They're women in STEM, hardcore Swifties, book-obsessed, and chaotically funny (a necessity for countering that Central New York seasonal depression).

    summer plans & buffalo traffic jams
    May 25 2026

    What starts as a catch-up about the end of the school year quickly devolves into chaos as we share our plans for upcoming concerts and our #researchgirl eras because we really can do it all this summer!!

    Along the way, we unpack the mystery of Buffalo Traffic Jam, revisit some questionable acts of vandalism, and dive further into the anxiety-inducing amount of music coming out soon...

    As always, happy listening :)

    college hacks & half-truths
    Mar 28 2026

    Why relax on spring break when you can give strangers on the internet unsolicited advice instead? In this second chapter, we do exactly that, covering everything from making friends in college to keeping up with academics. Along the way, we find ourselves once again on the subject of iced coffee and battle it out with a mildly unhinged round of two truths and a lie!


    We're so glad you came back, happy listening :)
