Reconnecting... with Dani and Maya

**deep breath in** hellooOOO! It’s been a while pod friends! Today we are back in action on our usual gigs: having thoughts about things, telling each other the thoughts, chatting about it, recording it, minimal editing, putting it out there for your ears. What are we talking about today? Good question! Dani explains Cameron Theory and the Camerons in everyday life, Maya recommends Jacob Sartorius and wearing sweatshirts (and…love?), the two discuss equally intellectual interests: academia and pop cultcha. Also discuss boygenius, the HBO Girls renaissance, soups, and their ever emerging love for tuna—or do they? Some catch up calls are just too dense for 1 episode, so we’re giving you two! Stay tuned for part 2 where I think the tuna appreciation takes place. Woah! The sound is so slay this episode! Did you invest in fancy microphones? Great ear, listener! The answer is yes, we sound great, but no, no fancy mics in place (we let that be Mike’s Mic think). Special thanks to pod listener Laura for the recommendation that we record on Zoom. World changing! Follow us on insta @reconnecting_pod

In this episode, we're nineteen and we're on fire. We do a Melodrama lyrical deep dive, venture into the Taylor Swift Cinematic Universe, and give brief notes on heterosexuality and #ShortKingSpring. Then, for all the listeners wanting to know if they have a chance with us, we get into our types-- or more accurately, the presence of Common Denominator Types (CDT). We finish off the episode by reminding you all that life isn't just about male validation, it's about academic validation too. So, we explain what essays and projects have been on our minds recently.  Instagram: @reconnecting_pod Twitters: @daniwohl @mayagamer14

In this episode, we share the most important thing you will ever hear: our opinion. Topics covered include our menstrual cup cleaning routines, when and where and how diet coke is the ideal beverage, and times we wish we hadn't been given forehead kisses.  Instagram: @reconnecting_pod Twitters: @daniwohl @therealmayagamer Bye!

"When you are young they assume you know you are a smart funny girl not a pretty one" - not Taylor Swift In this episode, we briefly discuss different beefs we are having, outline our guiding principles for ethical gossiping, and chat about Euphoria's visceral hotness. Then, we delve into how being "not hot" and having an awareness of our assigned sexual and social capital influenced us as tweens, teens, and young women.  Instagram: @reconnecting_pod Twitter: @daniwohl @mayagamer14 Xoxo!

In this episode, we've captured the true essence of a Pod Walk. Topics covered include the Coachella lineup of our dreams, our shared passion for menstrual cups, and what - or should we say who - a Summer Tomato is. We also get insightful about love at first sight, and our relationships with blenders. FOLLOW THE POD INSTA! @reconnecting_pod Follow us on tweeeeeter! @daniwohl @mayagamer14

Happy half birthday Dani, its a nostalgia extravaganza! Topics covered include Papa's Cupcakeria, the rise of Justin Bieber, and how we dressed as tweens. We also discover that Dani has an encyclopedic memory of American Girl Doll girls of the year.  Additionally, we've both completed our TV binges. Maya shares her thoughts after her Pretty Little Liars rewatch and Dani talks about the experience of watching three seasons of Succession in around four days. As always, visual accompaniments and great jokes on our twitters. @daniwohl @mayagamer14

A rather chaotic episode in which we talk about a little bit of everything. Dani explains Game(r) Theory as it applies to relationships, we discuss potstickers/potstirrers, and talk about American Girl Dolls in great detail. Dani is plowing through Succession, Maya is on her one hundredth rewatch of Pretty Little Liars. Also- what do you prefer, emotional honesty or great arms? Listen to the end for our live reactions to Betty White's passing. Follow us on twitter! Please. @daniwohl @mayagamer14

One year minus one day after we first uploaded an episode of this podcast, we're back. Maya thought we needed a jingle-- Dani writes songs, so she was assigned this task. Reconnecting, the podcast!

Hi pod friends! Apologies that by the time this is uploaded to the public and in your eardrums it will be a little (okay, maybe a lot) outdated, at least for those keeping up to date with the Taylor Swift Cinematic Universe. We're sitting and writing this description in Maya's living room together in Ann Arbor celebrating our #togetherness and the arrival of the new baby Soupie (see our insta @reconnecting_pod for the reveal). But while we compile our thoughts from the Eras tour and our amazing weekend together for the NEXT episode, enjoy this pre-recorded pod about Tayla, Succession, and whatever else we talk about...we're sure it's great but we just don't remember other specifics right now. Enjoy! Pod instagram: @reconnecting_pod Twitters: @mayagamer14 + @daniwohl

Hey listeners! It's May now, the days are longer, homework is minimal, and we are back on our podcasting grind. In this episode, we have an Eras Tour show of our own: a spoken tour of all the eras we are in. This includes what foods we are and aren't eating, celebs that are and aren't dating, our travel plans, and summer employment. Dani brings the listeners along on her moving houses journey, and Maya sings the praises of her new tote bag. Also: we talk about the who/what/where/when of finding out about the Taylor and Joe breakup, and who did Karl Lagerfeld the most proud at the Met Gala. Thanks for listening!

Helloooooo friends of the pod and welcome back! We had a wonderful, if slightly chaos-filled, summer at our favourite place for autoethnograpic research: our Jewish Summer Camp. In today’s episode we delve into what we’re learning this semester but more importantly, we let all of you in on the best linguistic distinction: a kiss vs a kith. We also ponder if our feminism goes beyond an identity label, to which the answer is:…no? Stay tuned for our recommendations and ask us questions for next episode!

Hey listeners! Or yiddin, as our guest today says. Long-time friend of the pod Jeremy Urbach (@ovoYURB on Twitter) joins us for a wide-ranging and very engaging conversation. Are men unfairly discriminated against in the world of astrology? What does it mean to be a middle sibling? Will the third temple be vegetarian? Are Dani and Maya frum? What makes excellent herring? So many questions, we three voracious tweeters have lots of answers.  Follow us all on twitter to keep up to date with every single thing we do this summer!

In anticipation of two months straight of #Content, Dani and Maya talk about a wide range of topics that have been on their minds. This ranges from recent events and occurrences (thrifting, mall fire) to deep lore (cheecheepea origins, Ashley Marin’s lasagna boxes). Stay tuned for Toronto meetup details, may or may not include a detailed presentation of Maya's teen boy-esque nerdy interests and Dani’s rules for how to successfully steal your parents' clothing from old memory boxes.
