Poog with Kate Berlant and Jacqueline Novak

You’re not a fraud if your pathology briefly lifts. Kate has found a pretty good deodorant and Jacqueline replies to a friend’s Bader inquiry. Eye contact with an advertisement. A particular makeup wipe is affirmed. The airport lounge doesn’t allow takeout. Kate is headed to Rome. Toxicity levels in the back of the plane. Night malls. The heaven poem, revisited.    Edited & mixed by Allie Grah...

When you recommend Poog and it’s a couple of broads sitting in silence. Beyond the smear, the dribble, the dry ice of molecular gastronomy. The bedroom eye and a fundamental misunderstanding of the magic. Electrolyte cocktails and a quiet addiction. Don’t carry your food on a river of water. Do send this one to your friends.   Edited and mixed by Allie Graham. See omnystudio.com/listener for priva...

Kate got eaten alive and will die in this town. Days before the taping, JN has and hasn’t let go. A porridge is introduced but no mugs will suffice for dinner. The British in Hollywood. An Oscar special must be done. Haunted shapewear trips, haunted organ meat meals.    Edited and mixed by Allie Graham. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A glimpse into the Hags’ text thread, sisterhood. Unexpected Poog listeners continue to reveal themselves. Seeing an ad for a product you already have. If it's truly the shadow, you do not see it. Dreams of an owl. 5 foot feather boa, for the community. The neck is gone. Kate circles back on stem cells and packing light.   Edited and mixed by Allie Graham.

Kate’s been out dancing the night away again and Jacqueline got THE facial. An inexplicable pimple’s origin. Motor Mouth in the Chair, Celsius in the Mouth. Was it… the umbilical all along? The hags don’t claim to be the experts. Low-level zinging is occurring. Wedding confusion is cleared up and eating before bed finally addressed. Whose water bottle is truly larger? Matcha Americano Style, Propo...

Jacqueline enters vibrating from her bionic thighs. Kate fell asleep reading like Rembrandt. A cat sanctuary, the death of Caesar, historicity and a Hemp Virginia Slim. Modernity robs. A new high end hand cream with a pump saves. Doth the candle sconce profess too much? A profound psycho-spiritual breakthrough is made. Choose your invisible objects. Outside-in. The passive and active phases of the...

Kate has been working out. Jacqueline’s “wedding” is a euphemism for taping her special. Naked dancing again. Should we fear the plastics of our blenders? The Jackie Special. Going beyond the breaking point. Where is Hyman? Racket sports crossing the midline. Cerebellum obsession. Conductors; trains or symphonies? A cat retrieval is attempted live on air. Renting out the spa. Avocado Chocolate Mou...

A glass of milk in its many forms. Advocating for your hunger as a guest in someone’s home. Push push box box, what percentage of the hags are already Formula 1 fans? Pain has arrived and left already since the last episode. New Erewhon sweets are sampled. Kate’s family farm comes up. No longer just bringing the hotel home but also bringing the dentist home. Balance seen in a new way. It’s countdo...

The hags use a new device all throughout the episode. Tennis is part of the program now. A baby elephant eats sugarcane and hides behind a light post. Is a cinema practice worth starting? Jacqueline is in a Poog Vortex: her special is now on sale. A big salad. Aquarius is here once and for all. Here comes the turmeric! Was an alter ego the answer all along?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

From Lamaze to Le Mans to Lyma to lemons. The conversation continues from last week on human amusements at the cost of disaster. A massive skinning. A negative in the sunlight. To think of the cold as pain. A visit to Burrow House. To surveil the parents. Can you drink too much electrolyte water? An Easter Bunny lurking behind the Westman Atelier. A sprung dance floor DIY. Kate conceives of a publ...

The New Jersey sessions are more than airable. Kate’s in a hotel and hungry. Jacqueline did an ice plunge and took audio. A friend’s enthusiasm for The Bodyguard. The speed of the moon. The rollercoaster stomach drop. A series of measurements, unopened and expired. To shake from below. Continued next week.    Edited and mixed by Allie Graham. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Se...

A “couple of comedy gals” are back after throwing an episode in the trash. The burned episode will be regularly referenced and it may just be airable, folks. Passive exercise is finally here. Gift us, don’t phone us. Vitamin C, can you use too much? Cultural references even in dreams. Food disposals for your shower. Poog in Monaco for F1 2024? Eating the menu again. Jacqueline tells Kate the way t...

