Hosts Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo, who you might know as the co-founders of the website Of a Kind (RIP!) or the co-authors of the book Work Wife, are all about discovery and enthusiasm. We've heard this weekly podcast described as a 'unique mix of urgent discussions of non-urgent things and thoughtful discussions of important, and often otherwise ignored, things,' and we're very much on board with that take.

Julius Fanfic, Pick Me Foods, and Cotton Candy Art

Coming to you live from the couch! We have a batch of miscellaneous updates for you, from Julius and Tree Paine fanfic to food trends, cute and otherwise. Cutie news! Hello Kitty + Miffy statues have shown up at 17 State St. in NYC, and we’re excited to see these two powerhouses partner in this way. We are captivated by the very elaborate Fluffy Algodón Cotton Candy Art and floof cotton candy cakes. Also! Rebecca Jennings’s story on “pick me” foods for Vox is an incredibly interesting piece about how food trends change, and it brought some great memes to our attention. Speaking of meme accounts: We suggest taking a peek at Assistants vs. Agents on Instagram and their Hollywood Agent Awards specifically. What celeb content are you fanfic-ing?

It’s the next exceedingly delightful 831 Stories release, out tomorrow! Upasna’s Thingies include incense in the mornings (Upstate Stock’s Albany Black Spruce, specifically), scented body oil over perfume (Nuxe FTW), a red lip with no makeup ( Violette Bisou Balm—and maybe she’ll try Ilia Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon?), Italian hand gestures, a heating pad, meaningful apologies, and Opsin Archive ceramics.

How We’re Taking Care of Ourselves, Brought to You by OSEA

Major thanks to OSEA for bringing us this episode—10% off your first order with the code ATHINGORTWO! Can we start with some praise for OSEA’s Undaria Algae Body Butter?

Erica’s getting an actual desk setup, eating a fulfilling lunch (shoutout to Chris Gayomali’s Heavies Substack about soup), revisiting her five-year journal, maintaining a saved sentence archive practice, and having high-end fun and heavy snacks.

Crowd Favorite: Olsen Oracle, Holiday Cards, and Inspiringly Nutty Ways to Use the Notes App

Call it a classic grab bag from this time last year! Please note that we are still in the market for your Notes App intel… Gained some wisdom from @OlsenOracle, a perfect fan account (that is maybe even Olsen approved???). We’re having a Marcella Hazan moment, thanks to, as Food & Wine put it her “radical simplicity.” Some recipes we’ve been cooking: THE tomato, onion, and butter sauce, grilled fish romagna style, pesto, rice and smothered cabbage soup, and chimney sweep’s gelato. Speaking of cooking, we must discuss this Julia Child gas stove story by Rebecca Leber for Vox, which pairs well with “How the Fossil Fuel Industry Convinced Americans to Love Gas Stoves,” which she wrote for Mother Jones. Your Notes Apping!! See: this packing-list revelation from@rileejsmith (um, the template). We also love this TikTok from @kiramackenz. What weird things are you up to in the Notes App? Let us know at 833-632-5463, podcast@athingortwohq.com, @athingortwohq, or in our Geneva! Give your hair the gift of Nutrafol. Take $10 off your first month’s subscription with the code ATHINGORTWO.

45 minute ads for FrameBridge

I was really disappointed with the FrameBridge episode. As a long-time listener, I expect thoughtful discussions, but this felt more like a 45-minute undisclosed advertisement rather than an objective conversation. There was no real critique, no challenging questions—just an extended promotional piece. Transparency is key in podcasting, and failing to disclose sponsorships or financial relationships damages credibility. Unfortunately, this has made me lose trust in the podcast. If this is the direction it’s heading, I’ll have to reconsider whether it’s worth my time. I hope future episodes return to providing genuine, insightful content rather than serving as PR for brands.
So fun

Love hearing these women chat about the most specific and interesting things. They’re so passionate about the most random topics - it’s hilarious and inspiring at the same time. Always makes me giggle, launch into into new rabbit holes, and find new obsessions myself!
Great Show - One Complaint

Love the show but the way one of the hosts yells “HIII” at the beginning is aurally distressing. Additionally, the alternate little opening “oh hai!” Is not painful like the “HIIII,” but is bafflingly infuriating. Maybe it’s the artifice–you’re not surprised to see anyone… you’re recording… I beg you to change this and stop. I hate being sonically bombarded with a scream of HIIII at the beginning of an otherwise great podcast
