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 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! 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 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.

    Ep 25. "Making Move(ment)s"

    It seems like anyone can just say anything these days. Everyone has a platform. Everyone is starting a movement. If you can't beat 'em, why not join 'em?  This week, Michelle and Abbey create a hypothetical "movement," and somehow in the process, prove that they may actually have the talent (or just the audacity) to be really good cult leaders.  All in good fun, babes!
