Bad Vibes from Betches Media is a podcast for a new generation. Hosts Talia Lichtstein and Alexis Barber are here to tell it like it is and talk some sh*t. If you can’t get enough of social media but you’re sick of everyone on it, this podcast is 100% for you. They’re coming for everything you love (and everything you love to hate). No one on the internet is safe. Feel free to listen, or just hate listen. We don’t really care which.

Talia and Alexis cover all your q’s and explain why it’s time to say farewell (don’t worry, they’re still best friends IRL), before giving their weekly life update, one last time. But they’re not about leave without talking some sh*t and naming some names—AKA what they do best. First up, they address all the Tinx drama. Tune in for the backstory, the debrief, and of course, the hot takes. Then a listener voicemail about pushing away the need for external validation. We’ve all felt insecure, and Talia and Alexis share their personal experiences on that ~self love journey~.

It’s Complicated: Family Holidays Edition
She’s back (covid, that is). Today’s ep takes place at home, since Alexis is unfortunately positive. Talia, however, is positively negative, and has actually never had the ‘rona (as far as she knows). Alexis hopes she’ll get over the virus just in time for Coachella, which sparks a convo about the famed festival (including some of Talia’s *wild* mems). Then onto this week’s Vibe Check, all about family holidays. The consensus? It’s complicated—Alexis and Talia break it down. They wrap up with a quick chat about all things celeb news: Britney Spears’ pregnancy (they literally find out mid show), Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz’s wedding, and J.Lo and Ben Affleck’s *latest* engagement. Stay tuned for next week’s pod, which will be live from sunny CA.
Think of Jordana and Dr. Naomi as your BFF and your therapist, sitting side-by-side at the brunch table trying to help you get through your problems. Because sometimes we really need advice from people with no skin in the game. And let’s face it, your friends can’t stand to hear that story one more time.
