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.

PART 2- Meet the REBEL[LIOUS] Hosts- Cat Yezbak: Two Thumbs Up To Jesus- And Other Things We Do Out Of Fear. 25.06.2025 40:06

In the second half of Meet the Rebel Hosts- Cat is now in the hot seat as Jen asks the questions. Why, even though Cat has been creating for years has she held herself back for years feeling “less then”. Forget calling herself an artist she barely made room for herself to just exist fully. Growing up gay and eating kibbeh may have had something to do with it. If you can relate to allowing the con...

Who would you be? Do you even know? COULD you ever know. This is the essence of what Jen and Cat will try so hard to unravel in this pod and many episodes to come?
