Ep. 69: Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Scientology
October 12, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 229 MBLet's wrap up season 2 with a bang. Our longest episode to date is fitting for these intense topics. This week, join our heroes as they discuss the invasion of the body snatchers. Imagine coming home to your partner, but it isn't quite them?! Is it all in your head? Or, are you onto something? Everything is not what it seems. Next, join Allison as she gives her long-winded account of one of the most interesting religions of our time; scientology. Join us as we wrap up season 2! Cheers!
Ep. 68: Shrinks and L Ron Hubbard
September 28, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 163 MBShrink your problems, or shrink your head(?), but whatever you do, don’t shrink away from this episode! Why are therapists called shrinks? Let’s go down the shrunken rabbit hole and explain all the possible reasons beginning in the Amazon and ending with an Austrian. Then Allison expands our minds to consider how a pulp science fiction writer turned into the founder of a new religious movement. This story is stranger than it seems. Ps. Was anyone else just as shocked as CA to find out what r...
Ep. 67: JMS and The Princess Bride
September 21, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 143 MBTeamsters, welcome to another semi-regular cult episode! While we forego intersections between our topics, there are plenty of intersections between this episode and previous ones. For example, Allie takes us back to Asia as she covers another “religious movement,” this one out of South Korea. Similar to past cults, JMS has a self-proclaimed messiah with some assault convictions spanning at least 10 years. Need a lighter topic? As you wish… journey with us to the lands of Florin and Gilder w...
Ep. 66: Cult Psychology of MLMs and The Colosseum
September 14, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 175 MBWhat is the difference between multilevel marketing schemes and the Roman Colosseum? They're both cut-throat and folks are always trying to rise to glory. Join our gals this week as CA covers the psychology behind MLMs and Allie takes a trip back in time to the brutality of the gladiators. Who will come out on top? And, who is just here for the free samples?
Ep. 65: The East African Laughing Epidemic and The Worst Year Ever
September 07, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 159 MBWhat was the worst year ever? Maybe it depends on who you ask. If you ask your fearless leaders, we would probably say 2020. If you ask the people of Tanganyika, they'd probably tell you that it was 1961. Which, ironically, was no laughing matter. Carey Ann takes on the topic of Mass Hysteria through the lens of a mission-run boarding school where giggling girls turned into an eerie epidemic. Allie's take on the worst year ever may have been objectively worse - for those who survived it. Wha...
Ep. 64: Tall Poppy Syndrome and Vincent Van Gogh
August 31, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 182 MBBuild me up Buttercup, don't break me down! Whether a buttercup, sunflower, or poppy, the outcome is the same. This week, we're talking about the importance of supporting women, especially in the workplace. Maybe the moral of the story is to just let people be great. However, greatness can come at a price. Allie takes us into the life and mind of one of the most gifted and equally tragic artists to have lived. Who knew that a life expressing so much beauty could be so sad? There's more in co...
Ep. 63: TV: A Reflection and The Brothers Grimm
August 24, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 186 MBHey Teamsters! This week, join us as we talk through all of the once-upon-an-intersections; as we're on our way to where the air is sweet, we're on our way to Sesame Street. CA takes the most ADHD approach through the values displayed in television shows over the past 70 years and how TV as a whole, positively or negatively impacts our psyche. P.S. Have you seen Bluey? Run. Don't walk. Then, Allie covers fairy tales, their writers, and the origins of some of our favorites. As their surname a...
Ep. 62: Westboro Baptist Church and Little Shop of Horrors
August 17, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 141 MBThis week, Allie covers a cult that makes her stomach turn. The hate group and terrorist organization, Westboro Baptist Church is one for the books. On the other hand, CA talks about the American Dream and the 1986 film, Little Shop of Horrors. Together, they discuss aliens, tacky signage, and puppetry. Join us each Thursday to learn something new!
Ep. 61: Mesmerizing Mesmer and The Donner Party
August 10, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 171 MBYou are getting sleepy... When I snap my fingers, you'll want to listen to the newest PWAA episode. *Snap!* CA continues to try to get to the bottom of hypnotism and we can't do that without talking about the Mesmerizing Franz Mesmer. This story has everything! Vital fluid, animal magnetism, bathtubs, Ben Franklin, the Queen of England, and scandal. The one thing it doesn't have: cannibalism. Allison has us covered though, through a story of manifest destiny gone very wrong. We don't know wh...
