In season 1, we explore Holly's massive family secret. When she was just 17, Holly Brown’s dad was dying of cancer. It looked like life couldn’t get more traumatic, until her dad dropped a bombshell….or two bombshells, really: twin brothers that her entire family kept secret. She was the only one who didn’t know they existed. After his death left her with more questions than answers, Holly sets out to uncover how a secret this big could be hidden, and why the sitcoms that raised her were often the only way to make sense of a life stranger than TV. But Season 1 was only Holly's f*cked up family sitcom. In season 2, we get to know yours...

Did you know it’s hard to find a piece of teen media from the 90’s and the 2000’s that DOESN’T include an inappropriate teacher/student storyline? This week, Sydney and Katy from Not Just a Terrible Story join Holly to revisit the teacher-student relationships we grew up watching on TV and in movies, and what those storylines taught us was okay. From Election to Pretty Little Liars to Friends, we're looking back at how pop culture romanticized, made light of, and even celebrated inappropriate relationships between teachers and students, and the messages those portrayals sent about consent, power, and abuse. And, in our very EKBM fashion, we share our own personal experiences of how this showed up in our real lives. Content warning: This episode includes discussions of educator sexual misconduct, grooming, sexual abuse, and other sensitive topics. *** SHOW SPONSOR: If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

Producer Pete joins Holly as she revisits how an online relationship became something far more complicated and harmful, why the circumstances of her life at the time made her especially vulnerable, and the things she understands very differently looking back as an adult.

Award-winning journalist, podcast host, and digital activist Bridget Todd has spent years examining how technology shapes our lives. Then in 2025, within an incredibly short period of time, Bridget’s mom died suddenly and she became a caregiver for her seriously ill dad. She was grieving, overwhelmed, and suddenly responsible for navigating an endless list of medical, insurance, and caregiving decisions. And that’s when an AI critic turned to AI. Bridget’s experience inspired her new audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy , which investigates something that sounds like science fiction but is very much already here: people turning to AI for romance, friendship, therapy, companionship and emotional support. And she joins Holly to talk about losing the people you love, wondering who would actually show up for you in a crisis, and finding yourself reaching for comfort somewhere you NEVER thought you would. *** SHOW SPONSOR: If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

A lot of you probably think your parents are a little annoying, or even kinda overbearing. But how far would they have to go for you to decide to cut them off completely? Growing up, that was a question writer Gabrielle Moss had no idea she could even consider, because it seemed like there was no limit to the toxic behavior her mom and dad were willing to exhibit. Then, as she outlined in her mega-viral 2018 article for Bustle, one day Gabrielle decided enough was enough, and immediately felt freer than she ever had in her life before. Gabrielle joins Holly to remind everyone that a relationship being important doesn’t automatically make it healthy. And when the person crossing your boundaries is the person you’ve been taught you're never supposed to walk away from…you definitely still can. *** SHOW SPONSOR: If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.
