No Code Switching

nocspod

Welcome to No Code Switching, where two Black women bring you unfiltered conversations about work, life, and everything in between. We’ll give you The Pulse where we talk about what's living rent free in our heads,  let you decide with The Choice Is Yours, react to the moments that make us say This Can’t Be Real Life, and of course, share our takes in You Like It / We Love It. Then we’ll wrap it up with We Said What We Said — because some things just aren’t up for debate — and our final segment, Citizen’s Arrest, where we call out the crimes against humanity that absolutely need to be addressed.

    Episode 1: Podcast Origin Story

    Episode 1, Podcast Origin Story. Every podcast has an origin story — this is ours. This episode is just us, no typical segments, no structure — just conversation. We talk about how we met while working at the same nonprofit, the very different professional paths that brought us there, and the moments that laid the foundation for our friendship. What started as a podcast class at work quickly turned into something bigger: a space for honest conversation, shared experiences, and showing up as our full selves. This episode sets the tone for why No Code Switching exists — and why we decided to take this conversation to the mic.

    Episode 2: Unhinged Holiday Bonus

    This bonus episode has no structure and no regrets. We laugh, spiral, sing, theorize, and jump from Wicked to VMAs to concerts to comedians to citizenship to the FDA — sometimes all in the same sentence. There’s no agenda, just real-time chaos, cultural commentary, and the kind of conversation that only makes sense if you let it wash over you. This episode is loud, random, funny, and very much No Code Switching.

    Episode 3: Politics and Petty Behavior

    Episode 3 is everywhere — in the best way. We start with holiday reflections, gift-giving debates, and Christmas experiences before pivoting hard into politics, power, and patriarchy. In The Pulse we talk about why there’s no such thing as being apolitical anymore, how America continues to resist women in leadership, and why qualifications don’t outweigh bias — even in the case of leaders like Kamala Harris. Conversations about power and money lead us to Cory Booker, ambition, and the social media clean-ups that follow. In You Like It / We Love It, we get into TikTok Shop, social media algorithms, unfollowing vs. snoozing, and what it’s like to support small businesses online. We Said What We Said focuses on the Bravo-to-prison pipeline and how greed, image, and addiction keep taking housewives down. For Citizen’s Arrest, we call out people who can’t follow instructions on planes — which somehow turns into a discussion about buying plane tickets in incognito mode. We wrap with poll questions about who you’re cutting off and how you brought in the New Year.

    Episode 4: CC Me Directly

    Episode 4 is a reset. We catch up on New Year’s Eve plans, what listeners are leaving in 2025, and Shalina also shares her Times Square New Year’s Eve experience — so yes, we get into that. In This Can’t Be Real Life, we discuss travel bans and the dangerous reality of policies being pushed by Donald Trump, particularly targeting Black and Brown nations. In The Pulse, we talk about the New Year shift — it’s time to circle back, follow up, and actually have the meetings we kept pushing off. In You Like It / We Love It, Shalina stands firm: text or email, not long, inefficient phone calls. In We Said What We Said, we break down the difference between a meeting and an email — because knowing the difference matters. Citizen’s Arrest is issued to reply-all bandits and the people who don’t know how to CC, enabling inbox chaos everywhere. Polls are up for next week: who do you really trust at work?

    Episode 5: A/S/L

    Episode 5, is a mix of workplace truths, nostalgia, and cultural commentary. Nicole and Shalina kick things off by reviewing poll results on who not to trust at work — and the responses did not disappoint. We also get into the so-called Patriot Games (aka the modern day Hunger Games) In The Pulse, we reflect on things we remember growing up in the 80s and 90s — not a deep dive, just real memories — and we double down on one shared experience: AOL Instant Messenger, because it was elite For The Choice Is Yours, we put the question to you: what 80s and 90s nostalgia do you miss, what missed the mark, and what was your AIM screen name? In You Like It / We Love It, we talk rappers wearing their wealth and straight-back braids. We Said What We Said calls out the film industry for a serious lack of originality — stop stealing from the BBC and stop the endless remakes. And in Citizen’s Arrest, we call it like we see it: former disgraced mayor Eric Adams (aka Leroy), the cuffs are out.

    Episode 6: Old Nostalgia, New Nonsense

    Episode 6 kicks off with poll results from our 80s and 90s nostalgia questions — what listeners want to keep, what needs to stay in the past, and yes… we got some AOL AIM screen names, which we absolutely loved. In This Can’t Be Real Life, we run through the first 21 days of 2026 and ask the obvious question: what is actually happening? From global politics to tariffs, ICE, aging foreign leaders, and general chaos — it’s serious, unserious, and exhausting all at once. For The Pulse, we talk about body dysmorphia, extreme cosmetic procedures, leg lengthening, and the importance of safety and informed decisions. You Like It / We Love It turns seasonal as we debate winter — the love, the hate, and why we don’t fully agree. In We Said What We Said, we stand firm: no is a full sentence and people-pleasing needs to stay in the past. There’s also an unexpected Danity Kane sing-along (because why not). Citizen’s Arrest goes to gaslighters — lock them up, we’re not doing that in 2026. We close by asking listeners to share their top five actors of all time, dead or alive — and trust us, you’ll want to listen all the way to the end for a special way to get exclusive content.

    Episode 7: Power, Fame, and Optics

    Episode 7 is packed. We kick things off with poll results and break down our listeners’ top five actors, along with our own picks. In This Can’t Be Real Life, we unpack a heavy week of global and political news — from the creation of a so-called Board of Peace, to plans for Palestine that don’t include Palestinian voices, to international headlines that left us shaking our heads. It’s a lot, and we talk through it. For The Pulse we look ahead to shows coming out or returning in 2026 and collectively fawn over Aaron Pierre. In You Like It / We Love It, we discuss Zoe Saldana becoming the highest-grossing actor of all time. In We Said What We Said, we discuss My Strange Addiction and the behaviors that leave us speechless. Citizen’s Arrest is issued to anyone who snubbed Michael B. Jordan at the Golden Globes. We end with The Choice is Yours--if you could be part of any music group, would you choose the group — or go solo?
