    I Lived Bitch! w/ Ellie Schnitt
    Mar 4 2026
    Julia is joined by bestie of the pod Ellie Schnitt to dissect the organ transplant industrial complex (figuratively)! Ellie lends her expertise as the proud owner of a gently used kidney to help unpack the wild history of transplantation, the misconceptions and ethics surrounding organ donation, and the surreal, life-altering experience of waking up with a new lease on your body. Digressions include Ballerina Farm's completely predictable raw milk controversy, taking thirst traps in the hospital bathroom, and why the last person you want to hear from after major surgery is your flop ex. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette.

    Jan 28 2026

    Julia and Eliza team up for another bad book club episode in which they review Colleen Hoover's newest work of experimental autofiction: Woman Down.

Digressions include Taylor Swift's subpoenaed text messages, Eliza recapping her personal Rabiesgate, and apt comparisons to Hunter S Thompson.
