Description

I love you, but let's be so forreal. Hosted by yours truly, the one and only India (yes that’s my real name), this is the podcast where pop culture meets the realist, and baddest b*#** you know, unapologetically speaking her mind.

We’re taking the most iconic, and sometimes disturbing, pop culture moments, and using them to ask the real questions: What is actually going on? Why do we even care? And what are we all thinking but not saying? Most importantly, what do these moments tell us about our own toxic habits that we try to deny? Ily, but bffr, xoxo.

The girls discuss how attractiveness impacts everything from your social life to your career, and debate on if not using it is a waste of God given favoritism. Whether it's Fox Sports Analyst Joy Taylor allegedly using her looks to become a prominent sports commentator, or WNBA star Liz Cambage making more on OnlyFans in one week than she did during her ENTIRE six years playing professional basketball, being a pretty woman clearly counts for a lot. *Plus five* if your pretty privilege intersects with other forms of privilege. But like all things in life, using it doesn’t come without a cost. Tune in to find out how.  Follow us ⁠@anothergirlspodcast⁠ Hosts ⁠@gwenergyyyy ⁠@theindiajade⁠
New year, new body? Don’t worry, you can skip the gym and get a BBL on credit! On today’s episode, India and Gwen talk about layaway BBLs, celebrity plastic surgeries, and what drives lower income folk to put it all on the line for a new body.  As the controversial queen Nicki Minaj once said, “Can’t wait to see your new body / let the lord of love be your new body / you've been born again in your new body“. But can you really go from working in fast food to a luxurious life with this new body? Is this really the path to happiness, or were we deceived to believe in the promise of a better life by the people who really profit from the ever-changing beauty standards? Tune in to decide for yourself, babe.  Follow us ⁠@anothergirlspodcast⁠ Hosts ⁠@gwenergyyyy ⁠@theindiajade⁠

Reality TV Star Donald Trump is going to be our next president (again) but what does that have to do with Project 2025, and what even is it in the first place? If you have better things to do than read a 900-page conservative manifesto, don’t you worry your pretty little head, we’ve done it for you. While we think that we know everything, we will ultimately let you decide if we should actually care or go on about our lives. Bonus - hear the latest updates on UHC CEO Killer Luigi Mangione. Is he a hero for the people or just a good looking 26 year-old who had to pay his own insurance for the first time? Find out on this episode of Another Girls Podcast, baby!
Putting the fact that he’s a killer aside, were we the only ones who thought the UHC CEO assassin was kinda cute? All jokes aside, on today’s episode, India and Gwen give you the facts as we know them on the CEO shooting, explore India’s conspiracy theories that nobody asked for but she’s giving anyway, and get into the now sold-out book Deny, Delay, Defend book on insurance scams.

Like millions of Americans, we too, were engrossed in the Mike Tyson fight. But what about a 58 year-old, retired fighter up against a YouTuber half his age had the country in such a chokehold? It may have been the fact that it was a live entertainment version of a Trump rally, salt to the wound for Americans healing, and fuel to the fire of those still reeling with excitement from Trump’s win.  Tune in to hear our take on the Trump rally, if India would do the “monkey dance” as she calls it for $20M, and most importantly, what we learned from going to the Jeremy Allen White look-alike contest in Chicago.