Ep. 60: Dream Temples and Death by Mail
August 03, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 164 MBTeamsters, you know what sounds great? A sleep temple. The Ancient Egyptians may have been onto something. Journey with us back to the time of Imhotep, the first genius in recorded history. Architecture, psychology, engineering, medicine, and serving the Sun God. This guy did it all. By contrast, Allison's topic is about a woman who is just doing the most. The anthrax scare of 2001 may have taken a note from the villain in our story today, who committed the first murder by mail. What is the ...
Ep 59. The Unconscious Mind and Evil Inertility Doctor
July 27, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 188 MBHave you ever looked at someone and wondered "What goes on inside their head?" Human behavior is baffling, isn't it? The first official theory of the "why" comes from our guy, Freud. CA unpacks the iceberg of the mind where what we can see is only the beginning of the story. It's a good thing these topics are paired because Allison's story takes a strange turn when the person supposed to help people with their IVF journey ends up going way, way, way too far. We don't have all the answers, bu...
Ep 58. Dark Psychology and The History of Nuns
July 20, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 164 MBGaslighting, mind games, emotional manipulation, power plays… oh my! Folks have long been interested dark psychology whether as a way to manipulate, deceive, and take advantage of other people, or to better understand the people who do. Whatever drew you into this topic, we’re glad you’re here and we hope you hate it as much as we do. Then, your fearless leader, Allison, suffers through CA’s endless Sound of Music and Sister Act references, as she leads us through the history of nuns. Not ju...
Ep 57. Harlow's Monkey Experiments and More Conspiracy Theories
July 13, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 174 MBMonkey see, monkey do. After this week's episode, that's more obvious than ever. Join our heroes as they discuss the Harlow Monkey Experiment and MORE Conspiracy Theories (It wouldn't be a PWAA season without it). Learn all about what an experiment with monkeys from the 1950s teaches us about the world today. And, catch up with the weirdness of conspiracy theories. You won't want to miss this!
Ep 56. Harvey Milk II and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
June 29, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 146 MBA cult episode that is also the second part of a history topic?! How does Allie do it? In an epic crossover, our queer political trailblazer may have almost joined a cult. Unfortunately, the end result was the same: murder. Then, a lavender trailblazer filled with three Queens and a transwoman takes Australia by storm in a funny, whimsical, and yet poignant cinematic masterpiece. Intersections abound! Happy Pride, Teamsters!
Ep. 55: Gender Diversity and Harvey Milk 1
June 22, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 184 MBHappy PRIDE Teamsters!! We're still here, still queer, and still recording in a closet. What could be gayer than a two-parter? Join us with a little GINeralized Anxiety before we dive into our Pride topics. This week, CA explores the pink, white, and light blue spectrum of the flag. So much to unpack, and so little time. Allison begins the story of Harvey Milk. Does anyone else think Sean Penn nailed that role? Both topics leave us thankful for the queer and trans folks who came before us. T...
Ep. 54: Burnout and Manifest Destiny
June 15, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 203 MBTeamsters, sometimes things get real. When that happens, have a Larry Flint Filthy Martini, a charcuterie board with pringles, and a milk bath for your face. Let's call it "self-care". This week, CA covers burnout; where it comes from, what to do about it, and how to prevent it. Do what you gotta do is the moral of this story. When things get real on the Oregon Trail, that is a very different kind of stress. Allison leads us on a journey across the country featuring special guests: Lewis an...
Ep 53: Munchausen by Proxy and the Bedlam Asylum
June 08, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 147 MBThis week our heroes dabble in two topics straight out of your nightmares. First, CA covers a true crime topic by way of Munchausen by Proxy through the case of Gypsy Rose. Allison takes us back in time to teach us about London's oldest mental health hospital, Bedlam. These topics are bound to chill you, thrill you, and fulfill you.
Ep 52. WEIRD Psychology and Alcatraz
June 01, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 155 MBTeamsters, today we start with a mouse funeral, but it is all uphill from there. Quiz: what do all of our topics from season 1 have in common? They're weird... in a weird way, but also the W.E.I.R.D. way. Carey Ann loves to unpack a good acronym and all its implications. Allison likes to get nerdy in other weird ways. Explore the horrors of Alcatraz with your fearless hosts, who quite frankly expected there to be more murder.
