We have a lot to catch up on
<p>The girls are back from their summer breaks abroad and apparently missed everything: the Obsession movie, first thoughts on Love Island Season 8, the Summer House reunion, Mika Abdullah and Jake Short’s podcast disaster, Kaitlyn’s theory on problematic male actors in “dog movies,” and whether the “Women in SPAM” trend is a hit or miss. </p><p>-----------</p><p>Follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whywedontsleeppod/"><u>@whywedontsleeppod</u></a></p><p>Follow us on TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@wwdspod?_r=1&_t=zp-92w7fafxwyw"><u>@wwdspod</u></a></p><p>No show notes this episode (all off the dome) </p><p><br></p>

Our Most Controversial Articles of 2026 (So Far)
<p>The girls are breaking down some of the most controversial articles they’ve come across this year. Kaitlyn brings to the table the eye-opening exposé on the very strategic political narrative linking country music to conservative culture, and Kiara unpacks a shockingly offensive and poorly executed study on endometriosis that bizarrely ties the condition to women's hotness.

Girls Explain Folklore: Why does it scare us?
<p>Kiara takes the lead this week, diving into a topic that has always both fascinated and scared her. She walks Kaitlyn through the history of folklore and why folk horror, like Midsommar and The VVitch, gets under our skin in such a specific unsettling way. Oh, and yes, they cover the Klay Thompson of it all, we’re just waiting for the Etsy witches to handle it at this point. </p><p>----</p><p>Follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whywedontsleeppod/">@whywedontsleeppod</a></p><p>Follow us on TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@wwdspod?_r=1&_t=zp-92w7fafxwyw">@wwdspod</a></p><p>Show <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cAjeAWtkUhIlA_o0GN6M3UtNidomi7PW/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108546525506551823368&rtpof=true&sd=true">notes</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
