March 26, 2022 15:31 - 49 minutes - 46.1 MB

In this episode, Sara recounts the story of her wisdom teeth extraction. It’s better to hear this story in person because she likes to act it out with body language but, alas, podcasts make the acting part impossible.

March 05, 2022 17:21 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MB

15. Controversial Food Opinions

February 26, 2022 16:07 - 1 hour - 58 MB

In this episode, Sara gets into the nitty gritty of controversial food pairings. Okay, that’s not totally true. She spends most of the time talking about foods she doesn’t like and her favorite kind of sandwich, but she does cover some controversial food opinions at the very end. So it’s not a complete lie. But it’s probably not that controversial. That’s just in the title for the drama.

February 05, 2022 15:41 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

January 29, 2022 17:34 - 1 hour - 59 MB

In this episode, Sara talks about the upcoming Winter Olympics and goes on a tangent about a salacious affair between two coaches at her junior high. The tangent will kind of make sense when you listen to the episode. Like, it’s a leap, but it’s not totally random.

11. Disneyland

January 22, 2022 18:47 - 1 hour - 59.1 MB

In this episode, Sara talks about her love for Disneyland, mostly because she’s going to be there soon and she can’t wait. She gives you her opinion on her favorite (and least favorite) rides because, let’s be honest—you all desperately want to know. Right? Please let her be right.

10. Eligible Royalty Around the World

January 15, 2022 15:03 - 1 hour - 61.2 MB

In Sara’s tenth episode, she discusses the eligible royal bachelors/bachelorettes around the world. Mostly bachelors. But that’s just because the articles she looked at mostly talked about men. She tries not to mention the Prince of Brunei yet again, but fails. Sorry.

9. Tarot Readings for 2022

January 08, 2022 15:32 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

Okay, this might be a massive departure from Sara’s usual episodes, but why not try something new in the new year? In this episode, Sara tries her hand at tarot readings to give her friends some hope for 2022. After all, we can all use a little hope.

December 18, 2021 21:25 - 1 hour - 56.7 MB

In her final episode of 2021, Sara discusses all things Christmas music.

So grab a cup of cocoa, curl up in front of your tree, and enjoy Sara’s opinions on Christmas music. Oh, and have a very happy holiday!

7. Hallmark Christmas Movies

December 11, 2021 15:34 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MB

In this episode, Sara was supposed to discuss Hallmark Christmas movies but really only briefly talks about them. She gets distracted talking about a random internet mom that enraged her and the Prince of Brunei’s massive palace. She doesn’t really know how all of those topics fit together either.

6. Megan Fox and MGK

December 04, 2021 21:18 - 1 hour - 56 MB

In this episode, Sara discusses the relationship between Megan Fox and Colson Baker (aka MGK). The gist of it is: she doesn’t really understand them but wishes them joy nonetheless.

5. Black Friday

November 27, 2021 18:48 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

In this episode, Sara just rambles on about Black Friday and whether or not she likes it (spoiler alert: crowds are not her thing). Overall, it’s a very uneventful episode, but they can’t all be exciting, can they?

4. Taylor Swift’s Discography (Part 2)

November 20, 2021 20:11 - 1 hour - 79.1 MB

3. Taylor Swift’s Discography (Part 1)

November 13, 2021 17:53 - 1 hour - 71 MB

In this episode, Sara discusses the amazing lyrics of Ms. Taylor Alison Swift. Because Sara has so much to say about Taylor and her talents (who doesn’t??), this episode only covers Taylor’s first four albums. Don’t worry, she’ll get to the rest next week.

2. Disney Channel Drama

November 06, 2021 22:28 - 1 hour - 63.4 MB

In this episode, Sara goes in depth about the drama on the Disney channel between 2006 and 2010. After recording, she realized this episode was pretty boring, but she was way too lazy to re-record. She’s very sorry.

1. The Jonas Brothers

October 30, 2021 22:21 - 56 minutes - 52.7 MB

Sara’s first episode is all about the Jonas Brothers. As requested by a friend, she will be detailing their history as a band, their breakup, their comeback, and her opinions on their music (spoiler alert: she loves it). If you’re a fan of the Jonas Brothers, you’ll (hopefully) enjoy this fun one-woman conversation about how great they are, and if you aren’t a fan of the Jonas Brothers—what’s wrong with you?
