Send us Fan Mail Dino is recording with a stye today. He showed up anyway. This week: a sidewalk tarot reader rolling a booger mid-reading, thoughts on Melania, and why the number of unsolved murders in this country is actually unhinged. Dino is on the case. He does not have a badge. Then the inbox. Seven months of "same." A spreadsheet with a vibe rating column. Kind of my person, in a...

Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome back to I Hear You, Babe. This week we're talking about the friendship breakup — not the dramatic kind with a fight and a moment you can point to, but the slow kind. The one where you look up one day and realize the person you used to call about everything has become someone you see four times a year and call it fine. Before the emails, Dino talks about Cany...

Send us Fan Mail Dino's been sober for seven days, just made a hard business decision, and is somehow still at the studio on a Sunday morning with a 7-Eleven coffee. That's the vibe. This week we're talking about ambition — specifically whose dream you've actually been chasing. Dino gets into the SaltDrop origin story, what it really costs to build something from scratch versus...

Send us Fan Mail A little founder therapy and a lot of listener emails. Dino talks about the messy reality of running a startup, making hard financial decisions, and what nobody tells you about building a business with real people inside it. Then we get into the inbox: dating chaos, recurring couple fights, weaponized incompetence, location tracking moms, and the man who somehow managed to run two...

Send us Fan Mail Mercury retrograde is retrograding, it’s raining in New York, and I have started this episode eleven times, so if the vibe is a little feral, that is why. We talk influencer discourse and why some people stay quiet about big things, why Instagram is not the United Nations, and why Substack is where nuance belongs. Then we pivot to joy, nostalgia, and the hunt for a real Pac Man or...

Send us Fan Mail This is I Hear You, Babe. Today we’re legislating.

We get into subway etiquette, dating app emotional hedging, coffee shop laptop squatters, pu...

Send us Fan Mail This is I Hear You, Babe. I just got back from Pittsburgh, got humbled by family reality, and came home to the blizzard of 2026 where I fully became your conspiracy aunt. Lucy Letby. Epstein again on Netflix with new context. 25 episodes of Killer Cases. Half a pan of brownies. Not well. But weirdly clear. Because every story I watched had the same quiet theme: staying. Staying wh...

Send us Fan Mail This is I Hear You, Babe . Today we are talking about the comment that was small but stayed with you forever. It starts with a very New York moment. I asked a guy for a lighter while he was literally smoking a cigarette and he said he didn’t have one. And somehow that spirals into everything. Because this episode is not about the big blowups. It’s about the tiny comments. The offh...

Send us Fan Mail This week on I Hear You, Babe , we’re easing into it. I start by talking about losing Dude and how grateful I am that we were able to say goodbye at home. It was quiet. It was sad. It was peaceful. And yes, I cried like a child. From there, we settle into a very real, very human mega episode about what actually helps when you’re not okay — not in an Instagram way, not in a fix-it...

Send us Fan Mail This week, it is the fake limbo between Christmas and New Year’s where nobody knows what day it is, time feels optional, and I refuse to spend a single second doing a countdown with anyone I don’t deeply trust. We’re talking gray New York days, castor oil everywhere, vision boards on the living room floor, and the specific chaos that only shows up when the year is about to end. We...

Send us Fan Mail It is almost Christmas and I am in that weird in between time where the city feels half asleep and everything feels a little softer. Last night I went to Jan and Jackie’s Christmas show at Red Eye. Tonight Darius and I are doing a candlelight concert with traditional Christmas songs. Tomorrow I head to Pittsburgh for a few days and I am already thinking about my mom’s food and als...

Send us Fan Mail This week on I Hear You, Babe, Dino gets into Hot Takes — the quiet thoughts you have at the kitchen counter, the texts you never sent, the opinions you immediately judge yourself for having. These aren’t podcast bro hot takes or engagement bait. They’re honest. Messy. Lived in. Listener emails and DMs roll in on love, friendship, self respect, silence, closure, being “chill,” out...

Send us Fan Mail This week we’re talking about the moments when the version of ourselves we thought we’d outgrown comes bursting through the door like, “Hey girl, remember me?” From jealousy to teenage spirals to emotional regression to accidentally telling your therapist you love him — today’s episode is a gentle drag, a group confession, and a reminder that the “real you” isn’t the problem. The...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Episode 25, babe — the “I swear I didn’t forget you” episode. This week is The Lost Emails — all the stories you’ve sent over the last few months that didn’t quite fit a theme or missed the timing but lived in my brain anyway. Some are funny. Some are tender. Some are unhinged in the best way. And all of them are so real. This is one big love letter to you — the listene...

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is my version of a gratitude episode… which means it is not polished, not Pinterest, and definitely not “10 things I’m thankful for” energy. We’re talking about the things you’re actually grateful you survived. The friendships that got weird. The jobs that tried to age you. The relationships that looked fine from the outside but were quietly draining the life o...

Send us Fan Mail This week we are talking about pedestals. Not the Greek kind. The emotional kind. The “I met you three times and decided you are flawless and spiritually elevated” kind. The kind we build out of vibes, fantasy, loneliness and pure delulu energy. I get into some of what has been happening in my own world with pedestaling inside friendships and what it does to you when people turn y...

Then, listener emails pour in with stories of resilience: the dancer rediscovering her rhythm, the mom reclaiming her body, the breakup glow-up, the friend group exit, and the apartment key that...

Send us Fan Mail Today we unpack your walk of shame and walk of no shame stories and start with something real. I talk about friendships shifting in adulthood, how love can be true and still feel out of sync, and the choice to stay kind while you figure it out. Then we dive into your emails: Barbie in Tribeca and the elevator ride from hell, a barefoot croissant on Marathon Sunday, the Thanksgivin...

Send us Fan Mail Babe, let’s be honest — we’ve all had a delulu era. The one where they were “just busy.” Where one date became a whole fantasy. Where you swore the universe was sending signs… and maybe it was. In this episode of I Hear You, Babe , Dino reads six listener letters that prove we’re all a little delusional — and that’s okay. From a SaltDrop class crush to the “guy who hated cats,” th...

Send us Fan Mail Some friends give advice like it’s gospel. Others just pour the wine and let you spiral. This week, we’re talking about that voice — the bestie who’s always sure she knows what’s best for you, the group chat that turns into a courtroom, the quiet friend who just says one sentence that changes everything. From tequila-fueled bad ideas that somehow worked to the kind of hard truths...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we’re talking about hauntings of the heart — the people who disappeared mid-text, mid-date, mid- sentence — and left you wondering if you hallucinated the whole thing. From the one who vanished after introducing you to their mom, to the ex who reappeared like a cursed Instagram ad, we’re diving into the ghosting stories that still linger. Also: I spiral about Secret Kee...

Send us Fan Mail New York (and every busy city) runs on tiny rules we never wrote down. Today we read your funniest, most unhinged, and surprisingly tender stories about the small crimes of city life: people who plant themselves in subway doorways, stop at the top of the stairs like it’s a TED Talk, and groups who walk ten-across so no one can pass. Plus: coffee-line philosophers, airport line cut...
