The Podcast Podcast

Lisa and Dita watch the ebb and flow of the tides with Making Gay History by Eric Marcus. Roll up your cuffs and stand with them in the surf as they ponder the social construction of time and the circularity of human history. Also in the spray: problematic ad spokespersons, agony aunts, and... puppets?

Lisa and Dita train for their first marathon swim with "The Mel Robbins Podcast". Zip up your wetsuit and try to keep pace while they cover grocery store beer selection, how to be like Sarah Bareilles, and adult wedgies. Disclaimer: Lisa and Dita are two friends with a podcast, not self-help gurus, and after three self-help shows, cannot vouch for the efficacy of any anecdotes shared on a podcast about changing your life by marginal gains.

Lisa and special guest host Vert wade around in the warm turbid waters of "The Magnus Archives". Slosh along as they discuss blackberries (the fruit), sub-optimal podcast to ad ratios, and how old TV did it better. And, just a reminder, don't give the fish a cigarette when it asks.

Lisa and Dita cruise down the river Rhône with Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding. Take in the scenery and sip a root beer while they talk about the best soda water flavors, the reliability of polygraph tests, and the finer points of the true crime podcast industry. Don't forget to duck for the low bridge.

Lisa and Dita chum the waters with Freakonomics MD, hosted by Dr. Bapu Jena. Brace for the feeding frenzy as they talk about 70s economics, inhospitable hospitals, and the harms of the Freakonomics research methodology. For this one, they're gonna need a bigger boat. And some socialized medicine wouldn't go amiss either.

Lisa and Dita bungie jump from the bridge of If Books Could Kill with Michael Hobbes and Peter Shamshiri. Get ready to be nudged off after them while they talk about annoying dietary restrictions, whether genders are actually just carbs, and how libertarianism doesn't work. Follow for this one cool life hack that will rock your world!

Lisa and Dita go spelunking for a long lost lake with Stuff You Missed in History Class with Tracy V. Wilson and Holly Frey. Turn on your headlamp and follow our intrepid friends as they discuss making your own soda, tomatoes as vegetables, and 5th grade gym class. If it hits you in the head, it's a Stalactite, if it hits you in the butt, it's a Stalagmite.

Lisa and Dita attempt their splashiest cannonballs with Smartless with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes. No running on the pool deck, so walk as they cover fireworks, actors who act, and Priceline's ad strategies. And don't let Sigourney Weaver talk you into a breath holding contest, she's a ringer.

Dita and Lisa enter the calm, tepid waters of the Maximized Minimalist with Katy Joy Wells. It's adult swim time, no toys allowed, so do a few laps while they discuss kombucha, 90s cartoons, and cling tightly to their possessions. It's like they always say, don't throw your books out with the bathwater.

Lisa and Dita perform synchronized pirouettes underwater with Hi Jinkx! with Jinkx Monsoon. Nab seats in the front row to be splashed with conversations covering: Roommate hunting drudgery, how drag isn't for everyone, and the true magic of sitcom witches. No, they aren't crying, they just got chlorine in their eyes, honest!

Lisa and Dita wade through the rivers of time with Pod Meets World. Wind your watches and listen to them tick-tock-tick-talk about sitcom tv shenanigans, America's sweetheart Nancy Kerrigan, child actors, and another root beer barrel update. Oh, and more yelling about ads. Turns out a 6 year age difference is pretty huge when you're a kid, but is just good podcast fodder when you're adults.

Lisa and Dita bust out their water wings and hop into the kiddie pool with The Arthur Podcast! Eavesdrop from your poolside lounger as they talk about summer, childhood in the 90s, and capitalism in kids "edutainment". Lisa wanders off the rails a bit on her own personal conspiracy theory.

Dita and Lisa take themselves out for a moonlit walk on the beach with Date Yourself Instead with Lyss Boss. Stroll with them as they talk about Lisa's worst car, how TikTok influencers really aren't all experts, and how their standards for websites are once again way too high. It's not third wheeling if you're paired up with yourself!

Lisa and Dita surf the tides with Waveform by MKBHD! Slather on that SPF and ride along as they discuss very good dogs, in-car stereos, lumber, and the importance of unions! 

Dita and Lisa bob along capitalist rivers with WSJ What's News. Grab a flotation device and join them for a chat about their origin story, mega-corporation profits, and inexplicably the projects of another podcast host: Dan Sinker of Says Who. And remember kids, root beer barrels may be delicious, but they are not suitable river craft.

Dita & Lisa strap on their scuba gear for a deep dive with Mysterious Radio! Topics include the joy that is bread, sunshine in Florida, and how bears were the cryptid we needed all along. Don't forget to check your conspiracy theories for antisemitism at least half an hour before jumping into the pool.

Lisa and Dita play in the lawn sprinklers with The Yard! Is Monaco within the boundaries of France? Are eSports streamers homies or kinda cringe? And why is Lisa's truck so angry?

Dita and Lisa ride the waterslide and land in the pool of Financial Feminist with Tori Dunlap! Along the many twists and turns they encounter showers for short people, 401ks and the realization that for 40 dollars, they too could have a website. But wait. They already do!

That's not mud, it's peanut butter. Lisa and Dita wade through the (fuller than ever) swamp that is American politics, with #SistersInLaw, guided by Joyce Vance, Jill Wine-Banks, Barb McQuade, & Kimberly Atkins-Stohr . Follow along as they explore the murky waters of the justice system, influencer advertisements, and the ethics of picking up a prescription.

Lisa and Dita splash around in the wading pool that is On Being by Krista Tippett. Grab a floaty and join us as we discuss fences, philosophy, and the importance of language.

Dita and Lisa dive into the depths of literature with Dita’s top pick, Bookfight! by Mike Ingram and Tom McAllister. Discussions include: Henry David Thoreau's laundry, BTS fanfiction, and the secret to reading way too many books (hint: it's insomnia).

Lisa and Dita dive into familiar waters with Lisa's personal podcast choice: Maintenance Phase by Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes. Tag along as they discuss snow, apple cider vinegar, what conversations you should and shouldn't have with friends, and some bonus scurvy!

Our inaugural episode! Lisa and Dita go over the rules of the sea, and test the waters with "Says Who" by Dan Sinker & Maureen Johnson.
