REBEL[LIOUS] Podcast
REBEL[LIOUS] Art. Culture. Human. with Jennifer Esposito and Cat Yezbak We’re tackling the world’s biggest issues… with absolutely no plan to solve them. Each week, we dig into culture—how it shapes us, traps us, and tells us who we’re supposed to be—as artists and as humans, just trying to make it through. We question everything, laugh a lot, offer unsolicited advice, and when it gets too heavy? We dance it out. No answers. Just honesty, rebellion, and a little joy in the chaos.

That’s the sentence that sends Jen and Cat into a full blown melt down. “They” meaning the powers that be- and “miss everything” is well- YOUR LIFE and how as adults we forget to PLAY! It’s a fun, thought provoking, important and quite touching conversation that brings Jen to tears.

Jen and Cat welcomed poet, speaker, author, recording artist and all around remarkable human, Azure Antoinette into the studio.

Along with other amazing humans... producer, Naomi Hogarty, and engineer, Natalie Decicco. Without their support in the booth Jen and Cat would just be talking to themselves. As usual. Ther...
"ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?” 05.11.2025 45:04
Side hustles, a sex hotline, a sex hotline as a side hustle, travel, perspective, identity, dogs, gay tequila, voicemails from Rebellious listeners, and the ever pressing question.... "Do I even OWN a big enough vase?" Jen and Cat unpack it all. While drinking. So pour yourself one too and tune in.
Spoken Words and Magic [Caridad De La Luz] 29.10.2025 49:28
Poetry, activism, spirituality, identity and the reopening of a New York institution — the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Jen and Cat sit down with Emmy-winning poet Caridad De La Luz, also knows as LA BRUJA. You don't want to miss this episode. It's pure magic.

This week on Rebellious, Jen and Cat sit down with award-winning psychotherapist and founder of WellGuide, Israa Nasir.

Rave Out 01.10.2025 33:02
Jen and Cat went to a Rave. Yes, an actual rave. And it was freedom. Freedom from it all. Joy - surrounded by movement, misfits and magic gloves. And no, Jen couldn’t walk the next day but it was totally worth it.
It's Not Her Fault It's The System 24.09.2025 36:14
But how do we override that? We have to first SEE the issue. You were never meant to have a spot to begin with and it’s not Glennon Doyle’s fault. Oh, Jen and Cat go off on this subject. Jen even sings “We Are The World!”
Who Are You In The Difficult Moments [Dr. Elisabeth Potter] 17.09.2025 44:09
You’d think there’d be certain things as human beings that we all could agree on as baseline. One of them being health care. Meet Dr. Elisabeth Potter, who believes this so deeply that she put everything she owns on the line for it. She talks to Jen and Cat about how she’s holding insurance companies’ feet to the fire while fighting for her patients. There need to be more Dr. Potters in the world.
"Girl - Did You Know You'll Be A Woman Soon?" Says Neil Diamond 10.09.2025 38:17

Joy Is Free 03.09.2025 35:26

We Are The Poison. We Are The Medicine. 27.08.2025 49:24
A conversation with Crystal Moselle and Derrick B. Harden, filmmakers who are taking their own advice. We sit down to discuss their movie, “The Black Sea,” breaking the rules in life and in independent cinema and not losing the joy or love of why you set out to make art in the first place.
You're Not Ugly, You're Just Poor. 20.08.2025 34:34
And other positive affirmations from women who support women, Jen and Cat. Society profits off of women's insecurities, women take other women backwards and call it feminism, men sound dumb as dirt in the comment section, and Nancy is still telling us how we should feel. It's exhausting. But hey, the good news is, if you're rich you can always get a new face!
Negative Talk, Inner Assholes and Jennifer Pastiloff 13.08.2025 49:17
But not in that order. Jen and Cat sit down with author Jennifer Pastiloff to talk about her new book, Proof of Life, a National Best Seller, as well as all things asshole-ness. Yes, that's a word. How we look at shame and how we deal with those negative thoughts ( inner asshole ) to be able to give ourselves permission to live the lives we want.
Finger it, Celiac Disease and Girlies. 06.08.2025 38:16
Maybe it’s the tequila or the end of times that make these two have a lot to say this week.

They also talk about the new “messy girl” aesthetic and how you should just finger it. YOUR HAIR, that is. Jeez, get your mind out of the gutter.
