our pod

When it comes to Bella’s new post-surgery voice, it’s important to remember: a diva’s register is never low. Everything else is simply high. The girls shiver at having both interfaced with one Jax Taylor, and even manifest his firing. Hey, before we get the Biphobia Alarms going, remember that Ivana has the bi sticker! By the way, it’s OUR pod. So if you want to come on, you have to ask us. Anyway...

Bella’s not saying that LA has changed Ivana, but it’s a bit LA has changed Ivana. Prayers for Jojo Siwa, always. And guess what? Prayers to everyone. Even those who Ivana hates. Addison Rae’s whole brand is kind of, you would love her to be your older or younger sister. Or crush. The Fifth Harmony song “Squeeze” was formative to Ivana’s queerness. And Bella has had an imagination for as long as s...

There’s a Pre-Camp and a Post-Camp. The good thing about camping is that Bella survived. The bad thing about camping is that it was worse than you can even imagine. The girls ponder the age old question, what show would be more better than Hacks? Ivana really wants to rail against the TV industry making us believe that workplace is like family. Bella didn’t know that people could have the same bir...

This week, members of the brood who are Team Ivana get a win. Bella wasn’t hooked on the L Word but she was bricked up for Rizzoli & Isles. Is there any more perfect love song than the one that goes “When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie”? Ivana will just say this really quick: she’s in an email fight with the Enneagram Personality Test people. Bella synthesizes the ethos of the po...

Episode starts with some housekeeping questions: which version of yourself are you carrying with you and what food is your chart? For members of the brood who are Team Ivana, this is going to be a long episode for you because Bella has a lot to say. If the girls could get one message through to Hailey Bieber’s ears it would be: leaving him will make you a bonafide star. The way Ivana gets to do Tw...

Let us take you to a world where Bella lives in Etobicoke and Ivana lives in a condo. With gay, it can be so confusing to know if you have a crush or if that’s your blood sister. Ivana feels that the culture is a bit anti-polyamory right now but she doesn’t read articles, as you know. Bella got lost in the thought that she had her wisdom teeth removed around the same time as Beyoncé’s digital drop...

"Don’t Cha” by The Pussycat Dolls is leading Bella to ask the age old question, what do you feel like: a lady, a soldier, a doll, or a fella? Today, Ivana is a soldier. Look at any of the looks on the Met Gala red carpet and know that Blake Lively was doing that in "A Simple Favour" (2018). Bella confuses Ivana's controversially-older-girlfriend fantasy for Kathryn Hahn with ERI...

Happy Lesbian Visibility week to Bella. Ivana, unfortunately, is feeling more bi than ever. If Ivana was on Love On The Spectrum her introduction would be: Ivana loves “The Idea Of You.” Ivana hates “Eileen.” Hey, can we ask you a question? Did you pay the tolls to the angels? Five gays told Bella she influenced Mayhem in the Desert. And five is a lot of gays. The greatest actress and star is Ivan...

As Lady Gaga says, the girls are living just as free as their hair. Ivana is experiencing the highs and joys of life in her rec league soccer group chat. If you feel weird about Ariana Grande, think about if you’re a good person and you love your friends. When it comes to Benny Blanco, Bella is a girl who says height matters. Inspired by Brian Johnson, Ivana is going to forgo a social life, dreams...

In true Our Pod fashion, our first ever guest does NOT have a microphone. But, it’s Steph (@steph.veiga on tt). You all get it. Bella got scared because she realized she didn’t have any skills for Steph’s homestead. Luckily now she’s getting really good at “fire.” And as Ivana says, fire is earth’s animation. When it comes to Divergent, Steph is a Dauntless and Bella knows that because they went t...

Ivana poses one simple question to her sister: How are you? Bella thought she would get a heroes delivery to the OR for her cancer but… she just walked with her tight hospital pants. Puss basically out. Meanwhile at her birthday, Ivana made everyone make meaning out of the loot bags. Her genuine birthday wish: to spend more time gaming. As in playing games. Finally 50-minutes in, let’s get to the...

Azealia Banks is right. The gays have to sit this one out. Bella is treating Mayhem like it’s Gaga's self-titled. Ivana is going between Garden of Eden and Zombieboy. Garden of Eden and Zombieboy. And obviously, all of them. Bella knew at 12:01 am that Killah was the one. Ivana believes Gaga about her blade of grass story. Bella, not so much. Here’s the thing: Gaga's horny for Michael. And...

7-and-a-half minutes spent on Bubly flavours and Bella’s girlfriend’s incredible hat. In Ivana’s mom’s world, the Italian pop star Elodie is on par with Lady Gaga. Bella gets really smart about language and queer inclusivity in the Lucy Dacus video. Ivana says YES! Bella loves Jesus Christ Superstar but she does NOT want a Mario Magdalene.  It would be amazing to Ivana if they cast Janelle Monae a...

