Softblock, the Podcast

Abbey & Michelle

A podcast about girlhood, community, and talking about things—big and small. Abbey and Michelle overthink out loud, balancing humour, nuance, and a little bit of chaos. Smart but not try-hard, fun but not fluff. No shame, no guilt, just good conversation and a space to figure it all out together.

    Ep 35. "Oh man, Oh man, Omen"

    Do you ever find yourself feeling like you're on the precipice? "Precipice of what?" you may ask. We don't know. We're not you. Only you can answer that. Silly!  But we feel it, too. Time and time again there are signs and synchronicities that tell us something is about to change. This week, Abbey and Michelle share a list of their personal "good omens" - signs something good is about to happen, whatever it may be. Oh, they also share a shrimp cocktail.  Xo!  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight. Softblock is the ramification of two young girls meeting at an underfunded public school nearly two decades ago. Trauma-bonded by standardized testing, high school theatre programs, terrible ex-boyfriends, arts degrees, and s****y inflated apartments, Michelle and Abbey invite you to join their kitchen floor time, their bar rambling, and nearly twenty years of friendship. + FOLLOW THE PODCAST Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/softblockpod/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@softblockpod  + LINKS Linktree: https://linktr.ee/softblockpod  + CONTACT US  If you have any questions, comments, or stories you wish to submit, send us an email about softblockpod@gmail.com.

    Ep 32. "Icks: The Squeakuel."

    Okay, okay, okay, okayyy.. we missed an upload... again. Hear us out: life comes at you fast, work comes at you faster, and summer comes at you fastest.  But this week, we're back with a well-deserved sequel. This episode, Abbey and Michelle discuss general turn-offs, dating pet peeves, and rather personal annoyances. We'd love to know where you stand on these. Do you agree? Disagree? Commit to misunderstanding?  Let us know. See you very soon. Xo Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight.

    Ep 31. "Hot Pink Franklin Bangin' Out The Tunes" (INTERNET ARCHIVE EPISODE ONE)

    Did you miss us? Because we missed us! Abbey is back from Europe, Michelle is settled post-East Coast, and we're more energized than ever. That's why we're here with a new series: THE INTERNET ARCHIVES. We talk all-things internet culture as two twenty-somethings who grew up in the age of Tumblr, Twitter, and the Wild Wild West of the web (That's what 'www' stands for, right?). This week, we're looking at some of our internet 'Roman Empires' - things that are monumental, unforgettable, and just downright quotable.  We're so happy to be back!

    Ep 29. "Split Ends"

    Hello from Toronto! Hello from Halifax! Can you hear us from all the way over here/there?  Okay, we actually recorded this episode in March. We sat across each other in our living room. But the anticipation of separation was just too much. God forbid two besties wish to experience everything together!!!!!!! This week, we talk about The Artist's Way, Abbey's Graduate program, exes, and slowing down. It's a lot of introspection and just a touch of judgement. We're finding the balance.
