Never Have I Ever... Hosted a Podcast

One podcast at a time just wasn't enough for us, so we started a second. In "Our Extraordinary Podcast," we break down episodes of the NBC show "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" with our signature style. Check out this trailer to learn what we love about the show and get a sense for what the podcast is about. P.S. We changed our IG name after we recorded this trailer. We're now on Twitter and Instagram @ourextrapod, and you can find the podcast itself at ourextrapod.fireside.fm.

We're not going to throw our lives away for you, but we WILL bring you a breakdown of the NHIE Season 1 finale, aka the episode where Devi finally learns to admit when she's wrong and apologize. We talk about how Devi and her mom have both grown this season, what we want to see in Season 2, and of course, THE BEVIDENCE. Oh, and John McEnroe shows up at the end to say hi! (Okay, not really, but wouldn't it be cool if he had?)

This week, Dani and Clara break down episode 1x09, "Never Have I Ever...Had to Be on My Best Behavior." We talk about arranged marriages, complicated mother-daughter relationships, and Kamala's cadre of hotties. Plus, a little bit of Daxton and our usual fashion, one-liners, and MVPs. Thanks for not thinking we're uggos!

Can we invite Trent? Too late, already did. This week, we're joined by Ben Norris (Trent), who shares his favorite onscreen and offscreen moments, regales us with his audition story, gets really into ships #TRELEANOR, and confirms that Trent is indeed a stoner. Eleanor may be really into beige, but we had a blast talking about friendship, awkward love triangles, and Ben's terrifying face cake.

Hey, baby Buttigieges! It's time to strap in for another episode of "Never Have I Ever...Hosted a Podcast." This week, Lee Rodriguez (Fabiola) and Ramona Young (Eleanor) join us to talk high school, parents, and musicals. There's even some singing! Oh, and we eventually talk about the episode. Since Fabiola comes out to her mom in this episode, we're sharing the resources we compiled for episode 1x05 again. If you're coming out or if someone close to you has come out, these resources can help you navigate those waters: The Trevor Project's resources for LGBTQ+ youth The Matthew Shepherd Foundation's resources for coming out PFLAG's resources for families of LGBTQ+ people Special Guests: Lee Rodriguez and Ramona Young.

This week, Dani and Clara break down episode 1x06, "Never Have I Ever...Been the Loneliest Boy in the World." We cover Ben's burgeoning affection for Devi (and Paxton??), his bisexual wardrobe, and Jewish stereotypes in media. Plus, magic houses for all our NHIE babes. And don't worry, Ben -- we say weird things when we're drunk on grigio, too.

Bad morning, enemy! This week, Alex Skinner (Dudley) joins us to try to introduce some decorum into our discussuion of episode 1x05, "Never Have I Ever...Started a Nuclear War." We talk out-of-control Model UN sessions, the trash heap that is Davis, ships (omg Dani, enough with the Benvi obsession already!! -- jk love you), and of course, Fabiola coming out to her best friend. Coming out can be a scary process, especially the first time. If you're considering coming out to your friends or loved ones, or if you want to know how you can make it easier for someone you love to come out to you, these organizations have some great resources that can help: The Trevor Project's resources for LGBTQ+ youth The Matthew Shepherd Foundation's resources for coming out PFLAG's resources for families of LGBTQ+ people Special Guest: Alex Skinner.

We talk about Ganesh Puja, gossiping aunties, growing up bicultural, and the feeling of rejecting and feeling rejected by your community. Plus, we share some feedback on this episode from Indian and Indian-American viewers.
