5. Kathryn Gallagher (Broadway & TV actress, Singer/Songwriter, My Little)

While Kathryn Gallagher is a successful broadway actress (Spring Awakening), future TV star (You on Lifetime), and singer/songwriter, perhaps her most important role has been being my "little" in Theta, the sorority that we both dropped out of in college. This is truly a special episode that reminds me of why I immediately fell in love with Kathryn 5 years ago. We talk body positivity, the intersection of creativity & hard work, and how to filter out negativity. We talk "craft" and "craft servic...

4. Brian Jones (Bassist, Producer, Artist, Matt Lauer’s Last Victim)

If Gallup were to measure Brian Jones’s approval rating, it would be record-breaking. Everybody loves Brian because he is hardworking, talented, funny, and politer than 99% of 24-year-old guys you will meet. He plays bass for Gwen Stefani and Muna, produces for many artists (including my bff Ren Farren), and makes up one half of the band Human Natural. In this episode, we rant about the virtues of Kimbra for possibly a little too long, I grill Brian to recall the “best memory of his entire life”...

3. Taylor Griffin, Press Secretary for Nancy Pelosi & Former High School A Capella Co-President

Taylor has accomplished many great things in lifetime, from being one of three co-presidents of our high school a capella group (no small feat in a class with 40 girls), to being the first black woman and one of the youngest staffers to hold the position of Press Secretary for a Democratic House leader by the age of 25. She is known for her energy and laughter, her smarts, her good looks, and being featured in Time magazine while protesting in Ferguson, MO. Turns out she is also the enemy of a f...

2. Lauren Ruth Ward (Singer, Artist, Hairdresser, Aunt, Not Your Honey)

GUYS. Lauren Ruth Ward is one of the most mesmerizing performers I've ever seen. She is warm and lovely and she invited me into her home for tea, dog snuggles and a podcast. I've gotten to know her a little bit over the course of the year since we played a show together in Nov. 2016, and I've watched her slowly but steadily take over the Los Angeles music scene. In the past I've chatted with her about music but mostly just bombarded her with requests to see pictures of her adorable niece. One of...

1. Annie Krabbenschmidt (Love Is A Softball Field Crossover Episode!)

Annie is a single female living in Durham, NC. She is currently spending her 24th year of life getting her Master's degree in Public Policy at Duke and dominating the local queer Tinder scene. She's my best friend from high school, the co-host of my other podcast "Love Is A Softball Field", and a talented comedian and writer. I promised I wouldn't call this episode "Annie Is So Brave", although pretty early on in the episode she admits to having been on the receiving end of the world's most back...
