Selling ~Health~
Are you feeling yourself reaching for the “cutest” bottle of vitamins in the store now more than ever? So are we. We’re seeing a shift in the landscape of “health influencing” as we leave the era of the Skinny Teas and #fitspo (thank god) but move into a new space where aesthetics are at the forefront, sometimes even over science. This week, we’re discussing our thoughts on this shift and what we think it might mean for people trying to navigate the social media world and their own health journeys. We hope you enjoy our honest chat!

It’s almost officially fall and we’re getting in the spirit! The weather where we live is still excruciatingly hot and if it is where you live too, we hope this episode can give you hope for what’s to come: crisp mornings, comforting food, and cozy vibes. Today, we’re forecasting fashion and beauty trends for this fall and we are NOT holding back when sharing our honest opinions on the potential trends.

The Political Feed (ft. Girl and The Gov)
When did social media get so political? Or rather when did politics get so wrapped in social media? You might be wondering and frankly, we’re not sure… but special guests from the podcast and digital media and events company Girl and the Gov, Maddie and Sammy, sit down with us this week to discuss all things related to political media culture. We dive into topics like political posting etiquette, their stance on performative activism, thoughts on the self-claimed “apolitical” friend and so much more!

Bama Rush
Boom boom! It’s the best time of the year, when millions of people tune into TikTok to see which sorority the latest group of freshmen at the University of Alabama are running home to at the end of the week - and get some OOTDs along the way. We’re here to break down the new annual tradition, “rushtok”, and share our unqualified yet passionate takes on the whole process!

The Photo Dump
We’re a bit skeptical of what we call this “curated candid” culture existing recently on Instagram. In this episode, we’re breaking down the “photo dump” trend and giving our thoughts on Instagram’s recent changes. We’ll share our ~candid~ takes on this phenomenon and of course, give some unsolicited advice on how to navigate this trend and conceptualize its implications!

The Kids
Should parents and caregivers be allowed to post content of their children online? Is this crossing boundaries and disregarding consent? Or is it harmless, if done responsibly, since basically everyone is already on the internet to some extent? Today, we’re sharing our personal stories relevant to this topic, as well as some stories in the influencer world where sharing children online has gone too far (in our opinion). This is an ever-changing topic, and as we all navigate the new form of “reality” that exists online, our views can, and most likely will evolve with the times. We hope you enjoy our candid discussion on this topic and feel free to share your own opinions @nyfpod on IG or by emailing us at nyfpod@gmail.com (mailto:nyfpod@gmail.com)!

The Kardashians
Maybe you love them, maybe you hate them, maybe you follow them, maybe they follow you (probably not). Whatever your personal opinion of the family is, there’s no denying that the Kardashian/Jenner’s have massive influence on young people today. We discuss the family’s many business ventures, some “scandals” that had the public questioning their character, and our candid thoughts on their polarizing online presence. Let us know what you think and send over episode suggestions to nyfpod@gmail.com (mailto:nyfpod@gmail.com)!

The Amazon Influencer
Are we qualified to speak on the reasons behind and implications of Amazon's explosive success in recent years? Probably not. But what we lack in credentials we make up for in ~hot takes~ and banter. In this episode we dive into the nitty gritty of what influencers gain from plugging products on their "Amazon Storefront" and how Amazon has tapped into a new form of marketing through this feature, among others. As usual, we go broad and discuss the company in general, its unique relationship with TikTok, and our opinions on it. Hope you enjoy!

The Micro Trend
Is it mass hysteria or just really REALLY good products? We discuss the phenomenon of micro trends this week and give our opinions on the trends that come and go in weeks or even days...

The Clean Girl
Not sure how wearing a tight bun, glowing makeup, and gold hoop earrings makes you a “clean” girl? Confused what kind of girl this implies you are if you don’t do these things? Same here. We’re breaking down the current trend of the “clean girl aesthetic” and throwing our assessment of this phenomenon into the mix of content on the subject. If you liked our discussion, you can follow @nyfpod on ig for updates on this podcast and come back next Monday for a new topic!
