  • Break From the Noise: TIOV Reads Reddit part 1
    Apr 26 2026

    Are you sick of being so serious? So are we! Here, we take a much-needed rest and reprieve from the chaos of current events, and instead focus on some day-to-day drama from the magical world that is Reddit. We enjoyed it so much, we're planning to work some stories into the end of future episodes so we can end on a high note. Let us know if there are any kinds of stories you would like to hear! We are also looking for more guests!

  • Staying Human in a Time of W.A.R.: Wounds, Anxiety, & Resilience
    Apr 8 2026

    Trigger Warning

    This was recorded a few days after the war in Iran started; we know the number of lives lost has increased. This episode opens with a moment of silence honoring the soldiers killed in Iran, including a close friend of Maggie’s husband. From there, we take a grounded look at the political events that led to the current war and why global tensions feel so high right now. We explore the mental‑health impact of living through conflict, how trauma shows up in the body, how fear narrows our window of tolerance, and why regulation becomes harder under threat. Finally, we talk about what it means to prepare as a community, support one another, and stay connected in a time of uncertainty.

  • Sexism, Sports, and the Stuff We’re Tired of Pretending isn’t there
    Apr 1 2026

    Trigger Warning

    Heyyy Ladies….this one’s for you!

    In all seriousness, in this episode, we dig into everyday realities of sexism and how it shows up in every aspect of our lives, not just sports or the news. We explore the Olympic headlines and comments made about the women’s hockey team, and how sexism is not just a collection of isolated incidents but a cultural system that shapes expectations, behavior, and identity. We share personal stories and honest reflection, and the way these experiences intersect with family dynamics, faith, and the messages we were raised with. Amid the frustration of being a woman, we highlight the empowerment that comes from naming these experiences and reclaiming our voice! We want to honor women and their experiences, their anger, and their power within them to lift them and amplify our voices!
