This is it, friends. 75+ guests, 89 episodes, and almost 40,000 downloads later -- Sssh! Periods is coming to an end. Join us for our last episode as we reminisce about the good, the bad, and the many, many times Luke has roasted Ms. Huq and her extensive collection of cardigans (that part may not have made it to the final cut, but trust that it was very much a part of the recording). Thank you for being our listeners and for stick...
The podcasters have some burning questions for former college student/current 7th grade English teacher, Ms. Huq.
ANOTHER one! We uncovered an episode we recorded (and then forgot about) so we thought we should let this see the light of day. Special guest James Stefanik gets interviewed by pandemic podcasters Annely, Josmelkis, Parousia and Cristal on the awkward moments you encounter while adulting.
It's Christmas time, y'all! We're talking clothes, grandmas knitting sweaters, and whose Christmas dinner has the best seasoning (hot tip: it's all in the Goya packets).
TikTok got us talking about trans identities and whether or not trans women can get periods. Another blast from the past (and by the past we mean 2021, which at this point was 2 weeks ago).
New year, old us! Yes, we're late to the conversation about DaBaby's homophobic comments from his concert in 2021 but also this IS a pandemic year and time is a construct anyway, so...enjoy.
A very chaotic episode about women's bodies, the male gaze, and whose responsibility it is if a woman's pants are too tight.
Sade, Josmelkis, Fatima, Annely and 13 (aka Aissatou) weigh in on the pressure parents put on their kids' bodies to fit some ideal that nobody understands.
We're following up on last week's episode with an in-person rant session on starting beef in the group chat and why social media can be toxic.
The last episode we recorded during the pandemmy! Well, the pandemic is still ongoing but you know what we mean. Pandemic podcasters Parousia, Kadidja, Annely, and Josmelkis weigh in on the pressure they feel to fake a personality on social media.
What's Thanksgiving like for you? Do you get stabbed by a fork because your elbows touch the table? Did your family leave the plastic on your turkey and give you food poisoning? Are your parents out here asking you personal conversations? This episode is for you!
Uncovered a pandemic episode that we had never released! Pandemic podcasters Camilla, Parousia, Josmelkis, and Annely weigh in on the challenges young people face when deciding to come out.
Professional former student James sits down with co-host Ms. Huq to take questions from middle schoolers on the highs and lows of high school.
The newest batch of podcasters weigh in on the past 18 months of pandemic life and answer the question: would you rather be doing school in person or online?
6th graders Raizel, Annely, Tatiana, Sade and Josmelkis share thoughts on body shaming. In short, don't do it! It's gross and nobody wins.
We're BACK IN PERSON! For the first time in 18 months we are recording LIVE from SCHOOL like back in the yee yee old times. It's good to be back and ranting about the topic of the day, which happens to be homework (and why it is trash).
This week, the 6th graders discuss how culture gets co-opted to be "trendy," anti-Asian hate, police violence against black people, and just how much racism plain sucks.
The 6th graders are back! And they have a message for you: Give women credit for all that they do, y'all.
From what we eat to how we dress and when our parents need us to translate for them, we out here on the struggle bus. #immigrantkidlife
The 6th graders interview current and past middle schoolers about their relationships with their parents. Spoiler: a lot of times, it's not pretty.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
