Alison Attends Preschool, Jackie Johnson is Reborn, Party Flaking Etiquette

By Alison Rosen on September 11, 2019 in podcast

If you can’t make it to someone’s event should you let them know beforehand or is it better to just explain after the fact? The table is divided! Jackie Johnson joins us to discuss NEW Jackie and why swimming with sharks was a terrible idea. Plus a LOT of #GalChat and a new nickname for Tony which I hope sticks but I bet he doesn’t. And more!

Erin Gibson Will Make You Love Santa Fe

By Alison Rosen on September 8, 2019 in podcast, Uncategorized

Erin Gibson (Throwing Shade, Feminasty, Groceries, History: The Shequel) stops by the show to talk about buying a multi-unit property in Santa Fe for her sick father, mother-in-law and husband’s brother to live in and turning the other units into chic rentals. She shares about the process of advocating medically for her father, watching him nearly die in front of her, relocating him, learning how to effectively take care of him and the effect the experience has had on her. Turns out Santa Fe suits her in such an overpowering way that in the course of writing this summary I’ve sold my home and now I live in Santa Fe. Also she took advice from a witch. We also chat about her feelings about the industry, family members’ reactions to Feminasty, astrology, coincidences, her many podcasts and more. P.S. Very much almost named this episode, “Erin Gibson Says ‘Eat Sh*t, Denise.'”
