    "Sponge" (w/ Hannah Einbinder)

    Y'all are about to be sponge. Finally, Hannah Einbinder is on Las Cultch! Hannah and our hosts fight through tears to chat about her new MAX special Everything Must Go, acting across from The Legend (JS) on Hacks and being shocked it's happening, the current generational divide on the state of comedy and the happy challenge of balancing acting and stand up. Also, Bring It On as formative culture, Hannah's storied history as a competitive cheerleader and the emotional moment when she knew she had done her last ever back tuck. All this, Chappell Roan's wild ascendance, how every wig is a stepping stone, the sad state of Bennifer, the impossible task of packing shoes in luggage and how badly it hurts when you stub your toe. Watch Everything Must Go and Hacks now! FYC: Hannah Einbinder as iconic and exemplary LC guest. That's crockt.

Hard to say!) And of course, three engaging IDTSH's! Get into it! Fantasmas (on MAX) & Problemista (in theaters & VOD) are both out now so WATCH THEM NOW!

    "Ghost Whisper" (w/ Ben Platt)

    What's it like to be in love? That question is answered in this installment of Las Cultch with Ben Platt! The superstar takes a break from his stunning run at the Palace on Broadway to discuss making his new album Honeymind, give inspired thoughts on the recent pop girlie landscape, and explain what Nashville is like. Also, a Noah Galvin cameo, the Presidential Fitness Test, being a consistent patron of the arts, and insight into the upcoming film WICK'T (sp?) from those on the inside. All this, party motivators, the combination of LSD and Maggie Rogers, barbecue in theory vs. barbeque in practice and how the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has altered Palm Springs gay bar demographics. Stream Honeymind! We love BEN.

RyPTT ,

Don’t be like me: listen now

I was once a stupid piece of garbage. Thankfully, this podcast brought me into the light—this non-garbage life, baby. Here I am. A full human. And it’s all thanks to Las Culturistas.

It is a treasure. A treasure from the bottom of the ocean, from the wreckage of the Titanic. That diamond Old Rose threw off the edge of that ship? This show, baby. They dredged that shiny piece of trash back up from the muck, polished that puppy, and—through the alchemy of ironical comedy—created Las Culturistas.

Hashtag blessed, baby.

A divine culture-defining podcast about culture.

I won't lie, I got into Las Cultch VERY late. I spent literally over a year aware of the pod before I decided to check it out. The vast amount of episodes can seem daunting - I had decided at the time to listen to only guests I knew and then all new episodes. Then I decided to listen to all the I Don't Think So Honey Live episodes. Finally, between the Forever Dog and iHeart transition, I decided to sink in and am now am about a month away to having listened to every. single. episode. :)

Here's the thing. When it comes to the topic of culture, there will never be an individual who perfectly encapsulates what you think close to yourself. However, the balance of Matt and Bowen is so wonderful. Generally you will get a great discussion between two friends that will make you feel like you are in on their hangouts. And trust if I ever had the chance to sit in on an in-person conversation between them, I'd be so deliciously eager to do so. :) When I finally truly run out of episodes, it will be a life-altering event yet again.
