Dr. Amy Morris joins us to discuss whether you can have cake and still limit your chances of a cancer recurrence…too. She’s got the evidence-based answers, and they’re not as bad as you think. Follow @dramymorris on socials Follow us @breastcancerisboring

We’re all for cancer research, but could we please focus more attention on developing a Dr. Who fourth dimensional phone booth situation into a carry-on suitcase?

Here we go a-fucking-gain, another Pinktober on the horizon. You could scream into the void, or you can listen to our Dos and Don’ts list. Or both. Go wild.

If you thought breast cancer was boring, wait ’til you hear about sarcoma. Join special guest and honorary co-host Brandi Thompson as we explore some of the fun ways in which our bodies are out here trying to un-alive us. Yay!

If you’ve ever been diagnosed with breast cancer (or any other kind of cancer), you are very familiar with the above phrase. In this episode, join Lauren and Joselyn as they talk through the lasting impact of a cancer diagnosis, from the soul crushing certainty of metastasis to the manic energy of the “fuck it, let’s go to Europe” era. In either case, we’re gonna have some fun.

Oooh it’s that time of the pod year again! A time where we let The Lord loose and lose a view listeners (probs). It’s the god, God and gods episode. Enjoy. The League of Women Voters (but, like, everyone can join) The Seven Tenets (but, like, don’t click if you believe in an actual Satan because there’s, like, skulls and dragons and stuff)

In this long awaited B Side, Rebecca Handler (award winning author of Edie Richter Is Not Alone, podcast alum and general Person of Note) and Joselyn discuss the merits and myriad flaws of big ass churches erected in the name of that one guy who famously told everyone to sell all their shit. Buy Edie Richter Is Not Alone on paperback! Rebecca Handler’s blog!

Special guest Rebecca Handler, award winning author of Edie Richter Is Not Alone (novel), One Woman Party (blog) and one hell of a cool woman, is here to talk breast implants, update us on Cancer Jane and tease her next novel. There’s laughter, singing and porn metaphors! What’s not to love!? Rebecca Handler iykyk Perfume (“Ew da Toilet”) Joselyn bought in Paris (ships to lots of countries, including US)

Joselyn went to France that one time, so here she is to dole out indispensable advice on how to France.

In our first ever LIVE-ish show, someone needs a vacation and it’s not not Lauren. Vacation Planning Spreadsheet

Ginny and Joselyn discuss the finer points of sexual dominance, the structures surrounding the human vagina, and why so many people don’t know what (or where) they are. #findom

You are not prepared for the genius, the hilarity, the sheer enjoyment that is Ginny (@shudlucky), our very special guest on this week’s episode. We’re talking social media, working out (or not), why the only mastectomy titties you can find online are white and so, so much more. Follow Ginny on IG! Follow us on IG! Email us (yes, really!) breastcancerisboring@gmail.com

One day we will all race through space-time a la Star Trek Discovery, or the mushrooms will end us all. Either way, these magic mushrooms are cool as shit. Understanding Star Trek Discovery’s mycelial network Paul Stamets’ TED Talk on why mushrooms are so damn cool (also watch Fantastic Fungi on Netflix) An academic article on the morphology of the mycelial network

One pill to make you larger, one pill to make you small, one pill to stave off a cancer recurrence that would prevent you from going to Paris, and one pill to help with the anxiety you feel about having to take a pill to stave off a cancer recurrence that would prevent you from going to Paris. We’re talking drugs, ya’ll.

Joselyn is going to Paris and she’s got a spreadsheet for that; now you can too. Click the link below for an International Trip Planner spreadsheet and follow along to this episode for tips on how to use it. International Trip Planner!

No way around it, this one’s about death. If you’re not here for it, no prob. If you are, it’s going to be fun, sad, difficult and encouraging. No one should have to talk about death alone, so join us. Some general info on living wills and MPOAs. Info on donating your body to science. Human composting is a thing. Eight hours of peaceful birdsong to calm you after listening to this episode and thinking on the inevitability of your own bodily demise.

In this B Side, Joselyn and Lauren try a thought experiment where they fantasize about what they would do, what they would wear, how they would live if they were the person they long to be. And then try to rectify why they aren’t that person. What fun!

Well, did you? Because we missed you. Join us as we kick off this season with an update on what we’ve been doing the past few months, our hopes and dreams for the rest of the year and a sneak peak at what’s coming for BCIB S4.