Ep 51: Schadenfreude and Dollar Princesses
May 25, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 76.7 MBY'all, your cohosts are back in the closet. Is that a good lead-in to this episode? We hope not! "When I see how sad you are it sort of makes me ... happy! It's Schadenfreude!" There is never a bad time to quote Avenue Q. We are basically a Broadway easter egg podcast at this point, right? CA uncovers the humorous underbelly of the joy experienced when karma hits at just the right time. Then, Allie talks about Barbies on clearance, inspired by Bridgerton. What would you do to marry the third...
Ep 50: I Survived: Exorcisms and Rosetta Stone
May 18, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 147 MBThis week, we celebrate our 50th episode, and we totally remembered that!! Instead, celebrity crushes took priority in the topics discussed at the start of this monumental episode. Maybe for the 100th episode, we will remember the champagne! Speaking of podcasts, we have one where we just keep "wormholing." ... CA completes a two-parter with a true crime follow-up to last week's Exorcism. Then, Allison takes us back to Egypt for a quasi-two-parter about the Rosetta Stone. What is it? W...
Ep 49: Exorcisms and The French Campaign: Egypt and Syria
May 11, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 168 MBWhat religion would your pets practice? Maybe listen to this episode before you decide...Less of a "how to" guide and more of a "how come" analysis, lets dig into the religious trenches of exorcisms. Much like clergy are trying to rid demons from their laypeople, the people of Egypt and Syria also wanted to rid themselves of unwanted souls on their land. Is that the only link-up? Definitely not. This episode is full of them!
Ep. 48: Hoarding and Cosmic Horror
May 04, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBThis week, CA and Allie's topics deserve a TLC special. Join us as we discuss the complex nature of hoarding. Is collecting healthy? At what point is it considered hoarding? And Allie dives into a mysterious topic that will leave you wanting more. It's a little bit scary, a little bit science fiction, and a little bit Allie.
Ep 47: Psychology of Dictators and North Korean Defectors: Part 3
April 27, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 151 MBThis is a podcast of things you didn't know you needed to know... or, at least, that's how your fearless leaders do their pod notes. CA loves having the distinct advantage of knowing that this was a three-parter, so we can all wormhole together. This week, she covers a true armchair psychology topic: the "Psychology of Dictators". What traits, economic conditions, and political conditions lead to dictatorships? Let's find out! Then, Allison takes us back into North Korea with stories of Amer...
Ep 46: Branch Davidians and Monty Python
April 20, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 164 MBIt's okay to like what you like; especially, if one of those things is PWAA! This week Allie and CA let it get super weird with the things they like. Which, unsurprisingly includes cults and cult classics. Allie gets to go first and covers the Waco Siege, which if you don't know, is centered around a religious doomsday cult called the Branch Davidians. Who wants to start a Vin diagram about cults? This one checks a lot of the boxes. Then, CA dives deep into a shallow movie... Monty Python. Y...
Ep 45: 1984 and North Korean Defectors: Part 2
April 13, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 197 MBDon't call it a comeback! Episode 2 of Season 2, and it feels good. CA has almost no impulse control and healthy escapism tactics which lead to our first PWAA book club! Let's get nerdy as we compare and contrast the dystopian novel 1984 with what we think we know of North Korea. Knowing Allison's topic really comes in handy for pod planning. Mass surveillance, controlling communication, restricting resources, and seemingly impossible realities. There are also exciting Patreon opportunities ...
Ep 44: Lunacy and North Korean Defectors: Part 1
April 06, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 152 MBWe're back, Teamsters! Tune in and catch up on the past year with us... at least for the first five minutes, then it is back to business as usual. In this episode, the Ravenclaw tells the Hufflepuff the history of lunacy, madness, and the moon. Then things get even darker as our fearless cohost kicks off season two with a three-part-er! Starting off strong with the origin story of North Korea. Throw in a little Marxism and social justice for spice. What's the intersection? Join us and find o...
Ep 43: Updates and Strip Clubs
February 05, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 177 MBHey Teamsters! It has been a while. Carey Ann and Allison start off this episode with updates. While there is no defined plan for the upcoming year, your fearless leaders are recouping their spoons and taking some time to make sure that the pod is sustainable. While you wait, please enjoy this episode of Chick Shit's podcast episode "Strip Clubs." Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your encouragement, patience, and support. We will be back.

