| 14 Feb 2025 | Healing Air-Ruh with Bree Webber | Ep. 20 | 00:50:08 | |
Film school? A scam. Hollywood? A mess. Learning to channel your trauma into art? Unfortunately, necessary. Special guest Bree Webber (@breexwebber) joins Izzie and Jesse to unpack the state of showbiz in LA—how the industry’s shifting landscape has left artists scrambling, why film school still pretends streaming doesn’t exist, and how turning your messiest life experiences into art is the only way to survive. Also, My 600lb Life might be the realest love story on TV, and “sodies” are a lifestyle.

| 20 Nov 2024 | Hardly Strangers: Embrace the PLUR | Ep. 13 | 00:59:00 | |
TL;DR: Hardly Strangers is the romance novel you didn’t know you needed, this pod ep will make you laugh-cry, and if Alana doesn’t write a sequel, Jesse is showing up with a pitchfork. 🌈📚 “Hardly Strangers” out now: https://831stories.com/products/hardly-strangers-by-a-c-robinson Babe, you’re not ready for this week’s NiGHT SCHOOL. Our literary icon Alana Cloud-Robinson has blessed the world with Hardly Strangers, her debut novel that’s part romance, part emotional therapy session, and 100% iconic. Naturally, we dedicate the entire episode to breaking it down, crying over it, and, of course, demanding a sequel because we’re invested. Jesse kicks things off already spiraling, demanding to know what happens after the book ends. Pancakes? Paris? Babies? Alana details going “full Stephen King mode” writing it in a fugue state, only to later panic about whether it’s good (spoiler: it’s great). Isabella and Jesse devour it like it’s brunch after a night out, sobbing over the audiobook (even the acknowledgments, because this crew is dramatic). Speaking of emotional journeys, the gang dives deep into the book’s climactic moment, where Shera confronts her deepest trauma. Alana reveals this was inspired by her own life, describing how writing it was both cathartic and soul-crushing. Jesse applauds her for turning pain into art, while also demanding justice for the fictional characters she left hanging. Oh, and the anecdotes? Gold. Alana casually reveals she once took a walk with a random man while waiting for her date to show up. Bold. Jesse spirals into full Misery mode, vowing to kidnap Alana if she doesn’t write a sequel. Isabella sprinkles in deep life lessons like, “Vulnerability isn’t wasted” and “Embrace the plur” (because yes, EDM somehow makes its way into the episode). Ultimately, this episode is a love letter to Alana’s book, to fleeting moments of connection, and to the power of laying it all on the line—even if it’s scary. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, and hilarious.

| 30 Nov 2024 | Cold Sores, Crying, & Nightmare Bl*nt Rotation | Ep. 14 | 00:43:20 | |
We’re serving literary debuts, dream blunt rotations, and sharing our latest crying session. Alana’s debut novel Hardly Strangers is officially OUT, and the chaos of writing it is giving "main character breakdowns but make it chic." From outlining (who knew it works?) to full-on psychosis, Alana spills all the tea on crafting her romance masterpiece. Next, we’re diving into our ultimate dream/nightmare blunt rotation, and let’s just say it’s chaotic AF. Think Katt Williams, Gabby Windey, JoJo Siwa, and Azealia Banks all stuck in a hot boxed trailer. Sprinkle in a little extra chaos and throw Grimes into the mix (but only if you’re feeling brave). Would it be iconic? Probably. A total nightmare? Absolutely. Get ready for laughs, existential dread, and a dash of heartwarming chaos. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe, because if we’re crying over cold sores and obituaries, the least you can do is follow along. 💅 Submit advice questions: tinyurl.com/nightschooladvice Follow us on Instagram @nightschoolpod Subscribe on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3wkYfJqQy50A1ED8gGA89b?si=9989cc5f9f6941b7 Follow Jesse on Instagram @jessezand Follow Alana on Instagram @alanacloudrobinson & Substack: https://substack.com/@acrobinson Follow Izzy on Instagram @astreetcarnamedesire “Hardly Strangers” out now: https://831stories.com/products/hardly-strangers-by-a-c-robinson Produced by Keida Mascaro | |||

| 06 Dec 2024 | Live, Laugh, Love at Dave & Busters | Ep. 15 | 00:48:13 | |
Jesse, Alana, and Izzy stumble through their oh-so-enlightened realizations about love, including why "dangerous" people are not your soulmate (shocking), and how stability is not boring—just grown. Somewhere, a therapist is beaming with pride. Jesse spills about going to Dave & Buster’s on election day…as a first date. Alana reflects on her apocalyptic last venture to Dave & Busters featuring a heroic dose of mushrooms and menstruation. Alana drops life-changing wisdom for Jesse and gives the girls, gays and dolls an anthem: You’re nobodies f*** mop.

Apologies for the delay schoolies. Jesse has been girlbossing too close to the sun and got behind. BUT FRET NOT! This episode kicks off doing what we do best - labeling and categorizing each other’s personalities. Can you guess which girl is “coded” as the following? Comment your guesses! CVS Sun (highly medicated, makeup flawless) Hobby Lobby Moon (crafty, homebody, gets the yapping zoomies before bed) Walmart Moon (need underwear, tampons, and a f*rearm? look no further!) Then, we design each other’s dating profiles and finally we discuss how we believe our future children will be/act like.

| 10 Oct 2024 | Pop Stars & Revenge | Ep. 07 | 00:51:03 | |
This week the girls discuss how they perceive themselves, how they think the world perceives them, how to get revenge on an ex in a demure "non-law-breaking" manner, and their earliest childhood memories. This episode is particularly unhinged with Alana discussing her intra uterine memories, an admission from Izzie that she stole money from Alana, and accusations that Jesse is "tiny and h*rny" (not not wrong). Izzie also gets in a fight with our producer Keida, and Jesse talks about how a guy once paid her on venmo just to talk to her. We have a closet sale in Los Angeles Oct 12-13.

The girls kick off spooky season with a tarot card reading, discuss Izzie's A1 wingwoman-ing, and answer some SPICY listener questions (tw:cheating). Alana shares a fun story about a date she went on in her early 20s with a celebrity, Jesse rails against men (as a whole and a concept), Jesse shares a bit more on facial blindness debacle, and Izzie shares her "reverse uno" theory on superstition. 10/10 chaos. | |||
