The And Also Podcast

The Cast Collective

Welcome to The And Also Podcast, where three best friends—Madeline Guinee, Sheyda Fassari, and Summer Edeen—turn their decade-long friendship into a show that feels like a chaotic group chat brought to life, but with fewer typos and more coherent tangents. We are a mix of East Coast and West Coast Transplants who met in college in Tennessee in 2014 and are now navigating life together with tons of giggles, some questionable advice, and a lot of personalities. Our redhead, blonde and brunette trio invite you to join us every other Wednesday for what feels like a girls’ night in with your closest friends, where the stories are unfiltered, the yapping never ends, and you’re always in on the joke, its what we like to call free therapy (for us, not you). Whether you’re here to commiserate, laugh, or just feel less alone in figuring things out, this is your space. This podcast is all about finding solidarity, humor, and heart in the chaos of growing up as girls together. Remember, life’s messy, but it’s better when you have friends to overthink it with. So pull up a chair, grab a drink, and let’s gab! Xoxo, Madeline, Sheyda and Summer

    And Also Game Night! (feat. Landon Mauk & Riley Mitchell) | The And Also Podcast Ep. 34

    This episode is chaos in the best possible way. The girls are joined by Landon Mauk and Riley Mitchell from Bloodline Banter for a full-blown game night that somehow turns into a philosophical debate about calling your parents mommy and daddy, alpha males, LARPing kings, mirror selfies, and whether clapping when the plane lands is romantic or grounds for immediate breakup. It starts with “He’s a 10 but…” and spirals quickly. From there they do a few rounds of trivia, covering Ancient Egypt vs. Kardashians, American History vs. Harry Potter, and a music trivia round that devolves into karaoke. The girls end with a few live prank calls about flying to Tampa with a 57-year-old corporate takeover specialist and “accidentally” sending scandalous photos to a client. It’s competitive. It’s slightly educational. It’s deeply unserious. Grab a drink, get cozy, and get ready for another chaotic episode.

    Husband Search Night Was A Disaster | The And Also Podcast Ep. 33

    Welcome back to the And Also Podcast! This week the ladies are on the hunt for husbands. They debrief Husband Search Night, a carefully curated plan to ditch their usual haunts, head to East Nashville, and finally meet intentional, dateable men. What actually happens? A pre-game with two bottles of tequila. Blacking out immediately. Irish goodbyes. A full group chat meltdown. Summer spills the tea on what happened after everyone left, which spirals into confusing definitions of “making out” and a very spirited debate over what’s included in the hold-hands package. We also break down what actually makes someone husband material. Is he out if he vapes? Uses Snapchat? Goes to the gym seven times a week? Plus: a full NYC recap, the emotional danger of “men who are not your husband,” why the ones who shouldn’t come back always do, and whether dating for practice is healthy… or just a very convincing self-delusion. Grab a drink, settle in, and join us for another unhinged episode.

    Levi's Redemption Arc | The And Also Podcast Ep. 32

    Welcome back to the And Also Podcast! This week, Sheyda, Madeline, and Summer settle back into the group chat energy with a mix of life updates, birthday reflections, and the kind of tangents that only best friends can pull off. From bangs, blowouts, and the existential shift of turning 30 to surprise parties, sentimental gifts, and a few unfiltered high school throwbacks, the conversation floats between heartfelt and hilariously unhinged in the best way. Then it’s back to Reddit territory as the girls dive into a fresh round of “Am I the A*****e?” stories. A mother in law showdown over a girls trip, a boyfriend who crosses a serious line at a birthday party, a sibling refusing to be the family’s default babysitter spark big opinions and bigger reactions, and longtime listeners finally get an update on the infamous Levi saga, where the guy they all loved to hate suddenly isn’t so clear cut after all. Pour a drink, get cozy, and join us for the chaos.

