Two recovering straight-A Millenial ladies just stompin' around and figuring it all out. Join Ashby and Coco as they trade in textbooks for real talk from the school of life. Each week they dive into articles, books, conversations, and culture—unpacking the complicated themes that shape our world. With curiosity, humor, and a dash of existential dread, they apply the only skills they have (read: turning everything into a grad school discussion seminar) to try to make sense of these nonsensical times.
