The Candle Coven Podcast

Society EN ↓ 93 episodes

We’re Jocelyn and Alaina—queer, married (to each other), co-founders of Bijou Candles, and hosts of The Candle Coven Podcast. We make candles and T-shirts inspired by all the pop culture that made us the way we are: iconic women, cult films, 90s everything, and witchy/spooky stuff. This is our podcast. It’s where we talk about movies that raised us, TV that soothed us, and why pop culture is basically a religion. If you’ve ever identified as “the most smartest” in a Drop Dead Gorgeous kind of way, you’re one of us. Welcome to the Candle Coven. Light a candle and hit play.
