Anything Could Happen to a Woman Like Me, Here, in Chicago | PSTUSA Mixtape 3
Heyoooo, I took a really epic long weekend trip to Chicago and I had an absolutely fabulous time. In this episode, I recount all of the fun tidbits of my solo travels to the windy city. I also tie in some of the music I was listening to as I was going about the city in my adventure. You can also listen to my descent into mumbling everything I say as my ed*ble starts to hit! Cheers to that!

People, I've Been Sad | PSTUSA Mixtape 2
Heyyyyyy, so I've been a little depressed lately. Life has been showing its rear to me and I have been coping with music. Being 25 is harder than I thought it would be LOL. Anyways, this episode is purely about the music that I've been listening to in my bout of depression. The recording is super off the cuff and unedited, plus I'm not recording in a studio and the audio quality randomly changes at the very end??? What the hell, sure. Anyways, enjoy this hot mess of an episode.

Doja Cat Is Confusing Us On Pupose? | PSTUSA EP2
Heyyyyy, welcome to the second episode of PSTUSA! For this one we take a splash into the catty world of Doja Cat. More specifically, we explore her upbringing as an artist and then shift it into a conversation about the promotions behind "Scarlet" vs. the promotions behind "Vie". Then we get a little silly and do some pondering as to what her next era as a pop artist could look like. Ms. Cat is certainly a divisive artist, and we see that to be a through-line in this episode. Happy listening!

Super Bowl Halftime Hoopla | PSTUSA Mixtape 1
Welcome to the first of my Mixtape series for PSTUSA! Think of the "mixtape" episodes as shorter, more bite-sized bits of music musings. The first one is about the Super Bowl Halftime show! We delve a little bit into the history, my thoughts on Bad Bunny, and my wishes and dreams for what halftime show I'd like to see in the future. Happy listening!
