Best Friends Sharing Interesting Sh*t
Okay, okay, okay. This podcast started out with five life-long friends sharing interesting shit about beauty, mental health, science and history. It's devolved into a variety show where we share a mish-mash of whatever strikes our fancies. Lisa mostly talks about history but takes detours onto the Murdoch mayhem on the regular. Drea presents science in the unorthodox way that only someone who took a class nicknamed Math for Morons can muster. Meags is the trivia/beauty queen. Carey's contributions are beyond categorization. Kathy adds flavor and sometimes a topic. We'd love you to listen, laugh and learn as we explore each other's unique interests.

This week's episode is all about self-care. Lisa covers meditation. Drea goes all in about panic attacks - her own five-hour episode, what they are, what the hell is happening to your body, and what to do about it. Meags takes a short and sweet approach to self-help advice.
Okay, there are no taunts. It just sounded good. But really, Lisa, Kathy, Drea and Meags share little Halloween treats with their guests. Lisa covers haunts, Kathy takes on candy, Meags does the hot takes and Drea...well, she went all abstract and shit.
Meags hits the girls up with wedding questions - how many you been in? Weirdest experience? Did your fulfill your childhood dreams?
Drea leads the ladies through a discuss of wildfires, coal seams, coal seam mythology, plants that love fire and the reintroduction of bison somewhere in the Alps.
Drea hosts a conversation about the little understood world of the intersex, formerly known as the hermaphrodites. The ladies learned all kinds of things about the wonky genitalia of our intersex pals, animals who magically change their sex and animals and insects who get the best of both worlds.

Did you know that magnificent kingdom of Fungi was considered a subspecies to plants until 1969? That they populated rocks a billion years ago and made terrestrial life possible? Yeah, none of us did either. In this episode, Drea will educate you, in her own, unique way, about the fungus among us.

You'll get answers to those questions and a whole lot more from our special guest and very dear friend, Nancy who is an immigration lawyer, on today's episode.

She wrapped those noises into a neat little story about the Rise and Fall and Rise of Gorongosa National Park that took place from the time Portugal set the land aside as a hunting range in the 1920s, through the ravages of a two decade civil war in the late 20th century, to the ongoing effort to reestablish this wonderf...
