Bitch Talk Podcast

Send us Fan Mail We got on the mics right after a pretty full day of filming for our upcoming 500th episode. We're a little tired, sun drunk, and maybe even a little boozy - but we get into talking about the passing of one of our favorite supreme's, RBG, Ange's conversation with her dad about what and who DoorDash is (wtf is a dash?!), taking care of our aging parents, dirty Haight...

Send us Fan Mail Chef Pierre Thiam is a gift to the food industry and he is working hard to give farmers in West Africa a platform and pathway to the food that they grow. What a treat it was for us to talk with the chef, cookbook author, and social justice activist. We had a wonderful conversation about his story — moving from the Senegalese capital city Dakar to New York City. We also chat about...

Send us Fan Mail It may have been the weirdest week of our lives. Some thought the apocalypse was upon us. It wasn't as if the smoke and the record heat was enough, but then throw in a day that never saw the sun - it got funky, folks.  We caught up to talk about the day that was orange, plus a bunch of other topics like, who's your celebrity #1, walking in on your parents having sex more...

Send us Fan Mail We're flashing back to 2018 and the 38th annual San Francisco Jewish Film Festival with the director of the documentary Satan & Adam V. Scott Balcerek and one of the subjects Adam Gussow.  (If it sounds like Erin interviewed them alone, your ears are right. Captain Party and Producer Char were out there living their best lives travelling around California for a bit.)  Sat...

Send us Fan Mail We had so much fun chatting with comedian Nicole Tersigni, author of " Men to Avoid in Art and Life ". She explains how a joke that started as a twitter thread became a book in just a year's time, and how she came up with the different types of men to avoid (the mansplainer , the concern troll, the comedian, the sexpert, and the patronizer). We discuss men's su...

Send us Fan Mail It's time for another basic bitch! We discuss the pros and cons of being trapped on an island in the middle of a pandemic (shout out to friend of the show, Stephanie, who's currently trapped in New Caledonia ), and our thoughts on San Francisco's annual concert, Outside Lands, going virtual this year with Inside Lands . Finally, we come up with an idea for a new mus...

Send us Fan Mail Lingua Franca is a hauntingly beautiful film that will (hopefully) stay with you long after the credits start to roll. A conversation with the film's writer/director/producer/editor/star, Isabel Sandoval , proved to be just as satisfying! We discuss the evolution of the script after the 2016 election, the importance of marginalized artists lifting each other up, what makes th...

Send us Fan Mail Ange, aka Captain Party, had the chance to go glamping with her friend and twin girls up in the Mendocino redwoods. During our catch-up, Ange's story was a good reminder for our team that even though we love the children in our lives, we also love our freedom and taking a nap anytime we want to is pretty spectacular.  We also get in to our upcoming 500th episode event that&ap...

Send us Fan Mail Friend of the show (and IRL) Kimi Moon recently Zoomed with us to talk about starting a new career during the COVID pandemic. Kimi opened up about her personal trauma as a young person and after years of self medicating, not talking about the violence she endured, and pursuing dreams that weren't necessarily hers - she listened to the Universe and started the journey to get i...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Flash Back Friday! We're taking you back to July of 2018 when we interviewed director Kimberly Reed of the documentary Dark Money. With arguably the most important election of our lifetime looming in the near future, this topic remains relevant AF.  FOLLOW THE MONEY. A term coined by the film All The President's Men back in 1976 and that has even more weight n...

Send us Fan Mail The  new A24 film, Boys State is physically jarring and hopeful all at once.  It's a story of youth, how teenage boys talk about politics, how most of these boys are influenced by their parents politics, future change makers, and speaking from the heart.  It's a glimpse into our collective future, and as hard as it is to hear some of the boys talk about politics that are...
