Ever been personally victimized by a school dance? Amber, Ashley, and Julie relive proms, awkward slow dances, and the humiliating moments that somehow led to new friendships. Ashley talks about having a shaved head, we learn Amber’s mom tricked her into going to a dance, and that Julie tried on every prom dress at Macy’s. Along the way, the gals wonder what happened to all those people whose names they can’t remember, question whether some teachers just suck, revisit Saved by the Bell and that iconic Zach and Kelly first kiss, and yes, someone is accused of witchcraft.

Welcome to The Brighter Side! A weekly podcast that aims to be a positive light in the horror show we call Earth. A cynic's look at optimism, if you will. Try it! Partner broke up with you? More time for [INSERT FUN HOBBY YOU'VE BEEN DYING TO TRY]! Think less toxic positivity and more: if we don't laugh, we spiral. We promise—everything is gonna be alright.

Hosted by Ed Larson, Amber Nelson, Ashley Brooke Roberts, and Julie Rosing.
