It's Part One of Hot Topics! And honestly? It's giving 101.5 FM's 80's, 90's and today. JP returns to the mic and leads us through our favorite friendship past time: discussing hot topics.

We explore pop culture through the lens of our adolescent influences and current parasocial dynamics, discuss the the highs and lows of classics being live-actioned, share a couple of reviews (if you've not seen Wicked, Part 2...skip through), and end up sashaying to the hottest topics of all. Listen and enjoy, sweet peas!

Faith isn’t always a fixed thing. In this episode, multidimensional artist Avery Youma joins me to explore queerness, spirituality, and the ongoing process of becoming. We get into belief systems, the courage it takes to question them, and the quiet, often tender work of redefining faith on your own terms — with touches of divine femininity and plantcestry along the way. This one is an invitation to find what truly aligns.

If it isn’t obvious…the boys are lonely. In this episode, Beatrice Oshodi, your new favorite Gemini who serves range (I'm talking engineering to astrology), joins me to explore masculinity, emotional homes, and the contradictions —power and tenderness, silence and expression—that shape male loneliness and connection.

Surprise! Just a Dash is back. In this bonus episode, my best friend and co-producer JP flips the mic and interviews me about the hiatus, what’s changed, and why it felt like the right time to return. A little reflection, a lot of honesty, and a proper reintroduction before we dive back in. You ready?

Names help us feel like we belong within our communities, and more importantly, within ourselves. So what happens if that's not the case? What happens when our names make us feel alienated or out of place? And what happens when we reclaim them in effort to feel more at home within our bodies?

Y'all, we have finally arrived at the end of Season 1 & yes, you can blame my Saturn's Return for the delay. Get an earful of nostalgia as I reminisce on this season and what turning 30 means to me. Plus, I get back to the OG inspiration for the show – asking strangers intimate questions!

A special guest also joins me in The Rec Room to chat about Throuple, the movie you'll be highly anticipating post- listen – now go hit play (; Time stamps available below.

In the land of hook-ups, it's complicated and down for anything, how should we tackle conversations about sexual expectations, boundaries and non-verbal cues? While sex has a missionary position, the topic itself is far from basic.

My fabulous roommates – Molly LeGrow, Brendan Brown, and Ximone a.k.a Thee Lord Scorpio – join me for a spicy, insightful and mindful discussion on sex...and we cover quite a bit – from emerging fetishes to navigating intimacy to sexed. Plus, I share a couple hot takes on the latest miscarriages of justice, and the importance of nurturing your energy into a new era of self-care!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains some subject material related to sexual assault.

Claiming one's racial identity can be life-affirming, but it's also a labyrinth shaped by misguided social constructs. One of those tricky constructs? Colorism. Your new fave Virgo, Dawnette Samuels, joins me to explores the history of this expansive topic, and its influence within a variety of industries.

Plus, a reflection on what it means to turn 30, a Word to the Wise that will leave you motivated and a few recommendations to keep that Summer feeling going. Tune in, sweet peas.
