The Air We Breathe

Auteur(s): The Air We Breathe Pod
  • Résumé

  • The Air We Breathe is where sharp humor meets deep reflection. Join two sarcastic women who happen to be cousins—one married with kids, one divorced and dating—as they laugh through life’s biases absorbed from pop culture, media, and family. From dissecting Disney (Was Beauty and the Beast just toxic?) to unpacking body image through DJ Tanner fainting on a Stairmaster. This isn’t just another “hot take” podcast—it’s a laugh-out-loud exploration of how the invisible fog of implicit bias shapes our daily lives, relationships, and decisions. Question the world while giggling at it!

  • Episode 104: Misogyny, Mystery Bed Poops and Tom Selleck?
    Jan 19 2025

    In this very NSFW episode, we dive into the insidious ways misogyny permeates our favorite pop culture moments—from Elle Woods’ uphill battle in Legally Blonde to Will Hunting’s instant respect in Good Will Hunting. We question why women must constantly prove their worth, while men often get the benefit of the doubt.


    We also reflect on personal stories of subtle and overt sexism, examine media narratives like Friends, Sex and the City, and The Notebook, and ask: Why is one person’s grand romantic gesture cute and another’s “crazy”? Of course, we sprinkle in laughs, sarcasm, and more than a little banter about celebrity gossip, unexpected gender dynamics, and a certain “bend and snap.”


    Join us as we dissect the stories we’ve been breathing in for years, challenge implicit biases, and, most importantly, laugh through the discomfort. No diggity, no doubt—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
