Softblock, the Podcast

When you have a good thing going, why not milk it for all that it's worth until there's nothing left? That's kinda what we have for you this week, folks. Mish and Abbey are so booked, busy, and blessed that they're reaching into the archives and bringing you "Cooking Mama(s) Part 2."  From a complete lack of things to talk about, to deep introspection, to light cooking ASMR, to the abrupt end of t...

Leaves are changing colour, Toronto patios are trickling away, soup is simmering in the pot. It's almost fall, babes. Can you believe it?  This week, Abbey and Michelle share some of their personal goals for the changing season. It was supposed to be the "Summer of Softblock." Now, perhaps we transition into, "Friendship Fall" or "Aspirational Autumn." Ehhh.. it's a work in progress. (And aren't w...

In the words of Mariah Carey, "Why you so obsessed with me?" and "You're delusional, you're delusional." This week, we're talking about parasocial relationships.  As both participants and recipients of parasocial behaviour, Abbey and Mish each share a non-exhaustive list of their favourite public figures (and their close, personal connections to them). It's all real, right? Ha ha ha. We would *tot...

ONE OF US WENT TOO HARD AND HAS TO GO TO A WORK POTLUCK?! What an iconic dilemma to face.  This week, Michelle and Abbey are in the kitchen, testing out new recipes and new microphones. This episode is more of a casual chat with some sweet lil' ASMR moments (squeezing lemons, crunching kale, there's some real Martha Stewart business taking place). And in true fashion, we're yappers, so we've broke...

Hey divas, come join us for a lil' happy hour adult bevvy!!  This week, Abbey and Michelle sit down for some good, old-fashioned chatting. From new jobs, to closed shows, to celebrity fathers, to accidental intimacy at the Dufferin Mall, the duo covers everything pop culture and everything personal (which, let's face it, should be considered 'popular culture' at this point).  Oh, and happy Lion's...

The rumours are true: We DO think we're above everyone and everything else. (Not really.) This week, Michelle and Abbey talk celebrity scandals and discuss what they would do in their designer shoes. Spoiler alert: probably the exact same thing. Shoplifting, intimate videos, throwing up milk - softblock covers it all.  Happy 10th episode, babes! xo  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show ho...

Estate of Frank Sinatra!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE don't sue us!!!!!!!!! This week, Abbey and Michelle recollect their trip to New York City last June. A spur-of-the-moment decision, actually made quite calmly and deliberately in advance, they share stories of comedy shows, torrential downpours, and friends made on Omegle.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and...

PAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTTAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!  This week, Abbey and Michelle dream up a Softblock launch party OR a 20-year-friendship anniverary party OR a celebrity roast. There are no budgets and no inhibitions.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight. Softblock is the ramification of two young girls meeting at an underfunde...

Begone seasonal depression and hello seasonal depression for women who get sad in the Summer (and are exponentially cooler and hotter). Yes, we contain multitudes.  This week Abbey and Michelle work through their Summer To-Do list. It's not a bucket list unless we're going to the beach.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight. Softblock i...

We are back and better than ever. Thank you to our 6 fans who waited in the wings while we got our shit together.  This week, Abbey and Michelle complain. That's it. All we ever do is complain. About work, about life, about dating. It's a rite of passage. We talk in circles and then one day we will inevitably die.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and...

Slowburn Mike Wazowski? Dead Richard Gere? Dentist Office Pretty Woman?  This week, Abbey and Michelle are practicing accountability. (There was no time to record and edit over the past two weeks.) In the meantime, please enjoy this little snippet as an apology. Thanks for your patience. We will be back so soon.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Mi...

LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTENNNNNN! This week, Abbey and Michelle are peaking the microphone as they talk through their select "hear-me-outs." From fictional villains to high school teachers, the two reveal their most guilty hypothetical pleasures.  If you're a real person on this list and listening to this episode, no you are not!  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-...

The girls are FIGHTING. This week Abbey and Michelle go head to head with their thoughts and opinions - what's new? It's a friend-fight, a chum-championship, a bestie-battle. The challenge: pick the best or BE the best.  The rules are simple: When given an infamous group, you must choose the best thing or person in that list. If you choose something different, you must explain why your option is t...

Oof! Yuck! Gross! Barf! This week, Abbey and Michelle share their personal "icks" within modern dating, friendships, and self. Contemplating dating apps, cyberbullying, and holes punched through the drywall, they consider: What is an ick? Why do we have them? And are they of any use?  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight. Softblock is t...

Is there anyone here with us?  This week Abbey and Michelle dive into the topic of "Ghosts."  Why might we believe in them? Are mediums legit? Would we come back if we had the chance?  Please note that the beginning of this episode includes a first-hand account of illness and death. To skip that portion, you may start the episode at 12:00.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by A...