Ep 41: Santa Claus and Happiest Season
December 23, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBTis the season, Teamsters! Time for another holiday mash up. Unlike Halloween, CA definitely got the memo for this special episode. First, Allison gives us a history of the jolly man himself. Carey Ann then shares a new Christmas classic. Is it a cult classic? Who's to say. Happy Holidays! Hope this season brings you joy and rest.
Ep 40: Truman Show Syndrome and Henry Ford
December 16, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 151 MBHello Teamsters! Hard to believe the year is coming to a close! Having a podcast kind of feels like Truman Show Syndrome. There is an audience, we just are aware of being recorded. Nonetheless, podcasts are part of a cultural moment, and well... just stay tuned to figure out why that is relevant. Then, learn about the assembly line, cars, and for better, or worse, the life of a famous white man. Allison's anthem to all is "D-BAD" which is truly something that Mr. Ford could have benefitted f...
Ep 39: The Mandela Effect and Grand Duchess Anastasia
December 09, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 175 MBHappy Thursday, Teamsters! Do any of you remember watching a documentary in middle school that said that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s? Carey Ann sure does! What is this weird phenomenon of false memories that is the Mandela Effect? Speaking of false memories, many people have claimed over the years to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia. Allison takes us on a journey to the past through her life and her last days, perhaps even her last moments. The intersection may be clear, but the...
Ep 38: The Bechdel Test and Lewis Carroll
December 02, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 195 MBHappy Thursday, Teamsters! We're all mad here, so we might as well go down the rabbit hole... Ready to forever change the way that you think about movies? Carey Ann's topic this week looks at a simple test used to gauge media and unravel the idea that women exist only in their relationships to men. Then, follow AllisonWonderland as she leads us down the rabbit hole that is the life of Lewis Carroll. Feel free to draw your own conclusions, but this story just gets curiouser and curiouser.
Cult 8: The Ant Hill Kids and Spirited Away
November 30, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 172 MBHappy Post-Thanksgiving-Warm-Gerbil-Cult-Release day, Teamsters! Welcome back to this weird labyrinth mind thing that we call a cult episode. This week, Allison takes us down a dark and twisted hole with more content warnings than we can begin to name. While "The Ant Hill Kids" sounds cute, be warned this is not a warm and fuzzy cult. Carey Ann juxtaposes all of that trauma with a look at Spirited Away, Japanese culture, and a hint at the cult of Studio Ghibli. There was so much more to say ...
Ep 37: Borderline Personality Disorder and Typhoid Mary
November 25, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 161 MBHappy Thanksgiving Teamsters!! The Pod without an Aud family wishes you delicious food and time with friends and loved ones.

Then, meet Typhoid Mary who just wanted to make peach ice cream but accidentally said "eat my sh*t."
Ep. 36: Fetishes and Guinness Book of World Records
November 18, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 110 MBWhy was Pavlov's hair so soft? All the conditioning... Get it? Hey Teamsters! Where else can we talk about sexually arousing objects, like sexual imprinting and penny jars? This week, Carey Ann covers fetishized objects and body parts and the multitude of theories surrounding fetishes. Allison then covers the strange and unusual world of records that leads us down fun rabbit holes like "who has the longest fingernails?" and the strongest injections.
Ep 35: Grief and Ellis Island
November 11, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 98.2 MBHappy Thursday Teamsters! Two quotes to spark our topics today: "Shelby was right, it does look like a brown football helmet." and "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free." Do you know where these quotes are from before listening to the episode? Hint: Carey Ann's topic this week is grief and loss, which spans beyond the five stages of grief and goes deep into the nuances of loss. Allison then leads us through the history of the busiest immigration inspec...
Ep 34: Edward Scissorhands and Remnant Fellowship
November 04, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBIn this week's shrimp-basket-combo, your fearless leaders combining a regular episode with a cult episode to bring you this version of Frankenstein's Monster.

Unlike most cult episodes, will your fearless leaders find intersections in this episode, you bet they will!
