I Got a Grok in My 'Rari w/ Dr. Jack Keefe
Chat, are we cooked? Julia is joined by friend and mentor Dr. Jack Keefe to explore the ongoing epidemic of AI psychosis and the dire consequences of having a sycophant in our pocket. They trace the history of how technology has repeatedly reshaped our understanding of reality, from medieval nobles who believed their bodies were made of glass, telegraph operators struck by sudden paralysis, and tech moguls convinced they're living in The Matrix. Digressions include questioning the humanity of Mr. Beast, the stay tethered to reality challenge, and The Truman Show as a psychotic touchstone. This episode was produced by Julia Hava and Kylie Finnigan and edited by Livi Burdette. Check out Jack's work here: https://jack-keefe.com/ WE'RE GOING ON TOUR!!!!

God, Air, and the Internet w/ Mackenzie Thomas
This week, Julia is joined by artist and writer Mackenzie Thomas to discuss the beautiful and humiliating archive of the self. They revisit adolescent diary entries, being trolled by your middle school crush, the childhood-loneliness to Tumblr pipeline, and the power of turning your most embarrassing moments into art. Digressions include The Rizzler being our generation's Shirley Temple, asking the CEO of Instagram for what you want, and dance moves that should be illegal for men to perform.

Seeking God at the Revolve Tent w/ Allegra Chapman
This week, Julia is joined by Allegra to investigate the enduring, mythical appeal of the music festival. From medieval carnivals to Woodstock, and Coachella brand trips to FYRE fest, the girlies explore the human desire to build temporary utopias — and how festival outcomes range from communal transcendence and PLUR to corporate-branded slop and FEMA-level weather events. Digressions include Billie Eilish starring in The Bell Jar for some reason, the ouroborous of influencer video essays, and Allegra's parents getting matching plastic surgery on her birthday.
