Ever feel like you are begrudgingly trying to find joy in your life? You’re not alone. The news, doom scrolling, your nana casually flying a flag promoting a hate group we all thought died out decades ago…it’s a rough world out there. No matter how hard it gets, we all have to find the positivity happening in this hellscape called Earth. Let us do the dirty work to prove that even though we’re all secretly hoping that deadly asteroid arrives sooner rather than later, we can still find our community, gather around the dumpster fire, and have some Pleasant Conversations.Pleasant Conversations 社会科学

  • How Many More Times Can I Say Episodes?
    2025/07/07

    This week's episode drops right after the Fourth of July, and the fireworks are going off in the studio! (Watch your fingers!)


    Our hosts' smiles are filled with love. Jasmine gushes about her new job, and Michael gushes about Cree Summer for way too long. The news brings us stories of HIV drug developments, a silly bear trapped in plastic (NOT Michael for once), and support for families affected by ICE. Michael reviews both “M3GAN 2.0” and “Ironheart”.


    The Wheel of Topics brings up bad advice our hosts have received in education. Ashes and Embers include lost debit cards, fun trips with good friends, sleep, and employment.


    We end with good advice from our affirmation cards, and an explosive “I’m Pleasant, Damn It”.


    Don your American flag apparel, channel your inner Little Edie, and join us for another pleasant conversation!

  • It’s Going to Make Me Sound a Little WooWoo
    2025/06/30

    Move over, Sylvia Browne! This week, we end Pride month by casting magic missile and are joined by our spiritual advisor, Lucas!


    We reminisce about how we met and when we all had an adventure together a few years back. Then we get into some mystical s*** right off the bat, which sends us on a tangent about animals (shocker).


    The news brings us stories of Utah Pride, a Midwest town’s first-ever drag show, Italian LGBTQ+ family rights, and Hungarian Pride in the face of conservatism.


    The Wheel of Topics brings us our very first mini game: Keep It or Cut it—Queer Tropes. Will it get us canceled by the queer community? Only the Fates know for sure. But there are definitely some hot takes.


    Lucas shares a beautifully spiritual Ashes & Embers, whilst Michael and Jasmine get petty. We then get a great bonus card for our weekly affirmation.


    Hopefully, you won’t have to smudge your space after listening to the episode. Set your intentions, blend your margaritas, turn on some Harry Nilsson, and join us for our pleasant conversation!

  • No Legs, But Dairy…Legendary
    2025/06/23

    It’s the third episode in our Pride celebration! We welcome our friend Zachary (aka Gorgeous) to the pod this week, and Michael has met his match when it comes to podcast Chatty Kathy’s. Our hosts and guest catch up and quickly fall down the Disney rabbit hole (as they are wont to do).


    Gorgeous becomes our new arts correspondent and gives us his thoughts on the Tony Awards. Apologies to non-theater people, but this takes over our news segment. Have a listen and get some culture! Speaking of culture, our Wheel of Topics will give you some fun Pride month media recs.


    The episode is chock-full of laughs, corny jokes, and celebrating community. Don your best awards show attire, tell Patti Lupone to shut her brassy, magnificent trap, and join us for another pleasant conversation!
