Glorified Jist is a podcast for people who love pop culture, reality TV, internet discourse, and maybe even a little gossip, but know it is never just surface level. Hosted by Janelle Asha, the show explores the ideas, research, and conversations behind the stories we see online every day. Through weekly episodes and candid discussions with guests, Glorified Jist looks at popular culture with curiosity, critical thinking, and depth, getting to the gist of what really matters.
New episodes every Tuesday, with The Voicenote minisodes dropping bi-weekly in between.
WE MADE IT TO 10 EPISODES! 🥳
To celebrate, we're putting on our party hats and reflecting on the last six months with a return guest from Episode 5, Jason.
We revisit our very unsuccessful weight loss bet, talk about turning 26 and the realisation that we're now officially closer to 30 than 20, and read out a citation that asks us to think a little differently about getting older.
📖 Citation: 26 and Onwards: Why This Age Feels Like a Major Life Shift by Zahra Khan - https://medium.com/@zahra.khan759/26-and-onwards-why-this-age-feels-like-a-major-life-shift-15390b45a039
We also get into the much heavier side of the last six months: continuing to witness a genocide in Palestine while powerful media entities continue to silence or distance themselves from people speaking out. We discuss Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and the wider tension between artists, platforms and political expression.
Finally, we end on something a little more hopeful: manifesting money, love and peace for one another as we head into whatever comes next.
10 episodes down. Here's to many more.

The Voicenote: The Value of Pivoting
Hiatus is Glorified Jist's middle name, but at least I always come back :)
In this episode of The Voicenote Janelle Asha reflects on her career thus far as she hits 5 years in the beauty industry. She discusses how she went from an academic path to a more creative career overnight, her success, many failures, and lessons along the way.
Her career path has been pivotal to the birth of Glorified Jist, and as she opens herself up to new possibilities, it's only right she takes a moment to honour how it all started.
