Nick Roth's "Hanky Panky" is, depending on how you view it, a single-location horror comedy, an alien invasion movie on an extreme budget, or both. Writer-director Nick Roth sits down with Jen to talk about the ins and outs of how he got it made, and the challenges of casting when one of your leads is a napkin.

She talks about her activism, kindness as an ethos, some of her incredible family stories, and representation in popular culture. We laugh, we cry, it's better than "Cats."

To say that Jen was excited to talk to Belinda Bromilow, Aunt Elizabeth in Hulu’s “The Great,” is putting it very mildly. Elizabeth is one of the most complicated, mercurial and dare we say iconic characters in a series packed with them, and Jen and Belinda get into some of the nooks and crannies of how one finds their way into that type of character and how important it is to empathize with them. They also discuss mushrooms, pregnancy, and why women over forty are really hungry to punch people.

Self described plant-mom Steph and her "proper zoo nerd" partner Connor have created a podcast that makes learning about nature fun by bringing new species of plants and animals to their audience with each episode as part of a fantasy zoo and botanical garden. Steph and Jen talk about how intellectual gatekeeping can discourage everyday people from participating in furthering their own learning and why it's important to make the stories of science accessible and meet people where they're at.
