FIGS
When we first decided that we were gonna embark on this podcast chapter of our journey, we knew that one of the people we wanted to talk to publicly was Chad Onianwa. We typed their name out again and again in our digital scribbles, because there is simply nothing Chad is not doing, and we need y’all to know that there are folks like them out here doing public necessary writing that is both thriving and cultivating a necessary community, on and offline. Without further ado, here is FIGS, our latest cartoony fine ass episode, the 3rd of season 2.

JÍCAMA
We made it to the end of szn 1 fruits. Thank you for all your ears in these last 10 sessions of us figuring out what we care about (what’s this podcast even about?). In this episode we talk rest, how we do it, what makes it hard, and encourage you to clock out and quit your job (what else is new?) We’ll be back in November with new eyes and the same thicc ass hearts. Season 2 coming soon! 10 reviews and we might be back faster, who knooooowwwws.

BLACK CHERRY
For this second to last episode of szn 1, the fruit host their first guest, the one and only Anthony D. Boynton II (he/they/ursula). They talks us through cyclical time, their relationships to nerdom, and their tumultuous love affair with academia. Anthony is a brilliant scholar, friend, and writer. You can laugh with them @ADBoyntonII on twitter and read their piece Queer People are More than Our Deaths here. Our poem offering is I saw Emmett Till this week at the grocery store by Eve L. Ewing.
Anthony’s Recommended Reading List:

Customer Reviews
empassioned fruits.
this pod has helped nourish me thru difficult moments. the interior lives of Pao and Ash are a gift—full of color, sentiment, and thoughtfulness unparalleled. i appreciate their vulnerabilities, their astute musings on pop culture, and their seamless weaving of narrative, critique, and fusion of the micro n macro stuff. they plant seeds of hope for my creative and interpersonal endeavors. these two, and those who have contributed, are gifts to be treasured.
Podcast that enriches my soul
Whenever I listen to Local Fruit, I feel like I’m in the room with them. Their content is relatable and reminds me of small conversations and feeling that I’ve experienced myself. No doubt this podcast will speak to many more. Love the authenticity.