Ep 33: Womb Envy and Halloween
October 28, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 85.9 MBHappy Halloween Teamsters! Not every episode is bound to have intersections, but when you consider that your fearless leaders both said words that contain letters that are also in "Halloween," it seems pretty clear that they understood the assignment. In true CA and Allie fashion, Carey Ann over-did the costuming for the recording sesh and Allison prepared a spook-tacular Halloween topic for your listening pleasure. Truly, which is scarier the patriarchy or ghosts? Find out in this haunted s...
Cult 7: Raëlism and Rocky Horror Picture Show
October 26, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 149 MBIntersections by design for this cult episode because who doesn't want to hear about the world's largest alien cult then watch one of the greatest alien cult classics of all time? "It's just a jump to the left" as Carey Ann tries her hand at covering this scientific-athiestic-futuristic cult that started in France in the 1970s and is still around today. "Then a step to the right" as Allison takes us on a strange journey. Rocky Horror Picture Show not only stood the test of time, but it has a...
Ep 32: Lobotomies and Dinosaurs
October 21, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 167 MBHey Teamsters! There are two types of people in this world when you hear the word 'lobotomy', those who think of Sucker Punch and those who think of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Fortunately, your fearless leaders are one of each! This week, Carey Ann explores the dark history of lobotomies. Content warning: this does get graphic. Then, Allison brings us back up with the fun history of the Land Before Time, or rather, dinosaurs. What is your favorite extinction theory?

Ep 29: Operation Midnight Climax and The Book of Mormon
September 30, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 80.5 MBLet's shake things up a little this week. Carey Ann covers a history-heavy topic with a fun psychology/sociology spin, as we learn about the CIA's mind-control experiments that may or may not have lead to the counter-culture drug craze of the 1960s. Then, who is this guy "Mormon" and why does he have so many books? Allison begins her first two-part series on the Book of Mormon, the book, not the play. Unlikely storylines and lots of laughter ensue.
Ep 28: Oedipus Complex and The Bubonic Plague
September 23, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 139 MBBefore they get started, it is time for a little walk down memory lane for all the Millenials... Now, back to business. Carey Ann once again does a deep dive into a Freudian theory, this time with greek roots. Allison asks the hard questions [to paraphrase]: "How does he come up with this shit?" For better or worse, Oedipus, Electra, and Little Hans are known for little else than their relationships with their parents and their connection to Freud. In the second half, Allison briefly cover...
Ep 27: Willie M. and Ponzi Schemes

Allison does not only give us the history...
Cult 6: The Unification Church and Hedwig and the Angry Inch
September 16, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 145 MBHappy Bonus Episode Day!! As usual, Allison picks a cult and Carey Ann picked a cult classic and we don't find intersections. The Unification Church - another audacious cult leader with some strange beliefs and even stranger s*x practices. Seems like there could be a link-up to the cult movie of the week which is a rock musical about a person with a botched sex-change operation who is searching for love and identity. As always, Allison and Carey Ann are so thankful for Patreon Picks, especi...
Ep 26: Synesthesia and Childbirth
September 09, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 158 MBTime for a light and fun episode, at least in the first half. Carey Ann explores a strange phenomenon where some people taste words, feel sounds, or like Allison, can see time in space. Allison then takes the charge and tells us the more graphic details of where babies come from. Moral of this story: "The world would be a better place if we could experience other people's experiences."

September 02, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 178 MBCarey Ann winds up her first three-part series with an analysis of 'freeze' and 'fawn' using the ever-popular [and super traumatizing] TV show, Grey's Anatomy.

In addition to intersections, and with all that is going on in the world, your hosts would like to remind you to take care of yourselves this week.
Ep 24: Frozen and John Lennon
August 26, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 218 MBIn part two of CA's trauma and fear response series, she ironically uses the movie Frozen to talk about the flight response. Stick with us here, it fits surprisingly well. Then, let's come together for Allison's coverage of John Lennon and his unfortunate demise. The moral of this story, we get by with a little help from our friends. What intersections can you find?
Ep 23: The Hulk and John Rockefeller
August 19, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 179 MBJoin our heroes this week as they talk about other heroes. In part 1 of a trauma response series, Carey Ann lays some groundwork about brains and trauma then we get nerdy with The Hulk. What superhero doesn't have some childhood trauma? Bruce Banner has it in spades, as evidenced by occasionally turning green and smashing things. Then, Allison shares exciting news about Rhiana becoming the wealthiest female musician in the world, which led her to ask the question: who was the first billionai...
