Afternoonas Unwrapped

Episode 323

Wednesday, September 2, 2026 • Duration 44:50

For the first time since 2023, all three noonas were in the same place at the same time! We converged on Chicago for BTS and made the most of our short time together, including snuggling up in Amy's bed to record this episode. You're welcome, video viewers! For this self-indulgent episode, we took the opportunity to reintroduce ourselves as the hosts we are now compared to the timid, newbie podcasters we were five plus years ago. Today we share things we never would have shared--like our underwear packing habits and how Bigfoot was an integral figure in our early author lives--on that first, VERY scripted episode. So snuggle up, listeners, and hop in bed with us for Afternoonas Unwrapped!

Mirror Mirror: What Do K-Dramas Reflect Back To Me?

Episode 318

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 55:09

It's only Lia in the studio tonight...and is it going to be debauchery, and fingers in mouths, and no "Amy Button" in sight? Ha! No! It's all melancholic reflections and enough confessionals to rival any 90's era album.

While K-Dramas started as an escape, Lia shares how they quickly became a mirror, reflecting self (good and uncomfortable). From My Mister and the stillness it asked for before she was ready to give it, to Her Private Life and the ache of wanting to be met in joy, to why does she return to one specific drama for comfort — she reflects on love, homesickness, family, and the parts of herself she'd rather not admit she recognizes
.

Because that's the strange gift that can often happen with a good story: you think you are watching them. Turns out, the whole time, you were watching yourself.
