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.

    Ep 34. "Abracadabraham Maslow"

    Some things are meaningless, some things are frills, and some things are pure, psychological needs.  This week, Abbey and Michelle have each created their own "Hierarchy of Needs" a la psychologist Abraham Maslow.

    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!
