    Swoon & Rage: From Off Campus to Delaney Hall

    This week, Katie and Dana are officially in heat over fictional college hockey players - as are most middle aged moms in America. So what is it exactly about Off Campus that has us so hot and bothered?  Is it: The fact that positive masculinity is on full display for once?Or that they feel nostalgic for a campus life filled with body positivity, an emphasis on sexual consent and allyship for survivors - that they themselves never experienced? Perhaps its centering of female pleasure and a glaring lack for the slut-shaming? Or maybe the emotional maturity of the young frat boys’ and the bravery they display in order to be vulnerable for one another?Or even just the refreshing lack of catty infighting among women in a society that loves to pit them against one another in order to win the guy? Well, your hosts discuss none of this as they shift into objectification mode and drone on about the chizzled-ass hunks in their little sweatpants making whoopies with full front. But that’s not all you can expect from this week’s cutting edge cultural commentary, they also: Rage about their kindly Senator being pepper sprayed in NewarkCrush on America’s Democratic Socialist mayors reducing violent crimeDiscuss their favorite wire-free bras and the white tee shirt that is so good but too expensive int this economy You know, all the good stuff. Don't forget to leave them a 5-star review and follow along on Instagram and Substack. Boop.
