In this episode, Papa Seer explores the life of Father George Simms, known as the “Frizzly Rooster,” a New Orleans preacher who embodied the duality of light and shadow. Revered for his sermons at Myrtle Wreath Hall and sought after for his ability to heal, curse, and predict fates, Father Simms navigated both the sacred and the occult. From crafting love powders and justice spells to his mysterious initiation of Zora Neale Hurston, this video uncovers the layers of a man whose power left an indelible mark on hoodoo and New Orleans folklore.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
