This is Your Weekly Breakdown – the silly and (sometimes) smart podcast for busy women.

If you’ve shown up at a dinner party or meeting and not known what on earth people are talking about, then pull up a chair, baby, you’re at the right table. You'll feel like you're snuggled up on the couch chatting with your smart friends, or catching up with your girlfriend at a coffee shop while she fills you in on the latest drama.


Each week, join hosts Caitlin Howden and Emily Key to chat about cultural conversations and news, make fun of the latest pop culture happenings, rant about life’s minor inconveniences, judge each other’s style and life choices, and maybe interview a guest or 2.  

If you’re the kind of person who needs to know what the hell is going on in the world, wants to hear a hot take on the latest prestige TV, or just get a great recommendation for new music to listen to or book to read over the weekend, you’ve found your people.

Women of the Year, Teen Vogue news, Hot Louvre Heist guys, + Marriage Advice

Season 2 · Episode 42

samedi 8 novembre 2025 • Duration 52:10

This week on Your Weekly Breakdown, Emily and Caitlin cover everything from Elton John’s bone jewelry to belugas in peril. As always it's smart, funny, feminist, and slightly unhinged.

The girls spiral through new music obsessions, period blood as the new frontier in women's health, and Teen Vogue's demise. Also Prince Andrew is now "Just Andrew," and lol to Bari Weiss' 6 security unit detail. Even better, they tackle marriage advice and a Dick Cheney history lesson, too. Curl up for cozy chaos.

Lily Allen, "Trad Sons", Bot farms, Teacher strikes, Tariff ads, Dead heart transplants, the wellness gender gap, and the usual recos!

Season 2 · Episode 41

dimanche 2 novembre 2025 • Duration 02:05:27

The girls are back with all things culture, work, and women, and have their fav recos for you, per usual. But also...could you live in the 1800s? Have you thought about the SCENT? 

Cait and Em are back this week to chat about everything from Doug Ford's tariffs ads to the bot farm heist, to "trad sons" (gtfo) and education strikes. Also did you hear about the woman who ended her marriage after 25 years because her husband ate her slice of cake? Not mad about it, but the girls also address the backlash over the e-reader remote comments.

PS who was your first crush?! Cait and Em realize they have the SAME first crush: Devon Sawa. Also maybe Kate Winslet? And sorry, wait, when did you realize your parents didn't know EVERYTHING? Just curious. The girls consider how much is too much to tolerate in a relationship, and study the etymology of the word DUDE.

Is there a wellness gender gap? Rhetorical question, but they dive in anyway. Cait finally makes Em speechless with her news about 'dead heart transplants'. They apologize to all of the doctors listening.

Millennial women stuff, crunchy teen influencers + the wellness industry, party etiquette, and Halle Berry's lube

Season 1 · Episode 31

mercredi 28 mai 2025 • Duration 50:25

Cait and Em are back to hang out and shoot the breeze! This week, they chat about how millennial women are out-earning millennial men and how (!!) they're also still shoulder the bulk of household work. Not shocked.

The girls chat about periods, PMDD, whether or not "traditions" are worth it, and why the way we're thinking about fitness is all wrong.

A recent Open AI model tells users whatever they want to hear, and there is no easy way to parent in the age of technology. 

Emily asks "what is something that improved the quality of your life so much that you wish you'd been doing it forever?" and Caitlin has a few of her own "would you rather" questions up her sleeve, too. 

In addition, the girls cover Iceland political news, Nashville ICE chaos, a new scientific discovery, Traitors-themed birthday parties, rant about party etiquette, and why Emily would NEVER borrow a duvet from a neighbour (EW!).

You'll feel like you're curled up on the couch with your friends chatting about life and current events.

The expense and exhaustion of parenting, Summer books, Our body image issues, AI bots and friends, and digestible news

Cait and Emily are thrilled to be back in the studio and have a jam-packed episode for you! They cover parenting lately, the sheer expense of kids' camps, and all of the books they are excited about. 

As always, they poke fun at each other and the latest headlines, including companies getting backlash for dialling back DEI programs, Trump's first meeting with Canada's newest Prime Minister, Mark Carney, and Mark Zuckerberg wanting us all to have AI friends instead of friends IRL. Also, yes, you should watch The Four Season tv show AND Another Simple Favor. 

Pop in your headphones and join the girls for a catch up, where they make news, pop culture, and trends digestible and fun.

P3n!s filler, Feminism in space, Elon's harem of women, and Rethinking US travel

Season 1 · Episode 29

vendredi 2 mai 2025 • Duration 43:16

Cait and Em are back, although they're remote today so please excuse the audio! Back in the studio for the next episode. 

This episode is all about feminism in space, Elon's harem of baby mamas, rethinking US travel, and great recommendations for what to watch and read. Also, after Cait and Em's very viral post about labia puffs, the girls have an entire segment on -- you guessed it -- penis filler! Riveting stuff. 

After a few weeks away, there's much to catch up on, including illegal deportations, Andrew Tate, parthenogenesis, questionable egg freezing pricing model, Dolphins communicating with urine, and everything Cait learned from the hair and makeup experts on set while filming her show.
