Your Weekly Breakdown

It’s 2026, we’re ten days in, and already debating whether being called a “podcaster” is a slur. Em + Cait unpack New Year identity crises, MILF discourse, and why softness might be the most terrifying resolution of all.

This week on Your Weekly Breakdown , Em + Caitlin spiral (gently) from burnout and big-fat book stacks into airport empathy, 2-star Apple reviews, + the shocking discovery that Nantucket is absolutely ripping cocaine. Along the way: strippers save Xmas, a German Shepherd eats $100 underwear, and AI content is officially declared SLOP. There’s joy, grief, French girl crushes, rogue Turning Point US...

Running on fumes, rage, and one ridiculously embarrassing story, this episode of Your Weekly Breakdown ricochets from feral morning energy to a surprisingly sharp cultural autopsy: Diddy documentaries, horny hockey romances, collapsing math skills, news from TikTok, AI deepfakes, banned words, trad-wife hypocrisy, digital detoxes, hockey canada, data centres, pipeline politics, and—mercifully—a ho...

In this week's episode, Em and Cait spiral (lovingly) through everything from Rosalía’s divine-chaotic new album to the absolute fever dream of being named one of Apple Podcasts’ Best of 2025.

Cait + Em are smart, soft, slightly over it, and extremely anti-jeans-on-a-yacht. This week on the pod they spiral (politely) from social anxiety to hosting dinners, to hobbies and gorpcore fashion.
