Wellness is a trillion-dollar industry full of scams and snake oil salesmen but comedians and best friends Kate Berlant and Jacqueline Novak just can’t get enough. Join them as they try products and practices, consult healers and experts, and ask the ultimate question: is it truly wellness they’re after or just the thrill of the chase?
This week's episode is a re-airing of a Poog classic: Kate is born anew after being off Social Media and has an office now. Jacqueline proposes a technique for social media moderation. Benefits of negative self-talk are discussed. Pop psychology. Jacqueline shows off her writing devices, the Freewrite and her new tented ergonomic keyboard, the Moonlander. Language continues to decay. White knuckling serves no one. The things we do ...
A compilation episode of the Hags talking restaurants. Cherries rolling on the hardwood, Alice Waters, Restorative Broth, Microgreens in a menu item, and dining alone. The anchor of the torq causing the spill. Black cloth napkins. Abandoning a brunch. Share plates. Table for four at Festoon? Going in together, raw. A bottle for the kitchen.

This week's episode is a cross episode compilation of Kate's Jamaica Incident with the Boys in Philly. We're the best law firm in the world. 7 beers for the band. Sometimes you have to be the entire reason someone goes on the vacation. Whoa, guys? That's my suitcase! Diving straight into the lagoon. You don't pay for the room, you pay for the lock. Recourse. Not some kind of error of mere negligence occurred. They're lucky violence...
London, do you have your tickets for KATE? Poog is on tiktok now (@thisispoog). One slutty pair of heels, one sensible pair of heels and the erotics of the full bottle on the trip. Half a klonopin, straight to heaven. The housing is the theater. What is a calendar but a broken promise? Tracing the thoughts. It’s the same year, every year. The candle and the opportunity to be that candle. Is @chanel gonna be the first legacy prestig...

This is a comedy podcast run by a couple of bitches. A mandatory hour a day at the library or you become branded. Kate tried to return air, two open hands, and a frown.

Kate finally watched The Deepest Breath. Calling all London Hags, Kate will be in town doing her show. Jacqueline was confronted with bovine ideas at home and advised on a smoothie. The linking of guilt and pleasure. Candy Bomb and bad coffee. Photos attached to ...

This week the hags are formally begging for Armra powder, vouchers for sessions at Pause, and cases of Swoon, after weeks of free promotion. Whether or not to talk of one’s diminishment. Ice packs for naps. Kate is punished at the nail salon. Jacqueline is blinded by inert furniture. High risk bookcase behavior. Leaving is what makes it a practice. Freediving and swimming toward the light. The Sysiphisian pursuit of a protein smoot...
Vintage delights including reflections on: continental breakfast, a water visit, the perfect seashell, the last liminal space, a bag taken off the belt and an uber catastrophe. Thank you for flying PoogAir.

Kate and community. Her social, caffeinated mornings in the neighborhood. The inherently Jewish ability to dazzle a coffee shop. Kate's interested in Prolon, Jacqueline's famously done the Master Cleanse and broke it with cream. Pure curiosity and… maybe abs. The 'wonder of it all' is actually in the way. Bootcamp for brushing your teeth and getting good at the mail. Writing like the chair is about to be pulled out from under you. ...
This week's episode is a re-airing of a Poog classic, as the hags: reflect on the seductive archetype of the young prodigy. The problem with better babies. Juilliard. Harvard. Lying for self-esteem.

Kate’s back from Rome and Jacqueline is fresh off a nap. Screens on the flight. Can we get this man a board? Unbelievably, unexpectedly granted access to a lounge. Best Pret. Double salads and puddings. What does it mean to pull a Novak? Cooking for two and divvying up the portions. Live wood, but not. Memories of Olive Boulee. How did you learn about airport lounge policies? War torn over a warm meal in the air, the comfort of fir...
You’re not a fraud if your pathology briefly lifts. Kate has found a pretty good deodorant and Jacqueline replies to a friend’s Bader inquiry. Eye contact with an advertisement. A particular makeup wipe is affirmed. The airport lounge doesn’t allow takeout. Kate is headed to Rome. Toxicity levels in the back of the plane. Night malls. The heaven poem, revisited.

When you recommend Poog and it’s a couple of broads sitting in silence. Beyond the smear, the dribble, the dry ice of molecular gastronomy. The bedroom eye and a fundamental misunderstanding of the magic. Electrolyte cocktails and a quiet addiction. Don’t carry your food on a river of water. Do send this one to your friends.

The romance and intensity of the movie theater experience is explored. The hags expand on the experience of separ...
Kate got eaten alive and will die in this town. Days before the taping, JN has and hasn’t let go. A porridge is introduced but no mugs will suffice for dinner. The British in Hollywood. An Oscar special must be done. Haunted shapewear trips, haunted organ meat meals.

A glimpse into the Hags’ text thread, sisterhood. Unexpected Poog listeners continue to reveal themselves. Seeing an ad for a product you already have. If it's truly the shadow, you do not see it. Dreams of an owl. 5 foot feather boa, for the community. The neck is gone. Kate circles back on stem cells and packing light.

Kate’s been out dancing the night away again and Jacqueline got THE facial. An inexplicable pimple’s origin. Motor Mouth in the Chair, Celsius in the Mouth. Was it… the umbilical all along? The hags don’t claim to be the experts. Low-level zinging is occurring. Wedding confusion is cleared up and eating before bed finally addressed. Whose water bottle is truly larger? Matcha Americano Style, Propolis, Deep Chocolate, and people as ...
