Em & Nala as they discuss the current state of the pop girlie community. They also talk Heartstopper season 3 and apologize for the thousandth time for being the most inconsistent podcast on planet Earth.
Ah summer 2024…the summer of running around New York City while the smell of societal collapse lingers in the air. The girlies talk summer plans including Ticketmaster battles, frocking through capitalist hellscapes, and their wildly chaotic trip to see everyone’s favorite Irish princess: Niall Horan.
We’re running with our dresses unbuttoned because the Eras Tour just got a makeover. The girlies finally unpack the Tortured Poets Department and mourn the songs that died for its sins. They then continue their gamer cosplay, discussing the iconic game that is Episode. From dating both Dolan Twins to being too broke to kiss the high school hottie, Em & Nala remind each other that twenty is too old to worry about wearing sweatpants to your wedding.
A veteran Simmer and a clueless Sims wannabe walk into a University of Connecticut classroom to talk all things mods, expansion packs, and 100 babies. Join Nala & Em as they spiral deeper and deeper into the Sims rabbit hole, from the iconic townies to the simlish version of ‘Last Friday Night’ by Katy Perry. The girlies also discuss Coachella, live theater, and having to wear sweatpants to your wedding because you don’t have enough diamonds.
Class is in session with Em & Nala, your favorite girlboss guest lecturers. Today on the syllabus is the girl talk girlies four favorite subjects: movies, feminism, Harry styles, and the fact that some people do not have bootstraps. This feminist analysis of Don’t Worry Darling, Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Hunger Games, and Bottoms will have you laughing, learning, and questioning the structure of society.
The year is 2010 and Liam Payne is scared of spoons. Harry Styles works in a bakery. Niall Horan loves singing Viva La Vida. Louis Tomlinson likes girls who eat carrots. Zayn Malik is preparing to carry the 2010’s on his shoulders. Over a decade later, Em and Nala are still just as obsessed with One Direction as ever. In this Girl Talk special episode, the girlies rehash all of their favorite 1D moments, songs, rumors, and much more.
From screaming so loud they could barely breathe to seeing performers so hot they could barely breathe, Em & Nala recap their particularly slay drag show adventure. They also think deeply about the flop attractions of the internet’s past. More specifically, Emily brings up Willy Wonka Glasgow, which reminds her of Dashcon, which reminds her of Tanacon, which reminds her of Fyre Fest.
The weather outside is frightful, but the girlies summer camp memories are even more frightful. In an attempt to get out of a seasonally-depressed funk, Em & Nala accidentally have a really deep discussion about weight loss camp, feeling like you don’t fit in, child labor, talent shows, yogurt cake, and more! (amongst a short Taylor Swift check-in because duh)
Take a trip back in time with the girlies to the year of galaxy leggings, shaking it off, volunteering for tribute, & asking if okay will be our always. While they were in middle school at the time, Em & Nala remember 2014 extremely fondly. Plus they discuss their theatre kid tendencies and the song that makes them want to rip their ears off and burn them!
Get in losers, the theatre kids are complaining again! From Renee Rapp’s incredible, show-stopping, never the same performance to the songs that make our ears bleed, the girlies talk all things Mean Girls 2024 in this episode. But first, they discuss two other iconic, yet oddly disturbing pieces of media set in the early 2000’s: Saltburn and Tommy Wiseau’s The Room.
As we enter the year of Wicked Part 1, the girlies discuss what they believe the next year will hold. From fashion trends to Ethan Slater looking eerily similar to Frankie Grande, this chaotic chat is full of giggles and ponderings. Nala rants about the multiverse, Emily hates on Wonka, and the two decide whether or not ‘slay’ will be 2024’s biggest casualty.
Spotify Wrapped Day: It’s bigger than the Super Bowl and more anticipated than a rare comet. Like any music-loving, Spotify-dependent girlies, we MUST share our exceptional music tastes with you all. If you’re beyond sick of all the Wrapped graphics on your IG feed, do not fret. Tune in to also hear about Nala’s concert experience in the wasteland/wonderland of New Jersey and the unsettling feeling that hasn’t left Emily since she watched 'May December.'
The girlies sit down to talk about the iconic and disturbing tv show that is Black Mirror. From monkeys that need a hug to evil Matt Damon lookalikes, this show is somehow the best and worst thing they have ever seen. In typical Girl Talk fashion, Em and Nala attempt to share their top three episodes but kinda sorta end up talking about all of them. Other discussions include Grammy predictions and how show-stopping Heidi Klum’s husband looked dressed up as an egg.
1989 (Taylor’s Version) changed lives. From vault track dissections to songs we think are better than the originals, the girlies have much to discuss. We also share our Eras Tour movie experience, admit our stupid financial decisions (that may or may not be cardigan shaped), and pledge our allegiance to Jack Antonoff (and really all celebrities that hail from the debatably great state of New Jersey).
