Nicheties

New format let's goooooooooo! Angela identifies as a smarty party which is like a smarty pants but like the party version, obviously. We all deserve a party when we feel smart, you know? Unless you're talking about metaphors and literature analysis, in which case they want you to go to hell. Because imagine Shakespeare saying, "sis, get into this metaphor."  Ted Talks are just academic slam p...

Listen, we didn't judge you that one time you didn't answer that FaceTime call from your best friend and said you were busy, even though you were just laying in bed eating Fritos. Or that time that you pretended not to see your coworker fall and drop all of their belongings because you just didn't feel like helping. So this week we ask that you not judge us in our time of transition. In this week'...

There are two types of people in this world: those who are neutral about sweatpants and those who wear sweatpants in public and feel like their soul is disintegrating. Angela is the latter. We implore you to have fun with the way you dress and challenge your job's dress code. Unless you're like a carpenter or one of those mermaid performers at aquariums, then you probably don't have many options.&...

Happy New Year Shiddies!!! Maya and Angela are here, queer, and ready to complain about celebrity deaths.  Do vision boards work? What is the difference between a vision board and an amazon wishlist? Is Oprah responsible for the Obama administration? Would Angela and Maya really benefit from having iPads? Is being woke a hobby? Will the questions ever end? Press play on Nicheties first episod...

CW: Emetephobia trigger at 3:00-3:15 Happy late winter solstice Shiddies! Can I check you for a minute? We've all got weird genitals, no need to be uppity about it. Some of us have bruised color vaginas some of us have translucent jellyfish-esque areolas and that's okay (say it til it's true). Angela updates us on their bumps and lumps and maybe the fluorescent lighting in doctors' offices is a se...

On this weeks episode non-parents Maya and Angela tell you how to raise your kids!!!! The two Nicheties hosts explore how and why we got to this weird place in time where we call infants "strong little men" or "sweet little girls".  Tune in to find out what Jesus did for a living, who's on the improv scene, who's a magician, and why it is creepy to attribute gender to anyone under the age of...

Accidentally continuing on the topic of childhood toys, Maya and Angela talk about American Girl Dolls in this episode. And weeble wobbles, and beanie babies, and cabbage patch dolls...just lots of kids toys. Maya has to quickly work through her rich guilt to tackle the issue behind the doll, classism (and maybe white savior -ism?). Angela admits to the fear of having a blaccent (spoiler: they don...

So you’ve made it to episode 12, but I bet you’re still wondering “Who are these people?” and "How did they get here?". Lucky for you this week we did a get to know me episode where Maya and Angela tell you all about their childhoods. Tune in to find out who was of the receiving end of Maya’s first punch, and Angela’s first kiss. 

We missed you Shiddies! Welcome back to this week's episode where Maya outs Angela as being into bears (the gay kind or the animal kind?) and we discuss how weddings are just different generations of brides. You got your baby bride (flower girl), could be brides (bridesmaids), soonest bride (bouquet toss winner), actual bride (sacrifice), and washed up bride (mothers in law). Wedding advice blogs...

We made it to episode 10!!!!! To celebrate their 10th episode Maya and Angela discuss the thing they hate the most; weddings!  Things start out tame as Maya reads Angela some podcast statistics, but stick around because things will heat up and the hosts return to their original format. First, Maya takes us on a trip around the globe and teaches us about different wedding traditions and then A...

Ever wondered how an ADD brain works? This week Maya talks about words (shocker) and how children learn to speak, connecting their creation of made-up, nonce words, to phobia naming. With a few detours to talk about Lesbian hell (run by Lesbifer) and concise opinions on The Office, you'll find out why Angela is a doppelganger for swaggy Liam Payne. 

Gender isn't real, so why can't Maya let go of hers? This week Angela identifies as a witch that crashed into a tree and Miss Maya identifies as a big round woman that just wants to give you a hug.   This episode was blessed by the gender neutral ghost of Maya Angelou. 

Buckle up, buckaroo, we've got a great episode for you this week! Maya realizes the root of all her issues within the first 10 minutes (spoiler: it has to do with religious trauma) and Angela shares their latest medical discovery (spoiler: it's not crabs).  Woman to woman. Bitch to bitch. Cohost to cohost, we think you'll love this episode. Stay tuned at the end to answer the Spotify poll que...

Hold on to your pants because this weeks content will get both Maya and Angela excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Maya makes some corrections to the lies she told about men last week, and Angela sniffles their way through a few of their favorite hoaxes. Somewhere along the way the hosts realize that presidents aren't smart, grunge music isn't for them, and Jesus was a Jew.

This week Maya and Angela have a special surprise for you all! A format change!! Instead of each host preparing a topic for every episode they will take turns researching and presenting niche topics and discussion questions.  This week Maya asks the hard question of is cancel culture just boundaries for celebrities? Both hosts work together to name some celebrities they think would smell bad;...

Pull up a seat and listen as Angela and Maya discuss why we have Oprah to blame for both Dr. Phil and the downfall of the black woman. As a bonus you may also find out where to buy someone else’s culture on a teachers salary.

Join Maya and Angela as they discuss why the stereotypical Boomer is always white and how Angela's family has great pube diversity. Is Keke Palmer a lesbian? What is the white feminist version of a coon? 

Welcome back y'all! As you listen to the second episode of Nicheties you'll hear Angela introduce Maya to the verb casserole, a detailed description of why Maya no longer does accents publicly, and what she thinks about One Direction.

Hi all! In the first-ever episode of Nicheties Maya and Angela introduce themselves both to you and seemingly to each other. Listen as Maya talks about idioms and how America turns atrocities into children's games and Angela explains how the art of palmistry was colonized and misinterpreted.
