| 09 Feb 2022 | New York, 1 Year Later | 00:40:46 | |
It's been almost exactly 1 year since Crystal has moved to New York City - and, over that past year, many more of our friends have been moving to "The Big Apple" as well! Whether it's the liveliness of the city, the famous restaurants, or just the vague image of the city we remember from shows like "Friends" and "How I Met Your Mother", there's something about New York City that calls to us. Today we discuss how NYC has brought out different sides of Crystal and impacted things like financial priorities, making plans, and not yelping at subway rats!

| 16 Feb 2022 | #GIRLTALK: Periods & Sexual Health | 01:03:37 | |
We have a lot of complicated feelings about our period. We’re no longer the shy teenagers at school who whispered about our periods, but we’re not necessarily the biggest fans of the monthly ritual either, especially not when it comes with cramps, acne, and mood swings. However, we DO love relating with other women and all people with periods about our shared experiences for all things “taboo”, including gynocologist exams and STD tests! Tune in to hear us connect with Melinda and Uma from @lets.sync.health about periods & sexual health. Let's Sync is a platform & community to learn and chat on all things gender and health in an open, inclusive, and encouraging way. They believe that together, we can all become more informed and confident on these topics. Their IG features a lot of cool resources so go check out their page @lets.sync.health!

Find My Friends, Facebook ads, spam calls… They’re always watching you! Today we talk about how to find that perfect sweet spot between technology and privacy (if it even exists). 18:55 Facebook scandal is referring to what started with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and has grown into a whole debacle over what companies can and can't do (and what they actually are doing) with our individual information. Now Facebook is tied up in various controversies and more scandals, honestly we can barely keep up now too. 32:55 "use that voice" meaning the spam callers record your voice on the phone. 37:25 If you want to see the videos of people hacking the spam callers' computers,YouTuber Kitboga has a collection of spam caller revenge videos. 38:35 "receiving a gift card from spam callers" was remembered slightly wrong here; what happened was people would use the scam caller's tactics right back at them. Kitboga once again has an example of this. 44:20 "deep fakes" are referring to convincingly doctored videos/images/audio using artificial intelligence (and often, an NVIDIA graphics card).

Most newly working adults could probably relate - after the fluttering unfamiliarity of your first adult job dissipates, your 9-6 work schedule (how is that even legal anyways?!) with your 2-3 hour commute (which is terrible for your back) leaves you with no energy to do anything else except scroll through social media for 3 hours on your couch until you finally drag yourself to go shower. Trying to fit in all of your errands and housework on the weekends is easy enough, until you realize you need to leave time to hang out with your friends, hit the gym, maintain some hobbies.
