Can I Say Something?

Comedy EN ↓ 51 episodes

A gab fest with twenty-somethings Madeline Ford and Maalvika Bhat. They dish on love, almost-love, work, identity, self-talk, anxiety, friendships, and the chaos of figuring it all out. Like girls at a a sleepover who just stole their parents phone to make a video — bringing levity to the heaviness. It’s a space for questions, laughs, and maybe one day, answers. So, can we say something? Yeah, we’ve got a lot to say.
