Hunter Harris is a screenwriter and culture critic who writes “Hung Up” on Substack and co-hosts “Lemme Say This” on Wondery. Today she’s on the pod to talk about her voice as a writer and also gets into some of her favorite TV and movies of 2025. She and Eddie critique the shopping culture of New York City and discuss where to go in terms of political optimism following the victory of Zohran Mamdani in the recent mayoral election.

Jason Stewart AKA the Pod GOD stops by Canal Street Dreams this week to make us all laugh more than usual and discuss Jimmy Buffett cuisine. Eddie is persuaded to blow big gas on the pod for the first time (allegedly) to pregame dinosaur halloween. Try and keep up as we discuss chicken and the egg logic with the demonstrable genius of R Kelly. For real, no more teasers, you just gotta listen for yourself fam.

Today we welcome Josh Topolsky to the pod! Josh founded The Verge and The Outline, helped build Vox Media, and has shaped some of the most influential digital brands of the past decade. You won’t hear much about any of that on this episode, because today Josh, Natashia, and Eddie do a deep dive into Eddie’s unhinged relationship with sports: how much he watches, gambles, and why The Knicks are his family. They also talk about compromise in relationships and what their greatest ultimatums are.
