Aaaaand We’re Back!



It’s Season 3 bay-bee, and in this episode we’re looking back at our 2021 projections and setting new ones for 2022 (mostly nail stickers and Call of Duty because it’s been a year and we’re exhausted from the lack of estrogen).

Schrodinger’s Lump



It’s the season finale, so join us as we discuss that thing you found on the side of your throat that never used to be there or that new pain you have in your hip; wherever and whatever it is, math says it’s both cancer and not cancer at the same time.


Cancer, Amiright?



Join us for the first annual Breast Cancer Is Boring Comedy Showcase starring Helen Park! We’re talking breaking into comedy over Zoom, turning unfunny cancer into hilarious boob coasters and our endless love for Tig Notaro.

Seriously, who doesn’t love Tig Notaro: https://youtu.be/WwFiFJn-v5w?t=176


Pinktober Returns



You think religious vampire zealots are scary, wait until you get a load of where your breast cancer charity donations are going. It’s downright terrifying!

Grief Shit



Rebecca Handler is the author of Edie Richter is Not Alone (perhaps you’ve heard of it; it’s kind of a big deal) and she’s joining us to talk about death humor, why “journey” is such a triggering word and horror dolls made with 100% human hair. Oh yeah, and also breast cancer.


Forever Ever



Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) gets very little attention and even less funding. Special guest Emily Powell is here to talk about MBC, TikTok, Canadian healthcare and whether hedgehogs are pokey. Join us!
