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 24. "Weekend Update"

    It can't be all bad, can it? It can't be all good.... can it? Or must we be one thing all the time?  This week, Michelle and Abbey cover a lot of ground. Kind of like the snow in Toronto. But hopefully less cold and less dreadful.  As the days start getting longer, we're hoping we can all make it to the other side.  But for now, be there for your neighbours. Leave the house. Don't piss on the present. Xo  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight.

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 23. "Year of the Four Horsemen"

    Signals, warnings, omens - all of us have tell-tale signs when something is about to go off the rails.  This week, Michelle and Abbey list their personal "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" - instances that may warrant a check-in from a friend before the inevitable crashout occurs. In the wise words of Michelle, who is writing this right now: "What matters not is the demon, but how we exorcise them before they possess our digital footprint." (So far so good.)

    Ep 22. "Shallot is written" (BINGO!!!)

    A game for the elderly? A song for the children? We don't know! But it is BINGOOOOOOOOO!!!!  This week, Abbey and Mish talk about the new year and set some gamified goals for the pod. Don't worry, we keep it achievable - just hitting 50k followers, making a considerable amount of money, and getting onstage with Role Model, somehow someway.  Hey - a girl can dream and can dream big! What else are we meant to do in the new year!?  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight.

    Ep 20. "Season of the Witch, FUN!"

    We're back! We never went anywhere! We can be both things! Something about us is that we're always going out, experiencing life, transforming, and recording anew. What a beautiful thing to bring to the studio (Abbey's bedroom; on the floor; with our tiny microphones).  This week, Michelle and Abbey reflect on the past few weeks and cast a fake spell with good intentions for the near future. Make sure to steep yourself a cup of tea and get cozy! This December is a little tooooooo cold for our liking.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight.

    Ep 19. "Toronto Not Spots"

    OHMYGODYOUGUYSWEJUSTWENTOTHECRAZIESTTORONTO [*record scratch*] Okay! We get it. There are a lot of places worth checking out in Toronto. We know your cellphones are oversaturated with happy hours, and cold plunges, and pizza rankings. But what about the places we walk past that make us die a little inside? Where are the influencers talking about corn allergies and street empanadas (quite literally).  This week, Abbey and Michelle go through their dating history and share their 10 Toronto "Not Spots." Places that have transformed with our memories of them. Hopefully soon we can do a "relcaimation" episode. Mish really needs that Windsor-style pizza.  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight.

    Ep 18. "Is *EVERYONE* A Star?" (5SOS Episode)

    BITE THE APPLE, BABY!!! (Y)OUR FAVOURITE BOYBAND IS BACK. 🍎🪩🪨 What better way to connect than by honouring our fangirl roots? This week, Abbey and Michelle revert back to their ways when they had significant followings online - followings they didn't utilize to ensure they would never have to work again. Idiots! Fools! Jesters!  We're talking about 5 Seconds of Summer, babes. The Australian pop-rock-band-not-a-boyband-but-is-a-boyband? that captured our hearts all the way back in 2011. Their album is fresh, it's hot, and it has us feeling 17 again. We thought it would be fun to make an educated guess about their new album "EVERYONE'S A STAR!" and be a little delusional while we're at it.  And if you're a member of 5SOS reading this, our numbers are: (2 xx) xxx xxxx and (2 xx) xxx xxxx. xo!  Softblock, The Podcast is a new Canadian show hosted by Abbey Humphreys-Morris and Michelle Blight.

From modern dating to the acceptance of human mortality, this list will definitely send shivers down your spine. (Maybe wear an extra layer? It's going to make your costume look a little funny, but we're living in the Northern Hemisphere, so like, everyone knows the limitations of a corset and a pair of bloomers. You look hot, babe.
