- Episode 26: Reasons NOT to do The Thing! (Maybe Marriage Isn’t for You?)
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single person, in possession of whatever amount of fortune, doesn’t NECESSARILY want to get hitched. ”
-Jane Austen, or something.
PS. Thank you so much for listening to our lil podcast about how wedding planning can sometimes suck real hard! We’re taking a brief hiatus (Liz is married now!), but we’ll be back soon. Keep an ear to the ground for more Spice Chain updates, and follow us on instagram (@MWIC_Podcast) for some nice photos from the wedding! SEE YOU, SPACE COWPEOPLE!
11 September 2018, 8:32 pm - BONUS ROUND: Spice Chain!
If you, or someone you love, is a Spice Chain, PLEASE email us and let us know. Is Liz being Punk’d? PROBABLY.
4 September 2018, 6:50 pm - Episode 25: Doin’ The Thing! Ceremonies!
The wedding’s just around the corner, so Liz and Teagan talk the ins and outs of how to actually do the wedding bit of being wed! But in the meantime, they also talk the commodification of self-care, making your dog an officiant, and the benefits of being a Dudas Priest.
4 September 2018, 6:49 pm - Episode 24: Le Honeymoon, Ooh La La!
Liz listened to a very earnest pitch on pots and pans in pursuit of a “free” honeymoon, and now you can hear about it so you don’t have to watch a man cook chicken! You’re welcome, America!
28 August 2018, 6:16 pm - Episode 23: The B-Word
This week, we talk the B-word. That’s right. The B-word, the dreaded word that brides get called when they’re just tryin’ to do their best in a patriarchy-trap. You guessed it, that word is BUTTHOLE.
JK, JK, it’s Bridezilla. But maybe we should call people being buttholes for their wedding buttholes instead of a sexist term used to keep women from asking for too much for themselves? I DUNNO, I’M NOT THE FUN POLICE.
Here’s a picture of a podcat, full of ennui!
21 August 2018, 5:29 pm - A Brief Break
Hello All. Unfortunately, Liz’s family got some very sad news this past week, which meant there’s no new episode. Stay tuned, Liz and Teagan will be back soon! In the meantime, let’s revisit the first episode and see how far we’ve come!
Countdown to the wedding is 24 days to go!
15 August 2018, 2:30 am - Episode 22: Guestiquette
This week, Teagan and Liz take a brief break from shouting about being a person getting wedding-ed and the patriarchy to spend some time talking about GOING to a wedding and the patriarchy. How should one be a wedding guest? Here’s a hint- don’t spit blood on the bride!
7 August 2018, 4:58 pm - Episode 21: Say My Name, Say My Name
Name-changing is a sticky subject, especially when changing your name means you will share a moniker with a very famous actress-lady. As per usual, patriarchy makes things more complicated than they have to be.
31 July 2018, 9:31 pm - Episode 20: Mothers-in-Law
This week, it’s Liz and Damon, chatting about Mothers-in-Law, sitcoms, and sitcomy-mothers-in-law.
25 July 2018, 4:44 am - Episode 19: Everyone Knows About Your Wedding Underpants
I don’t know if you thought maybe that underpants would be the part of wedding planning that was easy and not totally fraught with outdated societal pressures, but IF YOU DID, I have bad news for you!
