How Did We Get Here? is an honest look into the trying times that we face in that weird transitional stage between being a teenager and being an adult. Hosted by Keelyn Thorogood (white) and Lauren Denton (black), two queer women caught in this very stage, the podcast dives into topics such as friendships, mental health, sexuality and relationships, with a little bit of social commentary sprinkled into each episode. This is starting to sound more like a recipe than a blurb. Regardless, the show will feature guests from various walks of life as we try together to answer the question: How Did We Get Here?

Sweaty Girl Summer and the Holy Trinity of Hotness
After a brief (very long) hiatus, your favourite ladies are back and better than ever, ready to discuss the trials and tribulations of summer with you. In this episode, Keelyn and Lauren pick apart what they call “The Holy Trinity of Hotness”, consisting of chafing/sweating, shaving, and nipples. They talk about their own views on each of the subjects as well as how their views have been influenced as they’ve grown up in our society, ultimately leaving you with the call to do whatever feels best for you and consider deinfluencing the parts of your mind that are prone to succumbing to societal pressures. The usual jibber jabber. Both Keelyn and Lauren divulge their outfit mottos for the summer and give you some advice on coping with The Holy Trinity as beautifully as possible. We hope that the start to your Sweaty Girl Summer goes swimmingly and we will see you next month for another super sexy episode!
TW: talk of m*n, society, patriarchy, paedophelia, sex, razors, infantilization, the objectification of women and how hard it is being beautiful

Don't Be Rude, Just Be Beautiful: The Life of an International Model ft. Sammie Carlson
In this episode of How Did We Get Here?, Keelyn and Lauren are joined by their friend and idol Samantha “Sammie” Carlson, who has spent part of the last year modelling internationally in Asia. Sammie recounts stories from her time in Jakarta, Indonesia, gives insight on the inner life of models and what a day-in-the-life looks like, and tells us about her goals for the future. The three of them digress into topics such as disorder eating and how its impacted Sammie’s experience, why models are actually poor (lol same), and how Sammie’s modelling career is influenced by her feminist viewpoints. Another juicy episode full of laughs and social commentary from your favourite sexy queers.

The Cherry on the Cake: Our Dating Views Pt.2
In the second part of their dating two-parter, Keelyn and Lauren discuss their types and their preferences for first dates (wink wink nudge nudge), but not before Keelyn gropes Lauren with her toes and sings a gorgeous rendition of ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine. The ladies digress into topics of asexuality, whether or not they’ve actually every liked anyone, and what their dating philosophies are going forward. Another enlightening episode from the beautiful and talented Locklis (Keelyn and Lauren’s established ship name).
TW: m*n, talk of relationships and dating, mature language, intercourse, loud and abrupt screaming

Hinge Whorror Stories: Our Dating Views Pt.1
Keelyn and Lauren dive headfirst into the depths of the dating world in the first full-length episode of How Did We Get Here?. They discuss the horrors and joys of using Hinge, whether or not asking a woman to sit on your face is a feminist act, and their thoughts on dating in high school. While they only scratch the surface of the topic, they do get slightly political (as they always do) and begin breaking down whether or not race plays a roll in dating preference and attraction. If you would like to share your thoughts and experiences in regards to this, you can fill out the Google form linked with this episode, the results of which will be discussed in the second dating episode which will air February 10th.
