Rebel Hearts Podcast

Today, I make the 2024 debut with a new episode exploring how I think comparing Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" era to Jojo Siwa's is very misguided, I also touch on how pop music getting called "bubblegum pop" is just used to discredit young women in music.

Today, I finally got to sit down and talk with my friend Julian aka The Cozy Representative on Youtube and we talk about how despite not understanding or agreeing with it, music is somehow or at least was when we grew up, gendered and we talk about how we both grew up thinking we didn't belong in the spaces we loved so much because how the music we loved was packaged to us and how despite that we learned not to let it define how we digested and listened to it.

TW// talk of predators Today, after a long unexpected hiatus, I recruited a longtime internet friend and Youtuber Paige to help bring Rebel Hearts back to life.

Today, I went through my Twitter bookmarks after being on a break and I talked about the deal with Manchester Pride and Ariana Grande, the ridiculous merch Chris B*own made, I went on a rant about minding your business about celebrity relationships and how I feel about the toxicity of wanting to know about things that don't concern us, and a quick recap of the Oscar highlights. Music Featured: King Princess "Pussy is God" (https://kingprincessmusic.com/) Intro Song: Troye Sivan "My My My"

Today, one of my closest friends joins me for the first time on Rebel Hearts, founding member of the movie gang, Chad! Chad and I have a long history of watching movies together from living the Movie Pass (R.I.P) dream, to expanding our friendship across state lines. Today is Sunday which is Oscar night and in addition to episode 53, Chad and I talk about our ballots for tonight's show and how we think and who we want to win. Also towards the end we watch and react to the trailer for my most talked about least favorite movie, "The Snowman".

Today, Pat and I talk about the Oscars, which is very funny because this year we saw maybe 3 of the movies nominated this year. We also talked about The Grammy winners and disagreed on a lot of things. Basically, justice for Gritty, and thank GOD "This is America" got what it deserved. Music Featured: Fletcher "Undrunk" (On Spotify and Itunes) Intro Song: Ariana Grande "Imagine"

Today, I wanted to talk about mental health and how I was writing a book that almost destroyed me and my own. This wasn't supposed to be an episode, but I wanted to talk about being on a social media break and how I thought I was coping with something traumatic but in turn was doing more damage, and how I came out the other side of it. 2018 was a very hard year, and 2019 has been about learning and growing, I hope listeners can get some sort of hope or peace from this. Articles:...

Happy 2019! Today, I talk about "Surviving R. Kelly", Drake and why we should unstan, how the weeknd made a poor choice with his new song, all the beef surrounding "7 rings" and musicians being at the mercy of their mental health.

**AT ONE POINT I SAY DEMI LOVATO PRESENTED HAYLEY KIYOKO WITH HER BILLBOARD AWARD. IT WAS LAUREN JAUREGUI! THAT WAS MY MISTAKE AND THERE ARE TOO MANY FILES FOR ME TO FIX THE EPISODE BUT IT IS NOT DEMI LOVATO!** Today, is episode 50 of Rebel Hearts. Wow. I had Pat by my side as we talked about a lot of things. Ariana Grande in general but the Thank U, Next video, the really poorly written article (now taken down) about how she was anti queer, anti trans, and her "heterosexual narrative", her being told she's milking Mac Miller's death, and her Billboard "Woman of the Year" speech. We also talked about the 2019 Grammy nominations and it's diversity (finally) and why I think some of the noms were strange. We also talked about Poppy and Grimes and also touched on Matty Healy's comment about how there isn't misogyny in rock n roll and then his apology. Thank you for 50 episodes. Here's to more.

Today, Pat and I talked about Kanye and how we are tired of "celebrities" jamming their MAGA agenda down our throats when all we are trying to do is survive this shitty political climate, why we still don't support Azalea Banks, and how Lana Del Rey remains one of our favorites.
