We’re Jocelyn and Alaina—queer, married (to each other), co-founders of Bijou Candles, and hosts of The Candle Coven Podcast. We make candles and T-shirts inspired by all the pop culture that made us the way we are: iconic women, cult films, 90s everything, and witchy/spooky stuff. This is our podcast. It’s where we talk about movies that raised us, TV that soothed us, and why pop culture is basically a religion. If you’ve ever identified as “the most smartest” in a Drop Dead Gorgeous kind of way, you’re one of us. Welcome to the Candle Coven. Light a candle and hit play.

    Season 4 Episode 2: Everything is ASS

    Hold onto your broomsticks, Candle Coven, because everything is ass and we’re cackling about it! We discuss the 1990 Cinderella adaptation If the Shoe Fits (a Jennifer Grey/Rob Lowe fashion fever dream), why our galaxy is called the Milky Way (yes, it does involve breastfeeding), and Will Smith (again). Plus: Greco-Roman culture’s tight hold on modern life, glitch-in-the-Matrix stories, and Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal. Cozy up, light your Bijou Candles, and let's get into it!

    Season 4, Episode 1: Jocelyn Broke Her Arm and We Entered a New Timeline

    Season 4 starts with a bang (and a fall). Jocelyn breaks her arm, possibly travels through a portal, and definitely drinks Diet Coke like a Victorian ghost. We discuss haunted furniture, therapy breakthroughs, Men in Black, sea turtles as Kramer, and the undeniable power of 1998’s Wild Wild West era. Plus: Reba, Reba’s eyes, SparkNotes, haunted beds, and the philosophical question—are you even a millennial if you didn’t record your family’s answering machine?

    Season 3, Episode 11: Unicorn Corn Corn

    Get ready Candle Coven because this one’s a doozy! Join in as Alaina gives a good old college try at reading the latest Azealia Banks IG rant (this time she comes for Beyoncé). But in typical Bijou Candles Alaina & Jocelyn fashion, it takes about 30 minutes for Alaina to ACTUALLY read the rant (so many segues!). And from the seed of an Azealia Banks rant grew a beautiful, flourishing episode where they continue to discuss Beyoncé, her heroic baby sister Solange, her husband Jay Z (ever heard of him), Kate Middleton, “all girls schools,” and so much more! Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before the revelation of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis.