Tartuffe, Boethius, Dante. The purges continue to free up psychic weight. Jacqueline records from her office-turned-Tracy Cave. Kate’s drawers have been dry-lubed and an Ikea dresser is about to hit the street. The longterm effects of laser hair removal are considered. How would K and J survive in the woods? The hags clarify their restaurant recommendations. Sloppy dress-up dinner at Musso’s in th...

The hags reckon with the robotic vacuum, the hotel refund, and when a press kit is ignored. What was all their work for? Forget the leaf, consider the hands. To be turned on by one’s home. When a mug is left behind and spotted by a friend. Massage the termini. When laughter takes hold. ~ Edited & mixed by Allie Graham. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See Privacy Policy at...

Jacqueline records live from the greatest hotel in Austin and maybe anywhere, The Hotel St Cecilia. Kate just returned from a trip in a no-name hotel where the sole responsibility of a hotel was not fulfilled. Litigiousness. Bringing joy to the suits. When the card is down and it’s going on the tab. Poog Law begins. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See Privacy Policy at https:/...

Levitating on coffee there is a lot to say.  It’s time to get serious with shadow work. Don’t you dare doubt our ADD as modernity. Sonos blasting Chopin throughout the home. An eight hour audio to take you through the day. Jacqueline promises to do something in a previous episode. When they take your books. Open air gyms. Jacqueline got a Tracy Anderson upgrade. Kate releases psychics. It was the...

Jacqueline is quarantined in a Colorado hotel and Kate’s got her right where she wants her. Talking oneself into a nut milk maker and getting feet measured by a professional. To curl the eyelash when a hawk flies in. Cold-called by a real estate company mid-episode and dishonored by a shiny suitcase maker in recent days, but there’s good news: snow. Kate swabs on air. You gotta turn, not just twis...

Twins this week, the hags were both in NY. They saw each other in a hotel lobby and had the burger together. Jacqueline did her workout in-studio for the first time. Is hot water on the face an issue? Kate likes to be witnessed. Functional medicine is on the horizon. Customer service is not dead everywhere. Cold spoons in the eyes.    Edited & mixed by Allie Graham. See omnystudio.com/listener...

If the gifts don’t arrive at both hags’ homes…it’s no longer getting posted. Bottles are falling everywhere. Jacqueline doubts Kate’s Açaí bowl. The Hags envision a better bathroom, the ideal decluttering service, and gua sha on a rope. The swinging feet of First Class children. Bulletin boards. Both need a Jungian Therapist stat. The quantity of serum in a sheet mask. Sedona is locked in for now....

The hags will be together in NYC for four dinners…what restaurateurs will offer to host them in a private room? Jacqueline sources clamshell backpacks for her and Kate. Peanuts and yellow bananas are actively bad for you. Life with Mark Hyman is considered. They play out a scene from their near future. Mountain or beach. The horseback discussion reaches its peak with a promise that turns Kate’s da...

Time leaps forward twice in Part Two, so hold on to your tin hats. Jacqueline gets Kate fed and showered, aiding her in a room service burger-ordering quest that leads to a weeklong investigation of (in)consistency in burger temperature.

The burger quest begins. See omnystudio.com/listener...

New Years, 2023 and the hags are not banging down the door at Planet Fitness. The Times Square Ball Drop is thoroughly investigated. Shroomami, floga, and finding the self in retail relations. Journaling by hand for a radical re-wiring of the brain. The Vimalya alphabet and facing a Sweetgreen. Jacqueline calls out for fountain pens. Kate’s holding on in the hips. The better the healer…the harder...

Kate was the most beautiful she’s ever been two weeks ago. Jacqueline was hospitalized as a child. The fragility of fathers and loaded eye contact with animals are considered. Shame and when Arnie overhears. All detritus must be discarded. From where do you view the week? No more gua sha. Nama said no. Maybe that’s the true medicine.  . . . Edited by Allie Graham. See Privacy Policy at https:...

The hags went for their big night at Jar. Crying while driving, it’s time for the ashram. To identify the true medicine. To be refined in the fires of suffering. The critic. Ice cold water. Tomatoes in November. Loose leaf tea. Thank you’s written in hot fudge. Calling all New York Body Workers and Acupuncture Practitioners. Will we ever develop habits? Christmas drinks. Sneak around the pain. . ....