Sometimes when God closes a door, he goes ahead and opens a window. And that’s basically what happened when Bella soaked Ivana’s podcast equipment with PC Blue Menu sparkling water. Regardless... it's finally Abracadabra time. Mayhem’s pronouns are she/her. Ivana’s pronouns are May/hem. But no matter what way you split it, if Ivana had been the One Less Lonely Girl, she would’ve ended up strai...

Okay, off the top, Ivana wants to know, do you guys like that? (inconsistent posting, poor sound quality). Bella did comedy in little fucked up comedy spaces with two of the biggest girls in the world. Ivana thinks every short film is a miracle. She just hates them so much. Bella's art form is Instagram stories. When you see "Dolce," you think of Ivana. And when you see teal, you think of Dolce. S...

Happy 2025. We’re so off our game that… we’re on our game. Bella knew Ivana was capable of Yahtzee so that’s why she felt comfortable abandoning her. When it comes to a wedding ring, Dua Lipa wants to be twiddling that fucking thing and seeing it shine on her finger. Ivana gets intense Wednesday scaries thinking about having to go into an office tomorrow. Bella wonders if Ivana will wear a pencil...

We’re not even gonna explain where we’ve been but Pluto is responsible for a lot of what’s going on right now. Everyone is either bitchy or annoying. Ivana is bitchy. Bella? Annoying . Kristin Chenoweth and Idina…. CHRISTINA! Ivana has some questions about Conclave and it’s just like, what did you think the whole movie was about? Anyways. Back to Wicked. Let’s just talk quickly about Cynthia Arian...

Well. It’s going to be a hard November for any listeners who don’t like Wicked, we’ll say that. Bella says we only have one hour because her brand new girlfriend can’t see us podding. Ivana was enchanted by herself in long, blonde ringlets. In terms of New Years…. That’s something everyone is talking about. Meanwhile, Beyoncé dares to ask the question, “You know Christmas?” Bella kink shames proud...

Our pod makes it’s triumphant return. Within moments, Bella is singing Wicked. Noor says Ivana has bad habits. Bella’s update is that she interviewed literal Lady Gaga and people are saying that real journalism is back. Ivana’s updates will come in weeks. And just know, they are hard and mighty. Bella has a neural link with Ivana and Ivana has one with Dua Lipa. The girls went to SWEAT Tour and it...

After two weeks of Bad Audio, the girls are lezzing out with Producer Noor and little Pepper. In honour of soccer summer coming to a close, Ivana is gonna get together a team of queers so good at soccer that we win. Bella will be the mascot. When Ivana was a little girl, she remembers watching Sex and the City and wondering why everyone wasn’t more horny for Charlotte. Dyke Halloween is going to a...

Well, well, well. Mercury retrograde strikes the Our Pod studio once again, forcing us to release a short episode this week. But still, the girls are back and they have a whole new outlook. After all, when something is lost (i.e. half an episode), something else is found (i.e. Bella’s weed pen). Not to be a sex pest but, Bella was disappointed when Ivana didn’t sleep under her weighted blanket. If...

The girls are 9 joints deep but still lucky, grateful, thankful and abundant. Ivana’s special interest snack is just: banana, crunchy peanut butter, chocolate chips. We don’t have to dwell on it. But big rice cakes are not Ivana’s culture at all so she needs to visualize them. Bella saw about 14 hundred movies this weekend. Oklahoma is essentially having a level-5 twister every day but what Ivana...

Take a load off! We’re outside today and it’s 5’o’clock somewhere. This is the authentic episode because when it comes to having a blue check mark and meeting your favourite podcasters, authentic and organic is best. Kind of something very iconic about when Bella met Kelly Clarkson is that Kelly Clarkson had a shaved side head. Like a lesbian! Bella hates the phrase “girls, gays, and theys” becaus...

New segment: Movie We Should Write and this week it’s gay, dyke Dr. Doolittle. The girls think it’s a really good litmus test to see how someone plays Sims. And we had an incredible moment this weekend… it was so magic and the story simply goes, Bella let Ivana borrow an off-white clutch slash purse. Bella has object baby impermanence with 99% of housewives when they’re not filming. Ivana did just...

The list is angry today and the girls are going rogue with this episode. We’re coming to you completely unedited, raw and real and wearing temporary tattoos. First things first, when hot girls wear little glasses, it’s a bit “my culture is not a costume” and Bella can say that because she is legally blind in one eye. Ivana will miss her sister when the grid goes down but Bella won’t be taking Ivan...