    Discipline and Delusion | The And Also Podcast Ep. 30

    Season two starts exactly how it should — reflective, chaotic, and honest, with zero pressure to reinvent ourselves overnight. This week, Sheyda, Madeline, and Summer ease into the new year by talking about alignment over rebranding, discipline over motivation, and why the little choices matter way more than the dramatic ones. From nostalgia (iPods, Buffy, and early 2000s TV) to identity shifts, style eras, gym routines, and confidence, the girls unpack what it actually looks like to become more yourself instead of someone new. They talk about shedding insecure versions, trusting yourself again, choosing authenticity in everything from clothing to careers, and why motivation is fleeting but discipline sticks. There’s real talk about fitness journeys, body image, long-term habits, speaking less and meaning more, and the red flags they’re leaving behind this year — personally, socially, and emotionally. It’s thoughtful, funny, a little woo-woo, and very grounding — like a reset that doesn’t require a personality overhaul. Grab a drink, get cozy, and welcome to season two energy.   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL!   The And Also Podcast: Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/theandalsopodcast) TikTok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@theandalsopodcast)   Sheyda:  Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/iamsheyda_) TikTok - (https://www.instagram.com/@iamsheyda_)   Summer: Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/summeredeen) TikTok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@hellosummeredeen)   Madeline: Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/madelineguinee) TikTok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@andalsomarm)   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube –  (https://www.youtube.com/@TheCastCollective) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective)   Directed by: Erin Dugan Edited By: Michaela Dolph, Toby Friedman, Corey Williams, & Sean Dugan

    Merry Christmas! | The And Also Podcast Ep. 29

    Welcome back to the And Also Podcast, where the wine is poured, the vibes are festive, and nobody is emotionally prepared for the holidays.  This week, Sheyda, Madeline, and Summer are celebrating Christmas Eve together and diving into all things holiday chaos — from family traditions and cozy rituals to the games that somehow turn competitive every single year. They swap hilarious and heartfelt stories, including a spooky haunted house memory, navigating family dynamics, and the unspoken expectations that come with being home for the holidays. The girls also get into dating during the festive season (because nothing says romance like emotional timelines and Christmas pressure), childhood nostalgia, and what it really means to create traditions you actually want to carry forward. It’s cozy, it’s nostalgic, it’s a little unhinged — and exactly how Christmas Eve should feel. Grab a drink, get comfy, and come spend the holidays with the group chat.   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL!   The And Also Podcast: Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/theandalsopodcast) TikTok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@theandalsopodcast)   Sheyda:  Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/iamsheyda_) TikTok - (https:// www.instagram.com/@iamsheyda_)   Summer: Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/summeredeen) TikTok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@hellosummeredeen)   Madeline: Insta - (https://www.instagram.com/madelineguinee) TikTok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@andalsomarm)   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube –  (https://www.youtube.com/@TheCastCollective) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective)   Directed by: Erin Dugan Edited By: Michaela Dolph, Toby Friedman, Corey Williams, & Sean Dugan

    One Year And Also Anniversary! | The And Also Podcast Ep. 28

    It’s officially our one-year anniversary episode! In this very special episode, hosts Sheyda Fasari, Madeline Guinee, and Summer Edeen pop some Prosecco and get nostalgic about the chaos we’ve created together. We’re celebrating 28 episodes of unfiltered conversations, questionable decisions, heartfelt moments, and the slow, hilarious journey of figuring out who we are behind the mic. From finding our voices to surviving social media to navigating the growing pains of building something we love, the girls look back on all the moments that shaped this first year. We share our favorite memories, the lessons that slapped us in the face, the behind-the-scenes stories you’ve never heard, and the realities of podcasting — the fun parts, the messy parts, and the parts where we wondered what on earth we were doing. And of course, we talk about the community that’s turned into our internet friend group. Whether you’ve been here since episode one or you just joined the group chat, grab a drink, get cozy, and celebrate with us. One year down — so many unhinged episodes to go.

    Blackout Wednesday Traditions! | The And Also Podcast Ep. 27

    Welcome back to the And Also Podcast — your weekly reminder that gratitude and chaos can absolutely coexist. This week, Summer, Sheyda, and Madeline are deep in their Thanksgiving era, talking traditions, blackout Wednesday lore, family drama, and why everyone seems to be running a 5K they never actually signed up for. From rattlesnake Easter stories to embarrassing bar-crawl run-ins, the girls cover every unhinged pre-holiday ritual. Then things get cozy and reflective as they dive into what gratitude really looks like — the brain science, the mindset shift, the hard seasons, and the moments that change you. They unpack family dynamics, growing pains, therapy breakthroughs, and the art of finding joy even when life is messy. There are real tears, real laughs, and real talk about community, healing, and becoming your favorite version of yourself. Whether you're cooking, hiding from your relatives, or hungover in sweatpants and a dress at the same time, this episode feels like sitting around the table with your funniest, most grounded friends. Grab a drink, grab a plate, and come be grateful (and slightly delusional) with us.
